INCREASE eee WAR'S DEAD IN TIMES OF PEACE. Death came to the Russian Vice-Admiral Makaroff and his seven hundred men “with the satisfactions of war.” id ~On.our side of the world and the waters we have a fresh death-roll of naval men snatched by grim disaster in a period of national calm, As truly as the Russians, our men qf the Missouri died at their posts. In time of peace they .under orders, were preparing for war. They have Beca ie, just as clearly as if they had perished in actual bat tle, a part of the blood tribute demanded ever and anon by the ravager of nations. id * “Peace hath her victories.” It is unfair to accuse her of ({sasters incurred by men while employing her hours ja developing the arts of strife. But it is true that the stories of naval catastrophe belonging to days Oh which no battles raged are as long and startling as man’; great tales of actual clashing on the seas. The blowing up of the Maine stands at the head of the list of disasters in the American Navy. A product of treachery, however, and a leader-on to war, this eatastrophe belongs scarcely to the annals of pure peace, Excluding it from the accounting, ythere re- mains that since the civil war this country has lost over four hundred lives of naval men by shipwrack and ‘collision and nearly half a hundred more by accidents ‘similar to that of Tuesday on the Missouri. ‘ * * * * . Among wrecked American men-of-war, the Trenton, Vandalia and Nipsic met perhaps the most dramatic end. They were lost in the hurricane of March 16, 1889, in the harbor of Apia, Samoa, and fifty-one men perished, In the same storm Germany lost three warships and ‘nwarly @ hundred men. In 187f, Jan. 24, the United States ship Oneida was Jeent to the Lottom with 117 men, off Yokohama, through being run down by the big British passenger ship iBombay. Nov. 24, 1877, the Huron went on the rocks ‘oft Oregon Inlet, on the North Carolina coast, and nearly ‘am hundred men perished. ‘The fhodern cruiser Charleston wus lost, without loss of life, in December, 1899, on a rock off Luzon Istand." ‘in December, 1900, a typhoon destroyed the auxiliary heruiser Yosemite, at the Inland of Guam, and five men hwere lost. » Barthquakes ‘caused the loss of the Monongahela and five men at St, Croix, Nov. 18, 1867; of the Wateree and Fredonia, with twenty-eight men, at St. Thomas, Danish tWest Indies, in 1868. 5 Parallels to the Miseour! disaster, except in the ‘emailer cc#t in lives, are afforded by gun explosions on the Massachusetts, Jan. 16, 1903, nine men killed, and on the Iowa, April 9, 1903, five men killed. ‘ * * ti * * @_ Of all nations with navies Great Britain ts in posl- -tion\\to sympathize most closely with Russia in her "latest loss. . Tver as the Petropaviovsk went down in war with Aug. 29, 1782, the Royal George sank with Admiral Kempentelt and six hundred men. The Royal George Was a man-of-war of the old towering model. She was Jying-to off Spithead when a gust of wind caused her to gareen so that she filled through her port-holes, March HM, 1800, the British 110gun ship Queen Charlotte was burned off Leghorn and 678 perished out of a crew of 850. On Christmas eve, 1811, the St. George, Defense and Hero, all of the British navy, went down !n a storm off the Jutland coast and two thousand men perished. Feb. 26, 1852, the British troopship Birkenhead, en route for the Cape of Good Hope, was lost with nearly five hundred men. In 1871, Sept. 6, H. M. 8, Captain, manoeuvring near Dape Finisterre, rolled over and sank in a heavy sea, tarrying down 482 men. The disasters to the Briti#h naval service thus hastily summarized are but a few out of a long list. ‘The modern instance of the Victoria, sent to the bottom by the Camperdown, June 28, 1898, during fleet ‘Manoouvres off Tripoli, will be recalled by most readers, England learned the details of the disaster through The World. Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon perished, with twenty-two officers and 336 men. ¥ * * ” * * In collision with the Koenig Wilhelm, off Folkstone, in 1878, the German turret ship Grosser Kurfurst was destroyed, and half her crew of five hundred perished. The Span!sh cruiser Reina Regente simply vanished ina heavy storm, in March, 1895, with four hundred’men. France lost La Tribune and three hundred men off Halifax, Nov. 16, 1797. * * parti criticisms of “topheavy” construction.
