THE TARs OF THE OREGON.

From the Atlanta Constitution
A picturesque story is that from san
Francisco in which is described the
the sailors who served on the battle
ship Oregon during the Spanish-Am-
erican war. The vessel, now almost
antiquated by the swift rush of naval
progress, immortalized itself by the
cruise around Cape Horn when the
Atlantic fleet was assumed TO be IN
peril from the Spanish fleet. 1t has
been designated as the first naval ves-
sci to pass through the completed Pa
mama canal in 1915. Fifty or sixty or
the sailors who made this memorable
trip have petitioned Secretary Daniels
for the right to enlist for the fifty or
sixty days that will cover the tour of
the Oregon down the coast and
through the big ditch.
1t is a safe assertion that the senti-
ment of the entire nation will be be-
hind htem in their petition. The war
that wrought the last link In the re-
welding of the sections furnished no
incident more thrilling than the jour
ney of the Oregon. 1t was staged at
time when national sentiment was
on tiptoe. Doubt as to the strength OF
Cervera's fleet and the intentions of
its commander was painful. He
might so far as the public knew. be
able to pound to pieces either one OF
the American squadrons. The first
great test of American strength since
the Civil War was staged. Every ele-
ment to the situation was that making
for drama and uncertainty.
1t was at this psychological crisis
that the journey of the Oregon took
place. There came the long and tedi-
Gus trip down the west coast of South
America. and. from day to day. the
vague reports of the whereabouts OF
the vessel. Equally vague and dis
quieting were rumors of the presence
of the enemy. first in the Caribbean
sea. then. by one of those strange con-
tradictions in rumor Characteristic of
war. on the eastern side of the Horn
lying in wait for the unsuspecting
Oregon.
There is no doubt that 1t was upon
the ship itself that the uncertainty
and tension reached their crisis. The
crew did not know when or where
they might be called upon to meet an
enemy of unknown power, and wheth-
er they would be able to make their
destination or be blown out of the way
in alien waters. The climax of the
cruise itself could not have been more
dramatic had 1t been planned by a

sheltered interior room, away from
the searching lightning flashes.
The Capitol, set high above the
city, caught the blunt of the wind
rain, hail and lightning. The Sen.
ate was in session when the hail
swept sdown with a deafening roar
beating on the glass roof of the
chamber. The tumult made further
business impossible, and, hurryine
to the Vice Presidents desk, Sena.
tor Kern megaphoned with his
hands a motion to recess. The mo-
ton was put, and although the Sen
ators could hear nothing, the Sen
ate quit work for fifteen minutes in
confusion.
Here and there throughout the
city panic appeared. Horses. driven
frantic by wind and hail, dashed
through the streets in terror until
they were stopped by collision with
some other wind-strewn object. In
some of the Office buildings and the
Government departments panics
were narrowly averted. At the Bu-
reau Of Printing and Engraving
where hundreds of women are en-
ployed, the wind, sweeping through
a huge window, sent storm of
broken glass hurting through the
big pressroom.
Eight or ten women were cut by
falling glass, and one printer, John
Rhodes, received severe scalp
wounds. The crash of glass swept
panic through the big room. A
hundred or more of the girls work
ing as printers assistants tainted
and fell to the floor, and others
dashed terror-stricken for the eX-
it's. For two hours the office was
in an uproar.
While the excitement was at its
height the wind caught a bundle of
1000 81 bills, halffinished, and
swept 1t through the broken win
dow. The bundle was ripped to
pieces and the bills scattered far
and wide. Director Ralph hurried
out a force OF scouts, and, after
combing Potomac Park and the
grounds of the Washington Monu-
ment for miles and finishing in the
tidal basin nearby. all but SIS
worth of the bills were recovered.
Another panic threatened at the
Pension Office, where lightning rip
ped corner of the room and crash
ed in scores of windows. Another
lightning bolt tore hole in the
roof of the Post-Office Building and
ripped open one face of the big
clock in the tower.
The wind ripped fifteen heavy
panels from the floor OF the historic
old Aqueduct bridge, and a horse
and wagon crossing the structure
were blown into the river. The
driver escaped. Last night the po-
lice rounded up scores of strayed
horses and wagons which had been
deserted in the streets or had run
away.
In the residence section of the
city hundreds of houses were dam
aged, roofs torn off, cellars flooded,
windows smashed and fences demol-
ished. All through the night re-
ports continued to come in of dam
age done in the suburbs and of per-
sons injured in the path of the
storm. For a circle of about four
miles about the city the countryside
was devastated, truck farms swept
and crops ruined, suburban resi-
dences wrecked and trolley lines
damaged.
The Weather Bureau said that
the storm was a purely local heat
over the city. and that
It's path covered only a few miles.
The offic'ai records gave the aver
age velocity of the wind as fifty
four mites, although at times it
reached sixty-six miles an hour.
During the brief storm zoe
inches of rain fell.
