The Texas, like her sister, the
Maine, is now resting at the bottom.
They used her as a target the other
day-her own Government she hao
served so well. To be sure, she was
rather out Of date, and a warship
ages pretty quickly" in these times
of peace-and yet "the navy folk VINO
were around the caribbean in the
summer of 1898 have considerable re-
spect for her memory" SO the New
York Sun, recollecting "a dozen or
fleet" in which the then second
class battlesship was a large part of
the proceedings" takes the opportuu-
( ity of reprinting one of the most in
teresting experiences of the Texas,
which was told in that paper on the
29th of June, 1898, by T. M. Dieuaide,
special correspondent. His letter
was in part as follows:
OFF SANTIAGO, Wednesday, June
pa Jagged hole in the ships side,
a motionless form under rubber
blanket and eight wounded men in
the sick-bay are with the Texas this
morning as evidences that a Spanish
shell sometimes strikes. The hard
work and hard knocks of the fleet
seem to be coming the Texas way,
but the one-time hoodoo ship of the
navy has proved herself to be one
above N others that the Spaniards
do not like.
Single-handed and shOl, n ammuE-
ition, the Texas engaged the formid-
able Socapa battery and shelled it to
standstill It was a wonderful duel
between a land battery and a ship,
with all the natural advantages, as
usual, on the side of the shore guns.
The engagement was brought on in
following out Admiral Simpsons or
ders to facilitate the landing of the
army at Daiquiri, ten miles away. TO
Dire +He Snar'o Is attention as
much as possible from the real land
ing. Sampson ordered a feint to be
made at Cabanas Bay, small inlet
two and a half miles from MORO.
Ten transports we're tn make pre-
tense of landing troops there, and
the Texas, Scorpion, and Vixen were
to shell the small blockhouse ami
surrounding hills as if covering the
landing. By daylight the Texas was
in position, but no transports came
within sight until four o'clock, when
ten of them appeared to the west
ward. The Texas was then lying right
under the shadow of the mountains
Lieutenant Haeseler fired half a doz-
en- rifle shots. Before the echoes had
died away a puff of white smoke
arose above the high hill of Socapa,
a shell whistled over the masthead
and column of water shot up 800
yards astern. It was a splendid line
shot, and something of a surprise. IL
was followed almost Immediately by
another that struck even nearer.
What's the range of that battery?"
cried Captain Philip from the bridge.
Five thousand yards" was the re
ply. Time and again the ships had
lain within 1900 yards of the en-.
trance and never been fired upon.
In less than a minute Lieutenant
Bristol had the port twelve-inch tur-
ret gun trained upon the Socapa hill
and cloud Of red dust rising over
the Spanish guns attested the accur-
acy of his aim.
Then the Texas, forging steadily
nearer" began deliberate and we'll
aimed fire from the big guns of her
port battery:
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-04-22
WHEN A SPANISH SHELL HIT THE TEXAS

The Spanish battery with dlsap.
pearlng guns right on the crest Of
the hill was a mighty hard target
from swaylng ship. A trine over or
a triie under and the shots we're in
effective. To make the situation
worse, the Texas had no explosive
shells for her turret guns and USED
armor-piercing shells, which had 20
be placed within fraction of foot
to effective.
notwithstanding all this, time at
ter time the shots from the Texas
struck fairly within the short radius
of the Spanish battery, which rapidly
returned the fire. Yet one shell burst
within forty yards, port amidships,
the fragments flying all over the
ship, and rafting on her sides like
small-arm fire"
Captain Philip stood on the bridge
throughout it all, with his executive
officer, Lieutenant Commander Har-
Der, and his navigator, Lieutenant
Heilner, watching the effect of the
ships shots through telescope.
The Texas fired no wild shots.
Each one was reported to Captain
Philip its effect noted, and a mes
sage sent to the officer in charge of
that gun, little over" "a little UNI
der" or good shot; try again" Once
when one of Boatswain Brooks's six
nch shells tore a tremendous col
umn of earth fair in the Spanish bat
terry, the captain seized the whistle
rope and blew half a dozen vigorous
blasts to announce his satisfaction.
The Spaniards' fire faltered in the
first half hour, and thereafter they
dropped a shell only occasionally, but
they seemed to have the range bet
ter than they had ever had it before.
And all this time, though a little
diversion of the fire might have been
a good thing" the Texas was virtu-
ally isolated. For the Indiana. Ore
gon. Massachusetts, Iowa, and Brook
Ign, lying but few miles away,
were evidently decided that the Tex
as could take care of herself, and
took no part in the. fray.
After just an hour Of the combat
occurred the first disaster to the feet
off Santiago, the first time the Span
iards had struck one of our ships
here. A shot had just been fired by
the Texas, and all lands on the
bridge and in the tops were watching
where it fell
At that instant a cloud of smoke
arose from Socapa. "a dandy shot"
Ni1N~ - IF tho signal boys. THAT
was dago shot, you IDIOT! Uslled
Captain Philip impatiently, land by
cracky, it has hit us!"
There was no jar perceptible Oh
the bridge, but clouds of smoke were
arising from the forehatch. In a
twinkling the hose was run down
and investigation made.
The Spanish shell had struck the
ships side between frames seventy
eight and seventy-seven; had passed
through, tearing everything in its
path, and exploded on a stanchion,
full two feet of which was taken right
out of the middle. About the for
ward compartment of the gun deck
was a scene of confusion and ruin
But:
Before the smoke had cleared away
the wounded men were being carried
in strtchers to the sick-bay, where
Surgeon Du Bose and his assistants
we're ready to care for them. A blan-
ket was hastily thrown over what q
moment before had been a man. F.
