The cruiser Isa- bella II and the destroyer Terror both hauled down their flags and surren- dered to him. Started Career At 14 The naval career of Sigshee began !when he was a boy of 14 years. Born in Albany, N. Y, in 1845, he enter- ed Annapolis in 1859 and was gradu- ated four'years later. He was as- signed to the West Gulf Bquadron, and at the age of 19 was following Admiral Farragut as an ensign through the battle of Mobile Bay. At 20 he was fighting under Porter at Fort Fisher and at 23 he had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant- commander, (Continued from First Page) Spanish war ships, and the usual of- ficlal visits, She was assigned to a special anchorage and placed there by the proper agents of the Spanish | government. | The Maine Is Blown Up On the evening of February 15 the big white battleship had been riding quietly at anchor for more than two | weeks, Captain Sigsbee 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 328 men and 26 officers were asleep. The captain had just enclosed the let- ter in an envelope and started to | seal it when a deafening roar sound- ed through the ship. The great sel began to list. Groping his | | through the dark, Sigsbee reached the deck. A scene of horror greeted him. The Maline was sinking. . Sceme of Horror “None can ever know,” he sald la- ter, “the awful scenes of consterna- tion, despair and suffering down in | the forward compartments; of men | wounded, or drowning in the swirling | water, or confined in a closed com- is comforting to believe, and it is { probably true, also, that most of thos who were lost were killed instantly. | The tragedy cost the lives of 264 sallors. The news spread over the | world in a few hours, but not before |the entire American nation was aroused to a pitch of frenzy, beliey- ing the Maine had been blown up by | hostile Spaniards. Said: “Suspend Judgment” | “Suspend judgment,” urged Sigshee | in his first report. His calm wisdom | | dia much to prevent the United States from rushing into war immediately. He accompanied the court of inquiry |in its investigation of the wreck, and . his expert knowledge helped it to ar- rive at a decision as to the cause of [ the disaster. “The question has been asked any time,” sald the Admiral years Grocer For Krueger’s New Britain, Conn. at|after the tragedy, “whether T believed | ‘Was Also An Inventor During the 33 years of peace that followed the Civil War, Sigsbee won fame and promotion as an inventor. | Among other duties through that sea bottom. Here his inventive genius came to the fore and he in- vented instruments for deep sea ex- | ploration that are used today without material change. The German gov- ernment decorated him with the Red IBagle of Prussia at the suggestion of ex-Emperor William, and he also re- ceived a gold medal at the London International Fisheries exhibition for these achievements. At the age of 68 Sigshee was pro- moted to the rank of rear admiral. He rounded out his naval career dur- ing its last decade as chief intelli- gence officer; commander of the T.eague Island navy vard; commander of the South Atlantic squadron, and as commander of the 2d division of the North Atlantic fleet, On his 62d birthday, January 16, 1907, he was placed on the retired list of rear ad- mirals.
