FIC11TING DICK REAL hERO

Contemporary naval annals are now threatened -
ened with a "Fighting Dick , " in addition tea
a "Fighting Bob , " and surety4 crowned with
the Iowa's newly won laurels , Captain Evans
would not grudge this zneed of glory to his
junior in the line ,
So hero's to "Fighting Dick" Wainwright ,
and may he , too , soon be a captaint
"Mark my words , it Dick Wainweight over
gets to close qunriers with a Spanish ship
there'll be a fight to the flnlsh and , sink or
swim , Wainwright will make a name for
himself that will live as long as There Is a
navy , "
The prediction was made only three
months ago by a naval officer in Key West ,
relates the Now' York Herald , It. was von-
fled Sunday morning , July 3 , off Santiago.
From that awful moment on the night of
February 15 , when Wainwrlght stood beside
lila captain on the sinking quarterdeck of the
Maine and gave time order to lower away the
boats , lie has looked forward to some such
opportunity as timat which has now linked
his name with the Gloucester as lndiasoiubiy
as hiobson's is linked with the Mennimac.
Not that Watnwrigbt is a man to brood on
vengeance , lie has a heart too big to cherish
malice. Only his dearest desire was that he
might have the good fortune to be an lustru-
meRit of retaliation.
No maim knew hetter than he the ghastly
horrors that followed that night in Havana
harbor , No man was more certain than lmo
that the Maine disaster was not an aci-
dent and none was better qualified to reach
a itist conclusion. During all the long weeka
following the disaxter it was Walnwright
who tolled beside the wreck anti above it ,
from dawn till dark , directing the divers'
work , recovering the bodies of time dead ,
familiar with every development of evidence ,
the confidant of avery grim secret brought to
light by time submarine research.
April C , long after Captain Sigsbeo and alt
his other subordinates bad been relieved of
their painful task , Wainwrigbt , the solo surviving -
viving omcer of the Maine left in Havana
harbor , pulled down the weather-stained
flag that had floated day and night from the
shnouds of the wrecked battleship. When
% Valnwriglmt left Havana the United Staten
governmneat relinquished its sovereignty
over the Maine.
A Friendly Greeting.
It was on that night that I listened to the
prophetic prediction quoted above. I sat
alone on the porch of the Key West hotel
smoking. It was Into. A tall figure , clad
in a plain suit of citizen's clothes and topped -
pod oft with a slouch bat , stepped nimbly
up the hotel steps , and beneath the shadow
of the slouch hat. I recognized the rugged
lace of Lieutenant Commander Watnwright.
I had known .htrn well during all that last
critical eried in Havana and had left the
Cuban capital myself only five days before.
As I sprang forward to greet him he laid
ml. finger across his lips as he closed about
my hand with his iron grip.

merriment. I am at prcent grosiy vie-

Wainwnight bad been summoned to Wash-
thgtoa for staff duty tu thu Navy depart-
meat. He did not like it. "Vhat. do you
want to do' ? " asked a fellow officer.Vain -
wright's reply was characteristic.
"l am couvtnced that thin business means

only , I know I can't expect a separate corn-
mend of great Importance , but I'd like to
get a good little vessel with some capable
guns , and then I'd like to get a crack at the

'rho personality of the man who , with his
battery of little six-pounders , braved the
fire of Spain's dreaded destroyers , and sent
the Pluton and the Furor ashore ablaze
and riddled , is of more than pnsslag inter-
cst. Wainwright is a sailor to the core.
Six feet tail or more , but a trifle too lean
to look athletic , he is , nevertheless , as hard
lie is of those men
as a keg of nails. one
whose anatomy seems nil brains nod bone
and sinew. Still on the junior side of mid-
tile life , he Is old enough to have a lace
that impresses one as serious , until the
keen blue eyes light up with merriment or ,
It may be , with scorn.
As I saw him day by day over the shattered -
tered hulk of his ship , his lean , hollow-
checked face was usually grave and sometimes -
times stern. Ills skin was bronzed to the
color of leather by exposure to the tropical
sun. He always wore a weather-beaten undress -
dress naval coat , much the worse for wear ,
Indeed , imo had no other loft from the
wreck than time one he had on his hack.

