Captain Bill lard was in command of the vessel at the time. He declared that the heroism and presence of mind of Lieutenant Astor played the greatest. part in sav- ing the ship.
 The Aphrodite struck the mine for ward, but it did not explode. It bumped along the starbeard side of the vessel and would have gone clear had it not threw it against the propeller, and caused it to burst. The ship literally was thrown out of the water
 As usual on such occasions the alarm to abandon ship was sounded immedi- ately. It was at this point that Lieu tenant Astor exhibited extraordinary heroism by going below to make ar investigation as to the extent Of the | damage. It was found that in addition to other injuries. the vessels ruddel had been blown off. The hulkheads were closed and while she took watel rapidly in the after compartment, ( l jury mast was rigged and she man. aged to make port at Kiei safely. Captain Billiard said that the mem.
 bers of the commission were so i'm
 pressed with the coolness displayed b.
 Lieutenant Astor that they later wrot,
 him letter in which they commended him for his bravery.
