DETAIL STORY Os
HOBSON'S FEAT
An Eve Witness Tells of the
Sinking of the Mer
rimac.
II WAS UNSUCCESSFUL
But that Does Not Detract in the
Slightest Degree from the
Bravery of the Deed,
New York. June 22.—A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The following description of the heroic
feat of Lieutenant Hobson in sinking the
Merrimac at Santiago has been received at
the navy department from Assistant Engi
neer R. K. Crank, a former shipmate and
personal friend of the gallant prisoner,
whose exchange has been refused by the
Spaniards.
it is valuable as being the account of an
eye witness as well as an officer of distin
guished technical ability, who barely miss
ed sharing Hobson’s fame as he started in
to the harbor with the vessel when the
first attempt was made, but was not al
lowed to accompany her on the second
trip, in spite of his earnest protest in be
ing detached after he had volunteered and
been accepted.
it conclusively shows that the Merri
mac’s mission was unsucessful. It had
been decided to try to block the enrance
to the harbor in order to bottle up the
Spanish inside.
On June 1, while the officers of the Mer
rimac were sitting at luncheon Assistant
Naval Constructor R. P. Hobson came
aboard from the flagship with the startling
announcement that the admiral had deci
ded to run the Merrimac into the entrance
of the channel leading to the harbor of
Santiago and sink her there..
Mr. Hobson roughly outlined his plans
and preparations were immediately begun
for putting them into execution.
The four transverse bulkheads of the
ship were located approximately and their
position marked on the port side of the
ship at the rail. The length of the Mer
rimac is 344 feet, her breadth of beam
about forty-four feet as near as can be
remembered.
A line was run along the port side of the
ship, parallel to the water line. This line
was suported by hogging lines” that were
run over the rail outside. Along this line
were to be suspended in eight-inch copper
cases ten charages of ordinary brown pris
matic powder, each charge weighing about
eighty pounds. Over this an ordinary ig
niting charge of brown powde- was plac
ed, and the whole was covered up with
pitch for protection against the water,
with a primer and wire for exploding the
charges.
The ship at this time contained about
2,000 tons of coal. As far as possible all
stores were removed. About dark the
powder charges were brought on board
and lowered into position over the port
side. The wire for exploding the charges
was run and connected and the dry battery
was made ready.
The first plan contemplated the simulta
neous explosion of all the charges. It was
found that the battery on hand was not
suffirent to explode with certainty only
« of the charges, so only six were con
nected.
Meantime one of the ships anchors had
liven taken and fitted to the star board and
hauled over the rail, ready for droning as
soon as the lashes were cut. The chain of
the anchor had been led aft forty-five
fathoms, led along the deck clear running,
and the chain stoppered at the starboard
bits. The starboard bow anchor and chain
were also made ready in a similar manner
for letting go. The cargo ports, of which
there are two on each side, one forward
and one after, were opened.
The ship was drawing about sixteen feet
of water aft, and there was about three
feet of freeboard from the water to the
lower edge of the cargo ports.
Below, in the engine room, the nuts
holding the bonnets of the main injunction
valve and the sea suction valve of the big
fire pump, were slackened off ready for In
stant removal, and wooden props were
wedged in on top of the bonnets so that af
ter the nuts had been taken off one blow
with a sledge hammer knock out the prop
and allow the bonnets to fly off.
Arrangements were made for cutting
two pipes leading from the sea to the
pumps and donkey boiler. All water tight
doors were taken off from the athwartship
bulkheads to give the water free access
to all parts of the ship.
Al these preparations were made with
the greatest haste, as it was desired to
send thes hip before daybreak on the
morning of the 22(1. One of the lifeboats
was to be towed from a line amidships on
the starboard side. -All cans containing
stores were knocked open.
The officers and crew, with the exception
of Captain Miller. Assistant Engineer
Crank, Machinist J. Phillips, Ordinary
Seaman iDeigan and Acting Water Ten
der Kelley were on the flagship New York.
The preparations 'were not completed un
til nearly daylight. Finally all the pre
parations were completed. The ship had
been headed in only a very few minutes
when she was directed to return by the
flag ship. This recall was a great disap
pointment to Mr. Hobson, who wished to
go on and have the thing over with, de
spite the daylight.
