Thrilling Story Of Delaware Writings
Experiences as q Seaman.
Washington. Delaware Whiting. the
subject of this sketch. IN a native OF
this city and received his early -educa
ton In the well known Henry Highland
Garnet public school. From n mere
youth he seemed destined to become
child Of the sea. and In 1880. at the age
of sixteen. he enlisted In the United
States navy receiving ship Dale. ther
stationed at Washington navy yard.
Mr.. Whiting was rapidly promotes
and transferred from ship to ship. n
was Just after passing the required
examination as q wreck blower that ht
was assigned to the Yantic. ther
wreck blowing along the cOast Of the
Delaware breakwater. when that shiE
received orders from the secretary OF
the navy to blow up the hull Of the
famous ship Waterloo. then lying Oh
Chatham. Mass.
The fearless manner In which this
lad went about his new duties would
have done credit to veteran. and the
work was brilliantly performed. From
that time on Del" as he was wont tc
be called. could be relied upon whether
the ship sank or swan.
What Mr.. Whiting Is pleased to cal
the beginning Of his foreign mission
was in September. 1900. when he wat
transferred from the Yantic to the Pen
sacola. bound for Bluefelds. Nicaragua
when he was promoted to the rank OF
second class apprentice. While sail
ing through the strait Of Magellan the
Pensacola encountered severe gale
In which the ship lost three men and
two boats.
The storm lasted seventeen days and
delayed them in reaching the west
coast Of Chile. The Pensacola's provi
sions ran low. md the crew for the first
time knew what real hunger was
They cast anchor. prayed - a very
strange thing for the sailors to do-and
waited for the day.
While lying In port at Valparaiso the
Pensacola was fred upon by the Chile
ans. Mr. Eagan. the American consul
was appealed to by Admiral McCanp
for protection. Mr.. Whiting was then
a signal boy on the Pensacola. and II
was the signal given by this black boy
that assembled the crew for the on
slaught in which several Americans
were killed as well as Chilenns.
The United States had to pay an
indemnity Of $4,000 to Chile for loss
of life and injury to her citizens. This
was one Of the most thrilling expert
ences our subject had during his career
as child Of the sea. He speaks Spnn-

THOUGHT II DUTY
TO KILL ROOSEVELT
Would Be Assassin Tells Of
Visions and Dreams.

Milwaukee, Oct. 16.--The weapon
which John Schrank used is a deadly
one Of 38-caliber, It is ugly. large and
shining in its newness. It is Of a kind
used extensively in the army and is
made to shoot to kill"
John Schrank is q curious study. He
does not have the appearance OF Ia
borer, and his hands are small and
well formed and smooth, as though un-
used to toll. He talked fuently at
times, using excellent English, but
often he stopped abruptly and refused
to say another word until his changing
mood made him talkative once more.
His appearance is that of an intelli.
gent man and his large, clear eyes,
which he held steadily upon his in.
Quisitors, did not seem to the police
like those of most men who are in.
sane, although the police believe that
he was afflicted with some form OF
mental disorder.
His stories Of dreams and visions
and the curious letters and clippings
found in his pocket seemed to them to
bear out their theory. Whatever his
state of mind 1t was apparent to all
who saw him that John Schrank was
thoroughly in earnest and that he felt
that 1t was matter of high duty for
him to kill Theodore Roosevelt.
