seriously wounded than any Union sol
dfer who survived a wound. Ho was
shot in the left temple. The bullet passed
through the head, destroyed the sight OF
his left eye and passed out just IN front
OF his right ear. The wound was sus-
tained at the battle Of the Wilderness. and
Meade lay on the field two days before
he received surgical attention.

the Roads and engaged first the Cum

shore batteries. For some reason the
Merrimac entered the Roads flying the

ing of her sides like peas against a
tin pan. He pointed this out to the
colonel In charge Of the land batteries
who replied characteristically to keep
on firing any way and let them know
they were there and had plenty Of
ammunition.
The next day Vanderzee had the sat
isfaction Of seeing the Merrimac en-
gagged and driven of in a sinking con-
dition by the famous Monitor. This
was the first battle ever fought be-
tween armored ships and 1t revolu-
tionized naval warfare. Mr.. Wander
zee intends to go to Newport News
from Washington and visit the scenes
Of his former experiences. At that
time there were but three houses at
Newport News. He expects to find
things somewhat changed.
Asked what he thought of things
modern. Mr.. Vanderzee stated that
when he remembered the brave fell
lows he had seen on board the Cum
berland going to their death in a fu-
tile fight against a superior fighting
machine 1t made him hot to think that
there were any today who would al

FLEET ON POTOMAC
SEEN BY HUNDREDS
MOSQUITO Vessels Will Give Another
Searchlight Drill at 9 O'clock
Tomorrow Evening.

Hundreds of visitors and veterans
are visiting the flotilla of torpedo boat
destroyers, naval yachts and trans
ports anchored in Georgetown Chan
mel. The vessels are lying off the
west end of Potomac Park.
The little fleet includes one of the
most up-to-date mine-laying vessels
yet designed. naval men say. Much
attention is being attracted by three
armed auxiliary vessels. used for
scout work and dispatch bearing. The
vessels came here from the Southern
drill ground. just outside the Virginia
Capes. where war maneuvers are In
progress.
The twelve vessels anchored in the
channel will give another searchlight
drill from 9 to $50 tomorrow night.
The vessels will be lighted from S un-
til 10 o'clock every night for the
remainder of the week, a strange sight
in the waters about Washington.
