IMPORTANT NAVAL MYSTERIES.
War Vessels of the United States That
Have Disappeared Without Explanation.

Curious disappeararces and accidents
to our war ships characterized the early
history of our navy, and in spite OF all
the efforts of the navy department to ex-
plain the cause of the disasters, many OF
them are as absolute mysteries to-day as
when they happened.
When the government built 10 new
gunboats to prosecute the war against
Tripoli, in 1905, they were sent out as
soon as they were finished and before
they were named. Each one was given
a number and despatched to the scene OF
the war Number seven sailed from New
York June 20, 1905, under the command
of Lieut.. Ogelvie, and after she cleared
Sandy Hook light she was never heard
from again. She went down with all on
board before she had even been named.
A most extraordinary accident was
that which happened to the corvette
Mononpahela at Santa Cruz, IN 1904.
While at anchor in the harbor tremen-
dous tidal wave lifted her upon its crest
and carried her clean over the town OF
Frederichstadt aid back again without
iniuring the town or the boat to any
great extent. The receding wave landed
her on the beach instead of in the deep
water of the harbor, and it cost our gov
eminent 100000 to float her again.
Fully as strange was the tate OF the
sloop- of-war Wateree. She was anchored
in the harbor of africa, Peru, in 1868,
when huge tidal wave swept inland and
flooded the whole city. The wave carried
the sloop several miles inland and finally
landed her in the midst of a tropical for
est. 1t was impossible to release her
from such peculiar position and the
Government sold her for a nominal sum.
The purchasers turned the vessel into
hotel and the remains of the once Tor
midable war vessel loom up in the trop-
zeal forest to-day as a monument to the
power of tidal waves.
Among other cases of disaster, which
are attributed to the violence of the
waves or weather, there is none more IN
teresting than that of the strange tate oil
the Saratoga. When she sailed from
Philadelphia in October, 1850, under the
command of Capt James Young, there
was no finer or handsomer war vessei
afloat. That she was as formidable as
she was attractive she soon demonstrat-
cd in a practical way. After cruising
around a short time she captured three
British vessels in succession, and then
with her prizes she started to return 10
Philadelphia. But off the Delaware capes
she encountered a British ship OF line
As the Saratoga carried only Is guns
and the intrepid was T4-gun ship, capt
Young considered it safer TO run away
The enemy did not chase her far, but re
turned to protect and recspture the brit-
! ish prizes. The Saratoga sailed away m
the very teeth Of storm and she was
never heard from again. Did she founder
at sea in the gale, or was she blown up
by her own magszinef
