Huge Alligator Attacks Ship; Mando-
lin Music Lures Whistling Monkey

and Men Fight Vampire Bats.

New York.-Pipe all hands on deck,
mates, and listen to this CORY tale OF
the sea- 1t is the tale of the little
steamer Javary which recently arrived
from a voyage of $500 miles down the
Amazon river
Captain Alexander Alexander is mas.
ter of the Javary and many trip he
has made up and down the Amazon.
The first mate is G.. N. Duff, the Sec
ond r. B. Furneaux, and the third, j.
l.. Williams. All are familiar with the
waters of the Amazon, it's mosquitoes.
its alligators and it's blood-sucking
vampires.
On the second day out, with just
a Whit of breeze to temper the heat,
the Javary was coming along slowly.
as all ships do in those waters at the
start. Mr.. Duff-they call all officers
Mr." on all we'll regulated ships-was
on deck A huge alligator showed his
ugly head above the water near the
river bank, then came with a rush on
to the steamer.
With a bang he hit the side of the
ship, and the force of the shock
bounced him back
Mr.. Duff walked forward, looking
over the side, and the alligator fol-
lowed him in the water. When they
got to the bow the attacking party
renewed the attack. A Hedge anchor
hung over the bow, for in those waters
they have to be ready always to drop
hook or throw it into the bank to
warp around bend. The kedge is
let go by withdrawing steel pin from
its fastening Mr.. Duff waited until
the alligator was rushing head on at
the bow plates, then pulled the pin.
With All awful bump the hook smash

surprised alligator ever seen in the
! Amazon.
Third Mate Williams plays the man

alligator episode he was on deck, the
vessel being at anchor under the
overhanging foliage of the bank. AS
he played he heard whistling &C

mind whether the sound was that OF

fell or jumped from aloft and landed
on his back.
He screamed In terror as a pair OF
hairy arms encircled his neck, and
rose to grapple with the whatever"
it was. Sailors ran to his assistance
and found him tied up with a gibber-
ing, jabbering whistling monkey. It
was a species OF the whistling mon
key of the Amazon, which had been
often heard by those on board and
never before seen.
1t was only few days after this
occurrence that Second Officer Fur.

most peculiar phenomenon in the wa.

turned black. The officer called the
captain and, by and by, through the
glass they made out an immense

the Maine that went down In Havana harbor,
and which going down FASTENED the conflict with
Spain-still half floats in Chesapeake bay, just
enough of her left to provide another marksman'
ship test for some mighty dreadnaught OF the
fleet under Admiral Badger
AS went the old Texas, SO will go some OF the
other ships of the fleet that Is obsolete. Already
the Indiana is mentioned as the next martyr ship
for the Atlantic feet and after her the Massa-
chusetts and then the Iowa, and perhaps within
a year or two the Kearsarge and the Kentucky,
the Alabama, the Illinois, and the Wisconsin, all
of them beyond all question or doubt now OF the
obsolete type of fighting craft.
But let's call the roll of the obsolete fleet. and
the fagships shall lead off just they did at
Manila and at Santiago:
1. The cruiser Olympia, flagship Of Dewey at
Manila.
e. The armored cruiser Saratoga. flagship Of
Sampson at Santiago.
g. The armored cruiser Brooklyn flagship OF

rah for a navy that was admittedly one OF the
best on the seven seas.
The American navy is still among the best, but
the ships that we're fought by Dewey and by
SAMPSON and by Schley no longer figured IN

mand of Rear Admiral Badger one OF the most
powerful fighting organizations the world has
ever
Every one Of the famous ships OF 1898 Is today

Just a year ago the then secretary of the navy
George Won L. Meyer publicly called attention 10
the fact that the American navy had more than
its full quota Of battleships whose day IN the
first line had passed and the places OF which
would have to be taken by more modern ships OF
the Wyoming and Florida classes If the United
States was to retain Its position as the worlds
second naval power The other day the observa'
ton of the exnava secretary was recalled by
naval officer in New York, who took pencil and
pad and, going back fifteen and twenty and
twenty-five years, figured out Just what the obso'
lete ships adjoining the naval lists originally
cost the United States government.
It was so ridicuousy easy, the computation Of
that total value of famous ships that ready
to die a naval death of old age. The result was
astounding, and when at last the navy man wiped
his brow and announced the result Of that little
mathematical feat of his he had proved that the
value of those ships, some Of them still less than
dozen years old, reached the stupendous total
Of more than 100000. or, to be exact,
