Admiral HliKinaon's maneuver was
an excellent one and hi ought out the
finust points of the gnino ol war. Hu
cnmu down upon thu torln In two sir-
tlons. The cruisers were sent ahead
with thu apparent purpose of having
the fire concentrated upon them. Ha
then erupt up with his battleships
and opened lire with the purpose ot
crumbling the forts to pieces.
At 10:05 : p. m. n Koncrul alarm rang
out over Fort Wright and all the
troops were called to arms. At that
hour searchlight No. 5 picked up the
cruiser Brooklyn as she was speeding
to the westward toward the race. At
first it was supposed that the cruiser
was on her way to New York for re
pairs. but she came so close to the isl
and that a warning shot was fired , and
to the surprise of the officer she re
pllcu vigorously. This action lead-i to
the 1 ellef that the reported accident
tn ( ! < e Brooklyn has been exaggerated
by the navy. officials for the purpose of
throwing the defenders of the fort oft
tlio'r guard.
The firing had been on but a few
moments when the Olympia waa
sighted , closely following the Brook
lyn , and she , too , opened up with
every available gun at the forts. After
tlvase two vessels passed through the
race , three battleships were picked
up by the searchlights. They wore
soon recognized as the Kearnarge ,
Massachusetts and Alabama , and they
were proceeding toward the race In
the order named. As they passed the
forts they opened fire. Every gun at
Fort Wright was blazing away , and
Forts Terry and Mlchlo were alao
making a valiant attempt to put the
ships out of business. The dense
smoke , both from the guns of the bat.
tleshlps and forts , now enveloped the
former. The ships soon took advan
tage of this and scudded away through
the race.
