Red-Blooded American Heroes
HOW HoBsoN BOTTLED UP THE sPANIaRDs.

Somewhere beyond the skyline
of the east a fleet of powerful
Spanish war vessels were steam
ing the main. None knew what day
the giants of the sea would ap-
pear on the horizon, bear down
upon the American cities and
lombard them.
But our own scouts of the sea
we're not idle, and when they had
located the Spanish fleet in Santi-
ago harbor on the southern coast
CT Cuba, the whole country
breathed easier.
Schley commanding our Atlantic
squadron, halted at the entrance
to the harbor. He knew the first
ship to enter would be blown to
smithereens by the Spaniards.
A council of war was held.
Someone must go ahead with that
first vessel, sink 1t in the harbor
and bottle up the Spaniards.
Every man in the American
fleet was willing to risk his life
at the dangerous business, but
Lieut.. Hobson was chosen with
a few brave men.
Night fell in June 8, 1899, dark
and silent. Hobson, on board the
Collier Merrimac, steamed toward
the harbor entrance. All lights
were under cover in the Merrimac,
but toward the shore there were
red Sits in the night-the lights
that told Hobson where the enc
my's ships were riding at anchor.
The great searchlights of the
Spanish flagship flashed up and
down the harbor. Hobson knew
he could not long avoid that
searching eye. But he lay low with
his men.
And then-the full blaze of the
searchlights lowered for a mo-
ment over the Merrimac and set
tied like an angle of death upon
the silent craft.
Boomi
A shore battery had spoken, and
the waves parted with a tremen-
dous splash where the shot had
cut the water so close that the
spray splashed the boat.
Boom! Another shot tore away
the rudder of the American ship.
In this condition Hobson knew
he could not make the harbor's
mouth and sink the Merrimac
crosswise. He did the next best
thing-fired a fuse leading to the
powder magazine and left the
boat lying parallel with the chan
mel. The men plunged into the
warm water. A resounding expIo-

they remained in the water cling
ing to the debris, while the search
lights played up and down the
bay.
Then out of the night there
came the muffled sound OF a
launch. The exhaust grew louder
and louder and three or four men
standing up in the boat took form
as they approached.
"You are brave fellows" said a
kind voice. 1t was Cervera him
self, and the brave Spanish admir-
al with his own hands drew the
exhausted Americans out of the
water.
Hobson and his men were made
prisoners, with honorable treat
ment, and later were exchanged
for Spanish prisoners of war.
When Cervera's fleet was final
ly destroyed, and the gallant Span
lard was himself a prisoner of
war, he and Hobson had many
pleasant chats.

'tPound Trek" Is the New
Boy Scout Campaign

SPRINGFIELD H., Feb. e.
Boy Scouts of this city are keen
ing busy this winter with two spe-
cial activities, each of which gives
plenty of room for boy energy.
One is wireless telegraphy; the
other distinct invention of their
own, pound trek" to the home
of some needy family.
The boy scout wireless station
here is about ready for active OPP
erations which will put the youth
full operators in touch with points
as far away as Chicago and st.
Louis. The pound trek" has al
ready put several poor families in
touch with good food and cloth
ing.
Every 10 days the boys locate
some family in need. Each boy
gets a pound of something in the
way of food or clothing. Then
they march quietly after dark to
the selected home, leave their
packages and depart. In no in
stance do they make known be-
yond their own little company
the identity of the family benefit
ed. Nor do they notify even the
recipients in advance of their pro-
posed visit.
The whole thing is planned
and executed, quietly. All the gen.
eral public ever knows is that the
boys have taken another charity
hike" and that someone's heart
has been made a little lighter.
