Rear Admiral Charles Dwight Sigs-
bee rose to fame through ono Of the
greatest naval disasters in American
history-'the blowing up of the
Maine" He was So years old at the
time: n captain. a veteran of the Civil
war. and an inventor OF deep-sea ex-
ploring and sounding apparatus.
Captain Sigsbee. commander of the
Maine. was ordered to Havana har-
Dor to protect American lives and
property during the crisis of the Gu
ban rebellion against Spain in 1898.
As the vessel was on a friendly mis-
sion. she was received with the GUS
tomary courtesies from the forts and
Spanish warships. and the usual Off
cial visits. She was assigned to a
the proper agents OF the Spanish gov
eminent.
On the evening of February Is. the
big white battleship had been riding
quietly at anchor for more han two
weeks. Captain Sigsbeo went to his
cabin shortly after 8 o'clock and
wrote a long letter to his wife By
the time he had finished many of the
32S men and 26 officers were asleep.
The captain had Just enclosed the
letter in IN envelope and started to
seal 1t when a deafening roar sounded
through the ship. Tho great vessel
began to list. Cropping his way
through the dark. Slgsbee reached
the deck. A scene of horror greeted
him. The Maine was sinking.
sNone can ever know" he said
later, "the awful CONSERVATION. des-
pair and suffering down in the for
ward compartments; of men wounded,
or drowning In the swrling water. or
confined in a closed compartment
slowly filling with water. It is com
forting to believe. and It is probably
true, also. hat most OF those who
were lost wore killed instantly"
The tragedy cost the lives OF asa
sailors. The news spread over the
world in a few hours, but not before
the entire American nation was
aroused to a pitch OF frenzy. believing
the Maine had been blown up by hos
tile Spaniards.
Suspend Judgment" urged sigs-
bee In his first report. His calm wis
dom did much to prevent the United
states from rushing into war imme-
d,ately. He accompanied the or
inquiry in its investigation OF n
wreck. and his expert knowledge
helped It to arrive at a decision as TO
the cause of the disaster.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July

York to San Francisco on a
dawn-to-dusk airplane flight,
landed on the Cheyenne air

noon tmountaln time). with his motor
leaking oil SO badly that he was al
most overcome by the fumes OF burn
ing oil. Despite his sickness, how
ever he made a perfect landing after
circling the field three times. Mechan.
les Immediately began feverishly
working to repair the leak but at 3
o'clock could not state how much
longer the work would take. Mau-
CHAN meanwhile reclined on a canvas
near the machine. suffering from
nausea, but arose at times to make
suggestions regarding repairs to his
ship. Mechanics expressed the hope
hat the repairs could be completed
by $50 O'Clock.
On landing here Vaughan had com
pleted 1850 miles of his flight. the
distance he had covered being 100
miles less than two thirds OF the dis
tance from New York to San Fran
cisco. The air route distance from
Cheyenne to San Francisco is 500
miles.
Maughan's average speed from New
York to Cheyenne. without deduct
ing time for stops was 1856 miles an
hour. Vaughan reported that an oil
leak developed in his motor when he
was about ninety MINUTES out from
Cheyenne and that fumes from this
n~auseated him. Him nausea became
so acute after he landed that he lay
down on n canvas spread near his
machine. Mechanics began feverishiy
working to repair h oil leak. which
is said to be serious,
Maughan said he circled the field
three times before landing because his
speed on the first two circles was
too great for a landing to be made
safely.
As he stepped from his machine,
said:
ST think It is all over. There is
something the matter with the OIL"
At 3:15 O'Clock the soldering OF tho
leak. which was in tho oil cooling
system, was progressing rapidly and
said he would continue his
flight.
Mechanics expressed the opinion
that the repairs made hero should en-
able Maughan to reach Salduro. his
next stop. but were apprehenstve that
repairs would be necessary
there. The leak was in the oil tank
