Mosul, on the western bank Of the

A PATHETIC DUEL.
Sad Sequel to = Meeting In tho Days

Sad Sequel to Meeting In the Days
When Middies Fought.
One of the most pathetic duels In
the early history of the American navy
was that between two young midship-
men whose names are not given in the
record, according to recent writer.
Their ship was in the Malayun wa
ters. One hot night they quarreled
over the question Of leaving open the
scuttle. The dispute was finally set
tied amicably by the exchange OF cots.
A superior officer who had overheard
one of the midshipmen that he would
have to ''call out" his friend If he
wished to retain the respect Of his
friends. TO avoid ostracism and to
conform to the standard of honor i'm
posed by his superiors the unwilling
midshipman challenged.
The meeting occurred on the sea-
shore. He wrote Of it afterward as
follows: Upon the signal we both
fred. found myself wounded and
was dDOul W bctlu upOu luy StSouu o
arm when ! perceived my opponent
fall upon the sand. My own wound
was In the fleshy part of the thigh 1t
did not prevent my running to the
PROSTATE figure of my old friend.
whose face exhibited intense pain. and,
kneeling down by his side, ! iniplored
his forgiveness. which he instantly
granted.
MY despair at his fate knew no
bounds. and, accusing myself Of his
murder. upbraided with the bitterest
reproaches those who had urged me
to send the challenge. For weeks after
his cot was attended by his late oppo-
nent. whose greatest JOY was to antici-
pate his wants."
The wounded youth recovered. but
had withered arm, and, leaving the
service, died Of broken heart

Rodents and water bugs had annoyed
