DISASTER OF LONG AGO.
Sinking of the Central America and
Heroism of Capt. Herndon.

Mrs. E. S. Sturgis, of Washington,
has contributed the following to the
Herald of that city:
"The unparalleled marine disaster,
involving the destruction of the Ii
tanic, the hugest and most gorgeously
equipped steamer that ever essayed
the voyage across the Atlantic; re-
calls similar disasters that have mark
ed the annals of ocean transportation.
In the list of distressing events, we
are reminded Of the sinking of the
famous steamer Central America,
which, under the command of Captain
William Lewis Herndon, sailed from
Havana for New York September 8,
1857, with 47S passengers, 1O5 sail
ors, and two millions of gold. The
vessel encountered dreadful storm
in the Gulf stream, sprung leak and
sank, September II, 1901.
All the women and children, and u
few men, by judicious management,
were put in lifeboats and saved from
the wreck; but 426 men, Including
Commodore Herndon himself, sank
with the Inflated vessel.
The gallant commodore, who mad
bravely aided in saving many others,
was earnestly urged to take a seat in
the last lifeboat with its precious
freight of stricken passengers,
but he refused to do so, preferring to
give way to little girl whom he had
in charge and whose life was saved
thereby, he declaring that "the child
should not be separated from its moth
er" who had already been placed in
the lifcboat.
Captain Herndon was a native OF
Fredericksburg, Va. He entered the
navy in 1928, served in the war with
Mexico, and conducted an exploration
of the Amazon. The little girl who
was indebted to him for her rescue
from a watery grave was the grand
daughter of Mrs. kennon, whose hus-
band was killed on the gunboat
Princeton in 1843, and who died at all
advanced age a few years ago at Tu-
dor Place, in Georgetown, District OF
Columbia.
The memory of the noble commo-
dore is tenderly cherished by all who
are familiar with the history of his
distinguished career in the American
navy, and it is well conceded that his
department as commander Of the Cen
trail America in its final hour was
equal to that of the most heroic par
icipant in the dreadful disaster Of
the Titanic, the stcel-ribbcd leviathaE
of The ocean

dies auxiliary to the Red Men, hold
their sessions a: the same time and
place each year.
Alexandria will put on a gala APP
pearance for the occasion, since the
merchants will decorate their places
of business, as well as the citizens in
general, who desire to show that a
glad welcome awaits them in old Al