This was daybreak on June 2. Word was
sent to us in the engine room that the
fires might be banked, and that the engines
would not be needed further. It had been
decided to postpone that attempt until the
next night. Os course, the nervous strain
had been very great on the men and had
acted as a stimulous to keep them up. The
men left their stations and the ship steamed
out further from shore. She was separated
from ail the fleet and in her abandoned,
gutted condition certainly seeme 1 like a
doomed vessel. The Marblehead came near
th< ship abut 8 o'clock to get the personal
effects of the officers, which hod. however,
been sent aboard the Massachusetts the
afternoon before. It was requested that
some food be sent aboard as there had
been none left on board and no means for
preparing any. Some coffee and hardtack
were sent aboard from the (Marblehead.
This was all the men had until late in the
afternoon, except those who went on board
the flagship to rest and get something to
eat. Boatswain Mullen went aboard the
flasshtp and did not return for the second
and final attempt. Seaman iMurpby. of ibe
lowa, came aboard to take his place. The
men lay around the ship most of the day
attempting to get a little rest. Some very
slight changes were made in the plans.
About 1:30 o’clock Mr. Hobson came on
the bridge. All the men who were to eo in
with the ship. 'Montague, Gherett, Philips.
Diegan. •Murphy and Kelley, were called
up and given final instructions as to their
duties. Everything was made ready below.
The relief crew and myself were sent on
board the Texas. The ship was steaming
jn toward the entrance at ‘‘dead slow.”
so as to enable the launch to go over to
the Texas and then catch her. This was
about 2:30 a. m.
At about 3:15 the first shot was fired,
coming from one of the guns on the bills
to the left, (west) of the entrance. The
shot was seen to splash seaward from the
Merrimac, having passed over her. The
firing came general very soon, and after
being especially fierce and rapid from the
battleship inside on the left of the har
bor. probably from batteries on Smith bay.
The flashes and reports were apparently
those of rapid fire guns, changing from
small guns to 4-inch or larger guns. For
fifteen minutes a perfect fusilade was kept
up. Then the fire slackened and by 3:ao
had almost ceased. A close watch was
kept on the mouth of the harbor in order
to pick up the steam launch. There was
a little desultory firing until about 3:45.
At about 5:15 the launch was seen steam
ing from west to east across the mouth of
to westtashradoa roar aor dorda oradoada
the harbor. She steamed back from east
to west and then began skirting the coast
to the west of the entrance. 'Mr. Powell
came along side the Texas and reported
that no one had come out of the entrance
of the harbor. His words sounded like the
death knell of all who had gone in on the
Merrimac.
It seemed incredible, almost impossible,
that any of them could have lived through
the awful fire that was directed at the
ship.
There was probably none in the fleet who
did not think all seven of the men had
perished. In the afternoon, much to rhe
surprise of every one a tug, flying the
flag of truce, was seen coming out of the
entrance. The Vixen, flying a table cloth
at the fore, went to meet the tug. A Span
ish officer went aboard the tug and was
taken aboard the flagship. Not long after
a signal was made that Murphey, of the
lowa, was saved and was a prisoner of
war. About 4 o’clock an other signal was
made from the flagship: “Collier’s crew
prisoners of war. Two slighly wounded.
Al well.” It can easily be imagined what
relief this signal brought to all hands who
had been mourning the death of all the
men.
The Spanish officer said also that the
prisoners were confined in Morro castle.
He said further that Admiral Cervera
considered the attempt to run and sink the
iMerrimac across the channel as an act of
such bravery and desperate daring that he
thought it only proper that our admiral
should be notified of the safety of these
men. Whatever the motive for sending out
the tug with the flag of truce, s he act was
a graceful one and one of most chivalrous
courtesy. The Spanish officer is reported
as saying: “You have made it more diffi
cult, but we can still get out.” From the
bearings of the Merrimac, whose masts
and smoke pipes could be plainly seen,
taken in the afternoon, it appears that she
is lying with Tier bow to seaward just
above Estrell’s Point, with her stem swung
around until she lies almost parallel of
the direction of the channel. From the fact
that she is completely submerged, except
her mast and smoke stacks, it would seem
that she is sunk some little distance from
the right bank. However, she is not lying
across the channel. So far as blockading
the channel the attempt cannot be said to
be successful. It is probable that-the an
chor on the starboard quarter carried away
the stoppers on the chains and also the
bits, which were not very securely fastened
■in the deck. And the chain must have cut
through the rail as far as the midship sec
tion of the ship. This would have permit
ted the stern to swing entirely around and
lay up and down the channel. According
to the Spanish report of the affair sent to
'Madrid, one of the big American liners at
tempted to force the entrance of the har
bor and had been sunk in the channel by
the batteries, and that only seven of the
crew escaped. Whether a failure or suc
cess, the attempt of the Merrimac will un
doubtedly go down in history as one of the
bravest and daring deeds in naval annals.
