AN INCIDENT OF THE BATTLE.
The Nebraska Sanitarium.
Ono incident, which I huvo already
tnontionod briefly in my dispatches, in
worthy of moro oxtondod repetition, ub
illuHtratinK tho toolings of tho onllstod
tnon for tho commandor-in-chief, Com
modoro Dowoy, wliilo walkinir buck and
forth on tho starboard sido of tho uppor
dock, noticod thnt ono of tho potty olll
cors u man whoso dutieH (.id not call
for ilia proponco therewas making a
protonBO of finding something to do on
tho port flido, but was also keeping u,
caroful lookout on tho commodore.
This man's record of nourly forty years
of Borvico in tho navy and army of tho
United States hus caused him to h.o ro
gardod with Bpocial interest by tho olll
cors of tho Olympia, and ho was, to a
cortain e.xtont. a privileged charactor.
So tho commodore, being familiar with
tho manners of seamen, and Boeing that
tho old mnn hnd something on liis mind,
said to him:
"Well, Purdy.whatisit?"
"I hope, sir," replied Purdy, straight
oning up and saluting, "yo don't intend
to light on tho .'id of May."
"And why not?"
"Well, yo boo, sir," said Purdy, with
tho moBt BonoiiB air popsihle, "tho last
time I fought on tho 3d of May I got
licked." And then ho wont on to tell
of tho ill-fatod day of ChancollorBvillc,
when ho had carried a gun in tho army,
and had gono to defeat under "Fighting
Joo" Hooker.
"All right, Purd," said tho commo
dmo, "wo won't light on tho ,'id of May
this time; but when wo do light, Purdy,
ho continued, with an air of friendly
coniidonce, "you'll have a different kind
of a May anniversary to think about
Remember that; Purdy."
"Ay, ay, sir," replied Purdy, ub ho
Buluted .and e culled off. And a littlo
whilo lator I hoard him telling a group
of' tho other L-YuejlfckotiTthat "Wotfl lick
holt out u' tho Spaniards if thoro was
ton timos aB many of thorn !'' And prob
acy to this day Purdy beliovos that i
wii9 duo to Iub timoly hint that Dowoy
wont into Manila bay at ouco, bo as t
avoid tho "hoodoo" that waa hanging
ovor May 3. From "With Dowoy at
Manilla," by Josiph L. Stickaoy in Har
