Sea Fights in the Old Days.

From the Vancouver Sun.
People think of the fifteen-inch guns
on Lizzie and ships of her class as the
largest naval guns ever made but
British war boats carried bigger guns
in the early days of the hardware navy.
The old lnf1eXible had four eighty
ton guns of sixteen-inch caliber Near
ly thirty years ago the British navy
had onehundred- and-ten-ton guns,
1925 inches in caliber. and these were
the most ponderous ships guns ever
made. But the seventeen-inch navy
gun is coming.
That reminds US that the world went
very well in the good old days when
ships of war thumped away at each
others wooden topsides with Long
Tom. who was only a round-butted SON
of-agun of a thirty-two-pounder and
Toms numerous family. long and short
the smallest member of which heaved
little thing smaller than tennis ball
Men fought just as merrily in the old
days, when the whole broadside of a
hree-decker was only so per cent of
the weight of one shell thrown by the
Lizzie at Turkish fort on MANY
hilled Gallipoli. The old wooden ships
hauled alongside each other at CLOSE
quarters, and the decks were a foot
deep in blood when the scuppers
choked with the fragments of shattered
humanity. The plunging round shot
was as capable a projectile, muzzle to
muzzle as the modern shell at ten
miles range. A two-pound shot could
cut man in two, and what shell could
accomplish more? The butchery was
just as satisfactory proportionately to
the number of men on the ships The
records of the old sea battles show that
vessels often lost SO per cent in killed
and wounded. and sometimes as high
as 70 per cent. In some fights offshore
ships were sunk or burned without as
much as a rat escaping. In thew of
this modern guns and gunnery have
hardiy made sea fights any more
bloody than in the days of sticks and
strings"

| FIELD HEADQUARTERS, April "a,
| by motor courier to Columbus, N. NJ.
April ga cavalry lieutenant, with a
face sunburned the color of a ripe
cherry. has arrived here bringing a
story of adventures and fighting by
the column which penetrated farthest
south in the Villa chase fifteen miles
farther than even Tompkins at Parral.
and which rode nearly 500 miles until
it was in sight Of the Durango state
! line on Chihuahua's southern border.
This was the picked squadron of Maj.
Robert L. Howe of the 18th Cavalry.
They rode trails where no Carranza
soldier had ever been. where the ma
| tives asserted no horse could go and
where Villa adherents laid ambuscades
of sinister cunning-but always inef-
fective
1t was April Z when, three miles
south of Cineguite. the picked squadron
came on an abandoned wagon of the
prairie schooner type. from which the
canvas cover had been ripped. The
wagon was in good condition.
The Americans were able to account
for this only in the light of reports
they had received that Villa himself,
wounded. had ridden in this wagon a
had been assured that the wagon over
turned, that Villa tainted and that the
canvas was thereupon ripped off to
make litter on which Villa was said
to have Travelled, carried by his men.
When the squadron reached San Bor-
jas they received the only report on
their entire trip that Villas wound
was not serious. Hearsay news at San
Borjas had him wounded in the leg, but
astride a mule. At l o'clock that after
noon. however, they struck at Casa
Colorado. ten miles south of San Bor-
jas, the most direct circumstantial evil
dence of the fugitive's whereabouts.
In a field where about 100 men had
camped few days before were found

an entirely hostile Villa country. The
Americans doubled the length of each
days march until they were two days
behind their quarry, instead of week,
the handicap under which they started.
San Jose del Sitio was the next stop
after Casa Colorado. Here a wealthy
old man of the DiaZ regime told Mai.
Howe that Villa had probably turned
west, in all likelihood toward Nonova,
in the mountains. Villa had sent most
of his personal escort through San
Jose del Sitio, he said.
Hoping to cut off Villas trail out of
the mountains the cavalrymen rode
south to Balleasa. Before reaching
that place they passed through Lajova,
where band of bandits scurried out
OF town ahead of them, scattering in
dozen different trails.
Troop A of the 18th Cavalry, leading
one of. the pursuing American squads,
passed the last man of the fugitive
group as he was about to enter the
brush on top of a ridge. An officer
shouted to him in Spanish to sur
render. The Mexican ran and the
Americans fired three shots. Each
