CAPT. MXREA TELLS INCIDENTS
OF THE. AWFUL DISASTER.
the
taking
I saw
we were aeatlat; the records of the
other ships of the fleet. On the bridge
I could hear the coauaaad from th
after turret So I knew when the
next shot was coming.
"I heard the shout 'Fire.' but there
was ao shot, and then I saw men
running aft, and quickly the fire hose,
that Is always laid out to readiness
when there is firing going on. was
manned.
"I rushed to the after bridge near
the turret to see what was the mat
ter. The water was already being
poured into the turret The boatswain
and Midshipman Gravescroat led the
way for their mea with the hose. I
tell yon, there was courage! No maa
knew what had happeaed and ao maa
knew latowhat danger he might be
"Probably one little act, or rather
one great act. of oae of the mea. pre
vented a far greater disaster. I don't
know km name. He's dead. He and
oae other stood hy the second gun
that had just been loaded. The last
powder bag that had been put la was
protruding a little from the gun.
When he saw the flash, instead of
dashing to the ladder to save himself,
he crowded home the charge In the
gun aad with the help of the other
mea got the gua closed before the
flames reached the bag. If the flames
had touched that bag there would
have been aa awful explosion, for the
powder was confined la the gun and
would not have flashed as the other
did, but would have exploded. Not a
maa la the turret would have been
left alive; whatever other damage
might have been done. That man gave
his life for the others.
"I am told President Roosevelt has
inquired about a man that gave his
life in closing the shutter from the'
ammunition room to save the ship
from blowing up. I would be very
wrong to have a story like that go
out, because I cannot find that there
is any foundation for it. or need for
a man to make any attempt to do any
thing of the sort. But if the president
wants heroism let him look up this
brave man who stood by his gun to
save the rest."

old sweetheart of Fred H. Magill, was

"Oh. Fred, why did you do this."

revived by the use of powerful anti
dotes. Later in the night, when she
had partially shaken off the effect of

Fay caused this."
