The most memorable siege of Gibraltar, Indeed one of the most memorable of all •leges, was that which the fortress sus tained from the combined sea forces of Fratooe end Spain during the years 1779 to 1786. The great attack on the place was mode on the 18th at September, 178 k, and all the reeouress of power and science Were exhausted by the assailants in tbs -fruitless attempt I* wks on this day that ■* hnm his art vats performed an act which* history has*' handed down to ua. The business of the itoge jwogressed. The rock by the batteries ■ent forth its splinter* to deal destruction around at every Impact of the Spanish shot, but the return fire was of the most telling description and most steadily kept up by the British. Bnt removed from the smoke and din, in the laboratory of the gaMson, sur rounded by the chemistry of war, sat one man, a humble private. His it was, while hie comrades worked the guns in the suffocating casemates of the covered batteries, to prepare the shells for the use . of the mortars, a dangerous task—so dangerous tn fact that evea the examina tion of ■ the deadly missiles is considered sufficiently perilous on board ship to war rant a stage being sitingoyer the side to bo occupied by only Ono or two men, the others being kept at a distance. But familiarity with peril robe men of their fear, and Hartley sat busily making ready shell after shell, filling them with the ex plosive composition, and afterward fitting in the fuses, driving them home and rang ing the prepared shells in cases till they should be fetched to be sent in fiery ares' to deal death: and dettrootion among- the •nomy» w The laboratory was at that time full of explosive material, every grain of which was of inestimable value to the beleaguer ed garrison, and it had been accordingly placed in a position which rendered it im possible for the shot or shell of the enemy to reach it. But now the danger guarded against from without threatened if pos sible more terrible from within—threat ened to destroy at one blow the whole of the explosive - compounds stared for de fense, and this at a time When such a loss would have been irreparable. Shell after shell had been filled, the grim black spheres, as they lay ready, giv ing but small signs of their deadly power —the force that should rend them into in numerable shreds of cast iron, each to malm or slay. Suddenly, while calmly proceeding with Ms Work and driving a fusehrto a fresh filled shell, tha fate took ’ fita, hissing loudly Mit discharged its rein of sparks and burning rapidly away. There seem ed hardly time for thought, much less for action, and the first feelings of Hartley were those of blank dismay. He had seen the discharge and. flight of ■hells so often that he knew he could only reckon upon its burning for a few sec onds, and then would come a dire explo sion that would act Upon the part of th» fortress where he was tike an earthquake, the bursting of the shell being, as it were, * but the flash in the pan that would prelude the blowing up of the laboratory. But with the calmness of the man whose trade was one which brought him daily face to face with death, Hartley seized the shell in both hands, hurried out into the open air and then with a tremendous effort hurled the deadly globe far into space, where a ooupla-of garonds after it harm lessly burst.

Aa lataraatta* Deueriptton •* **»• Meehan tam aad Use of the Loat, With a Trwthfnl Red Sea Shark Stary At taehmeaA “How do yon ascertain Um speed of • vessel?” is a question frequently ad dressed to naval men, and an explana tion will therefore probably be of inter est to many readers. There are several methods, the commonest and most an cient being by tbkuve of the “log.” This instrument oonrirta of three parts —the logship, the line and the marks. The logship la a piece of wood about half an inch thick and shaped like a quadrant, with a piece of lead let in round the circular edge to make it float perpendicularly in the water. It is slung by lines at each angle, the three lines being joined together about two feet from the logsbip. Two cf the lines are securely fixed to the ship and the other has a bone peg nt the end, which, being .pushed into a hole in the ship, tempo rarily fastens it there. From the point of juncture of the three lines a sufficient length is measured, generally about 100 feet, to take the logship well clear of the ship’s wash. This is called the “stray line” and is marked with a piece of bunting. From the bunting is measured 47 feet 8 inches, and the line marked here with a piece of leather. Then another 47 feet 8 inches is measured off and marked with two knots, then another space the same length, and marked with three knots, and so on as far as seven knots. Halfway between each batch of knots one single knot is made. The log line is then ready for use. . The space between the knots is found from the simple little rule of three sum: As 3,600 seconds (number of seconds in an hour), 28 seconds (length of sand glass), 6, 080 feet (number of feet in a nautical mile); length of line required —which works ont to 47 feet 8 inches. To use the log four persons are re quired—two men to hold the reel on which the line is wound; the quarter master, to hold the glass, and the mid shipman of the watch, to heave the log. The last named puts the peg firmly in the logship and then gathers three or four coils of line in his hand, sufficient to admit of the logship being thrown well clear of the ship. He asks, “Clear glass, quartermaster?” "Clear glass, sir!” comes the reply, and overboard go the logship and line, the reel rapidly revolving. Presently the middy feels the piece of bunting passing through his hand, and he gives the order, “Turn.” The quartermaster turns the glass and watches the sand while one “reeler” holds the reel well over his bead, so as to give the line fair play. When the sand has run out, “Stopl” cries the quartermaster. The midshipman grasps the line, as sisted by the other reeler, and looks for the nearest knot, finding a single one close to his hand. Then the line is haul ed in, and four knots appear, which signify that the ship is going four and a half knots through the water. The jerk of the line draws the peg from the logship, which now floats on its flat side and is easily hauled in. When 'a ship is going over four knots, a 14 sec ond glass Is nsed, the speed being double that shown by the knots on the line. Another method in use is the patent log. This is altogether mechanical and consists of a long cylinder with clock work inside it and four fins on the out side. It is towed astern of the ship by a line made fast to a swivel in the head of it A« it is dragged through the wa ter the four fins make it revolve, actu ating the clockwork inside, which regis ters on a series of dials the number of Knots run. This log has to be hauled in .every time one wants to read it, but there is another kind where the fan Is towed and the dial is a fixture to the ship. TMs is called a “cherub.” • Itese logs are not always accurate, and are constantly verified when near 'ftnd by cross bearings that is, the llwgsiilgs of two well known points are ftdteh' and the position so obtained is marked on the chart, the time of obser watten being noted and the reading on ■the patent log. After an interval has elapsed the position of the ship Is again taken by cross bearings, when the straight line joining the two places on ;tke chart will show the direction of the course sfoered and its length the distance mu. A comparison with the readings by patent iog.wfil give the error of the Tofinnti here is a patent log yarn, as told by an old messmate. I give it fa his dwn words: “When fa the Crocodile fa the Red sea, fait after taking the reading one night at 8 o'clock, the quMtermaster reported, ‘Shark taken the.patent log, sir I’ 1 got another eno orer «ttoee. At-9:80 next morning we stepped for half an hour. To amuse the ladles ItHed for and caught a shark. On opening him we found our patent log, AM,’* he added gravely, “strange to say, it registered the same m the one fa use. The line had jammed between his teeth, the fan working all the time he followed the ship. He had swum just 122 7-10 miles. ” —Navy and Army Dlustrated. “TSe Dirty Do»e«.” The town of Groton, Vt., is terror ized by hoodlums A secret organiza tion has been formed, known m “The Dirty Dozen, ” whose sole purpose is to perpetrate unlawful and shameful deeds.
