record which was during the Spanish
American war the envy OF every cap
tain III the navy, ana the stunt sde
pulled during the first we ks of the

The Mangrove alone, took the sec

the war the Mangroye was detailed tC

was made cut to lie the Spanish tran

To this end all the portfolios were
opened and pieces Of wood, blackened
to represent guns, werN thrust through
them The boom of Der derrick which
Is carried in the DOW of the boat was
allowed to rest at the angle at which
guns are usually carried, and the au-

to intercept the Panther. Just at
nightfall the two vessels met. and al.
though the Panther lowered over the
Mangrove loke a giant mastiff over a
pug, the latter fired a shot from one
OF her small guns across the bow of
The panther and called to her to sur
render.
Such was the audacity of the little
vessel, that the captain of the Panther,
thinking that the Mangrove must have
some armament aboard that he knew
nothing OF, made haste to surrender
without firing a shot
Alter the capture, it was found that
there were more than a dozen six-inch
guns and whole regiment of Span

was bound for Havana.
Alter the prize was brought into
port newspaper correspondents asked
the captain of the Panther why he
surrendered TO such a small boat as
the Mangrove. His reply was that he
thought that the Mangrove was the
Nesuvius, which was a dynamite boat
which had gained a fearful reputation.
and OF which he mad heard wonderful
tales, and that he was afraid that his
Dcat would be dynamited unless he
surrendered Immediately. He added
that he know no boat as small as the
Mangrove would dare to attack him
unless there was something marvel

After the capture the Mangrove