'Mr. Hobson and the men under him were
fully alive to the desperate if not hopeless
nature of the expedition and their small
chance of escape from death. There was
no shrinking. On the contrary, there was
the greatest eagerness to be alowed to go
with the ship. The steady refusal of Mr.
Hobson to have more on board than was
absolutely indispensable for the bare dis
charge of the duties required, showed how
well he appreciated the danger. He de
clined to grant the persistent and earnest
entreaties of a number of young officers
who begged permission to go. It
well now tljat he went alone and that all
the honor and praise are his.

NO MONEY ORDER
STAMPS NEEDED.
Important Agreement Reach
ed bv the Officials in
Washington.
Washington, June 23.—<An almost total
stoppage of the money order business on
July 1, it is said, has been averted by an
agreement between the. officials of the
treasury and the postoffice departments,
that the law does not require stamps to be
affixed to domestic money orders.
It would be impossible, say the officials,
to supply stamps by that date. As con
strued by the officials the law requires
simply an additional charge of the value
Os the stamps to be made when the money
order is issued. The paragraph of the war
revenue law in regard to money order?
reads as follows:
"And from and after the first day of
July, 1898, the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply as well to original domestic
money orders issued by the government of
the United States, and the price of such
money orders shall be increased by a sum
equal to the value of the stamps herein
provided for.’’
The latter portion of the passage is ta
ken to mean that stamps are not to be
used. This construction of the law will
obviate the use of about 32.0(h),0000 stamps
each year, that being the approximate
number of money orders issued annually.
A circular to postmasters at money order
postoffices has been prepared by the post
office department directing them to follow
this ruling.
The blank application now in use need
not be changed and not until the stock in
hand is exhausted will any change apear
in money order blanks.

LETTER FROM THE SURGEON
In Which He Tells of the Comfort
Afforded to the Sick—Fighting
Bob Endorses It.
Washington, June 23—Surgeon General
Van Reypen, of the navy, has received a
number of letters from his officers on
board the ships of Admiral Sampson’s
squadron, testifying to the gratefulness
and appreciation with which the delica
cies sent for the sick and wounded have
been received.
These delicacies were made up of the
fruits of various kinds, etc., were pur
chased by the contributions received by
the surgeon general from several of the
associations throughout the country which
have been raising funds for. that purpose.
The following is a sample of the many
letters received. It is from Surgeon Gen
eral M. H. Simons, of the lowa, dated
June 15, and is in acknowledgment of sta
tionery, for the men and fruits for the sick.
The letter says:
“If the ladies who sent them could see
how they are appreciated by the poor fel
lows who have had nothing of the kind for
nearly two months during which time they
have been continuously aboard ship in a
temperature of between 80 and 90 degrees,
they would understand better than I can
tell them how refreshing the fruits are
and how grateful all are for the angelic
thoughtfulness which prompted the send
ing.”
Captain Evans, of the lowa, made the
foilowig indorsement on this letter:
“Dr. Simons has stated it very mildly.
Being for the moment one of the sick ones,
I can feelingly testify and do most willing
ly and gratefully express my thanks and
those of my ship’s c’ompnay for the de
lightful presents.” -
A letter from Surgeon Thomas H.
Streets, of the Solace, says that that ship
arrived at Guantanamo on the 13th in
stant, just in time to take aboard the ma
rines who had ben wounded in the battel
at that place. 'Afterwards the ship went
to the vessels of the squadron and collect
ed their sick.
There were only nine sick on all the
vessels of the squadron and they were
transferred to the Solace. Subsequently
the Solace returned to Guantanamo and
took on board the Insurgents who had
been wounded in the fight.
Surgeon Streets in this letter takes occa
sion to express the grateful appreciation
of the medical corps for the pajamas do
nated to the ihip through Mrs. Francis iH.
Catlin, of -Morristown, N. J. They were
particularly serviceable, he says, for the
use of the wotinded marines.
