IN THE ENGINE ROOM
PIaoe of Stress When BattIeShip
Is in Action.
Fighting Strain Becomes Of an lnten-
sity Hard to Imagine-DeadIy
Torpedo the Weapon That
Is Most Feared.

Let us, as matter of interest, i'm
agine that we are In the engine room
Of modern dreadnaught in action.
On each side OF us, unobtrusively
slowed away in their mahogany, brass
bound cases, are the great turbines.
Their humming--though we cannot
see them-fllls the vast space with the
sound as of million bees let loose
Near each one hovers a grimy stoker,
oil can in hand, and his duty it is to
see that these monster humming tops
do not lack for fabrication.
Right in front, on the foremost bulk
head of the engine room, are the
telegraph dials and the telephones,
each of which is in connection with
the bridge, and under the direct con-
trol of the captain. These are the
things which tell us how the fight IS
going, for the keen engineer can read
signs and portents in the changes
which are rung upon the telegraph
Halls.

strain. 1t is bad even up in the great
turrets where men play their parts in
the grim drama, and hurl death and
destruction at the foe, but down here,
where one does nothing but wait for
orders, it is terrible.
The only man who does not seem to
feel the strain is the one who has ap-
parently the least to do, and that is
the engineer. He, however, is busily do
ing mental arithmetic. He knows how
many revolutions his screws are do
ing per minute, and he realizes that
as yet she has still little bit of
speed up her sleeve.
BY and by that last half knot may
be asked for, and he is calculating
how much speed he will be able to
present the captain with when that
final effort is asked for. No one knows
but he, and he won't tell.
There seems to be kind of waiting
expression on most of the faces, and
If they could tell you what they were
all waiting for it would surprise you.
Shut up as they are in small steel
boxful of machinery, they are not
thinking Of the chance Of an enemy's
projectile coming through and killing
them, nor are they waiting for death
to come to them in some other man.
ner What they are dreading is that
something should go wrong with their
beloved engines something that
would prevent their doing their bit"
in this fight.
They are listening-ever listening
for the hiss of escaping steam which
will tell them of main steam pipe
hit and carried away; for the shot
that might smash one of the boilers
into small pieces; for the rattle of the
steering engine as the rudder is blown
away, and the ship hangs, without a
guide, in the balance.
And then, with sickening sidelong
twist and a rattle of the steering en-.
CINE, the floor of the engine room
takes on a sickening slant The ship
has made sudden and acute turn.
The engineers face turns from

Hose l was called to Summer street

fire. No damage was done and it was
not necessary to use any chemicals. Hose
was called out Sunday afternoon for
fire near the baseball grounds. When

without damage. During the day Sunday
there was fire running in the woods
back of the c. H. Nelson place. It was
not threatening anything of value and
seemed fair to burn out without doing
any damage.
