Captain Sigsbee, commander of the Maine, was ordered to Havana har- bor to protect American lives and property during the crisis of the Cu- ban rebellion against Spain in 1898. As the vessel was on a friendly mis- sion, she was received with the cus- tomary courtesies from the forts and Spanish warships, and the usual offi- cial visite, She was assigned to a special anchorage and placed there by the proper agents of the Spanish gov- ernment, On the eventyg of February 15, the big white battleship had been riding quietly at anchor for more than two weeks. Captain Sigsbeo went to his cabin shortly after 8 o'clock and wrote a long letter to his wife. By the time he had finished many of the 828 mén and 26 officers were asleep. ‘The captain had just enclosed the letter jn an envelope and started to seal it when a deafening roar sounded through the ship. Tho great vessel began to list. Groping his way through the dark, Sigsbee reached the deck. A scene of horror greeted him. The Maine was sinking. “None can ever know,” he said later, “the awful consternation, des- pair and suffering down in the for- ward compartments; of men wounded, or drowning in the swrling water, or confined in a closed compartment slowly filling with water, It is com- forting to believe, and it is probably true, also, that most of those who were lost wore killed instantly.” ‘The tragedy cost the lives of 264 sailors, The news spread over the} world in a few hours, but not before the entire American nation was aroused to a pitch of frenzy, believing the Maine had been blown up by hos tile Spaniards. “suspend judgment,” urged Sigs- bee in his first report. His calm wis- dom did much to prevent the United States from rushing into war tmme- diately. He accompanied the court of inquiry in its investigation of the wreck, and his expert knowledge helped it to arrive at a decision as to the cause of the disaster. “The question has been asked many he was out riding. His death e will be burried in Arlington times,” sald-the-Admital years after the tradgedy, “whether I believed then that the Maine was blown up from the outside. My answer has been that my first order on reaching the deck was to post sentries to repel boarders,” Admiral Sigsbes added fresh taurels to his fame in the war that soon fol- lowed the disaster, As commander of the St. Paul, a trans-Atlantic liner converted into an auxiliary cruster, he captured the Spanish collier Restor- mel, carrying coal to Cervera, and thus sealed the fate of the Spanish fleet at Santiago.

Maughan, en route from New York to San Francisco on a jawn-to-dusk airplane flight, anded on the Cheyenne air mail field at o'clock this after noon (mountain time), with his motor aking oil so badly that he was al- most overcome by the fumes of burn- ng oil. Despite his sickness, how- ever he made a perfect landing after circling the field three times. lechan- ics immediately began feverishly wor! to repair the leak but at 3 o'cloc! could not state how much longer the work would take. Mau ghan meanwhile reclined on a canvas ar the machine, suffering from nausea, but arose at times to make suggestions regarding repairs to his ship. Mechanics expressed the hope that the repairs could be completed by 8.30 o'clock. On landing here Maughan had com- pleted 1,680 miles of his flight, the distanee he had covered being — 100 miles less than two thirds of the dis- tance from New York to San ‘Frat: cisco. The air route digtance from Cheyenne to San Francisco is 890 miles. Maughan’s average speed from New York to Cheyenne, without deduct ing time for stops was 135.6 miles an hour. Maughan reported that an oll leak developed in his motor when he was about ninety mputes out from Cheyenne and that fines from this nauseated him, Him nausea became so acute after he landed that he lay down on a canvas spread near his machine. Mechanics began feverishly working to repair the oll leak, which is sald to be serious, Maughan sald he circled the field three times before landing because his speed on the first two circles was too great for a landing to be made safely. As he stepped from his machine, Maughan said: “T think it is all over. There is something the matter with the ol! At 3:15 ofclook the soldering of the leak, which was in the oll cooling system, was progressing rapidly and Maughan said he would continue his flight.