Captain Sigabee betrayed no secret when
lie said last Tuesday , speaking of his late

vindictive about the Maine disaster and
was always longing for a chance to get at
the Spanish. I used to laugh at his beili-
costLy , it was no extreme. It was not the
kind , however , which expends itself wholly
in talk. "
Mr.Vniawright was in Havana imarbor
continuously for soveim weeks after the
Maine was blown up. During all that time
ho was never known to set his toot in
hlovamma city. "I don't care about shore
leave. " ho used to say 'when his friends

seemed to clinch the truth about the Maine.
Wainwright was not unsoeiabl. It was
not that. Such a fault surely cannot be
charged to an officer who Is familiarly
known to nil his comrades ot time line as
"Dick. " Ihut Wainwright had important
business on hand. lie was storing up that
stock of accumulated wrath that leaped last
Sunday from the lips of his rapid-fire guns

This taciturn lietmtennnt commander ,

Spiinisim Arrogance.
On the morning after the Maine disaster
Watnwright , who , with his captain , had
been the last to leave the ship alive the
night before , was time first to approach the
shattered wreck in the gray dawn of Feb-
mary 10Vitim a small boat's crew he bail

to see if perchance there might still bo

were acting untler the orders of Admiral
Monterois. Wainvright did not got angry.
110 never loses his head , But his taco wore
than same grin : , set expression that it
wore afterward whemi he described the incident -
cident to the members of the court of inquiry -
quiry and followed it U with an array of
hard facts and structural evidence that.
with the possible exception of Ensign row-
cli's brilliant work , ( hid more than nay other
one factor to convince the court of damn-
lag Spanish guilt ,
I cannot help wondering , since Web-
wright remembered the Maine no well ,
whether ho remembered his little rebuff
from the sailors of Adnmirah Monteroha
when rate the other day nmntle it lila fortune -
tune to welcome into his cabin the ablest
of all Spain's admirals and receive from
him his sword in token of time surrender of
Spain's proudest fleet , Here , in truth , was
the very irony of fate.
lInt W'ainwrlgiit was a generous foe. If
he remembered Monteroha's snub he probably -
bly remembered atm weli that it wes Admiral
Cervera whose chtymmlrous courtesy first ra-
hievod a nation's mlixiety for its hero , .1-lob-
son. As llayarth Taylor has said , "The
bravest are the tenderest. " When the gray-
haired admiral oL Spain was brought , a
prisoner of war , aboard the Gloucester ,
broken in spirit and wounded In body ,
Wabnwright received him at the gangway
with outstretched hand :
"I congratulate you , sir , upon having
made as gallant a fight as was ever witnessed -
nessed on the sea. " Generous , chivalric
words , these , and I can well imagine the
cordial hand grasp that attended them and
the unstudied courtesy with which the
commander of the victorious Gloucester
turned over the privacy of lila own cabin
while thu defeated admiral was left. alone
with his grief. Wabrmwright's taciturn face
is a stranger to tears , but ho could understand -
stand the sorrow of one who weeps for
h i slaughtered comrades and his stricken
Blimp.
l'oetlc Justice.
Singularly enough , it has fallen to the
lot of the .Iaino's executive ollicer to sink
two of Spain's ' much-vaunted 'destroycrs"
and to the Maine's late captain to seriously
cripple the third. Aml who shall say there
is no such thing as poetic justice ?
Lieutenant Commander Wainwrlght has
coined one phraBo that will probably live
in traditions of the navy-"Fighting cannot -
not be made a safe business. "
The battle of time Yalu river had called
the attention of naval experts all over the
world to the terrible execution wrought by
splinters from small boats anti portions of
time superstructur of ships of war when
struck by modermm projectiles. Mr.Vnin -
wnigbt , among other olilcers , was detailed
to write a treattso discussing the fohiowing
question : "if about to go into actboti , what
disposition would you make of your small
boats with a view of securing the greatcct
safety of your men ? "
Wainwnight's reply was an able one , 'rho
pith of it , however , was mmubstantialiy con-
tamed in the following :
"If about to go into action in compara.
tively shallow water I should , if time permitted -
mitted , strip the vessel clear of imer small
boats and moor them safely at. a distance
until after dark. If pressed for time I
should simply put them adrift , I should
set my boats adrift anyhow , leaving the
ship and her olilccrs end crew to take the
chances of vur , Fighting cannot be made
a safe business. "
Time department has evidently adopted
Wainwnight's view , Ilotoro Sampson's fleet
sailed from Key West scores of small boats
and launches from the ships were moored
in time shallow is'nters of the harbor and
left behind , and tue few boats permitted to
ho carried on board were carefmmhiy housed
In heavy canvas and protected by splinter
netting ,
Ide. Walnwnigbt probably inherits his
fighting Instinct , lie is a son of old Corn-
modoro Wainwright and comes of goo'l
fighting stock , His appointment to the
Naval academy was from the District of
Columbia.
