NAVAL MYSTERIES.

Have Disappeared.
Curious disappearances and accident*
to our war.-hipe characterized the early
hi gory of our navy, and In spite of nil the
LOT I efforts of tb.' navy deportment to explain
i trie e.-uise of ihe disasters many of them
sre as absolute n:ystories '??dar as when
if they ha; pened.

dinary accident was thr-.t
Mononga
ita Cruz in 1807.
While at a! .'nor in the harbor a tremen?
dous tidal wave lifted her upon its crest
and carried her clean over tho town of
again without
.. the boat to any gr< tit
Ihib I extent. Tin receding wavo landed lier tin
this ? the beach instead of in the deep water of
Nc I the harbor, and it cost our government
ml her again. Fully as
strange was the fate of thu sloop-of-wnr
tvern I Wnturce. Sim was anchored in the harbor
lone! of Arien, 1'eru, in IStiS, when a hugu ti?
the dal wave swept ink.ml and liooded the
jverf ' whole r.ty 'i he wave carried tho sloop
several miles inland and liluilly hiedu-l
her in the midst of 11 tropical lorot. It
was impossible to release her from such a
pcculial position, and t he government sold
h.-r for a nominal sum. Tho purchasers
turned tho vessel into a hotel, and the re?
mains of that once formidable war vessel
loom up in tho tropical forest today as u
monument to the power of tidal waves.
Among other ruses of disaster which uro
attributed to t ho -, iolt.nco of the waves or
weather there is none more interesting
than that of the strange fate of the Sara?
toga. When s'.-.o sailed from Philadelphia
in October, ITso. under the command of
Captain James Young, there was no liner
or handsomer war viesel nlloat. That
the was as formidable, as she was nt tract?
ive w-is soon demonstrated in a practical
way. After emitting around a short time
she enptured three british vessels in suc?
cession, ami then, witli her prizes, she
Sturmi to return to Philadelphia, but. oil
the Delaware rapes she enroiintercd it
British sliip of the line. As tlin Saratoga
carried only is "tins i\u. Intrepid Wim
a 71 gun ship, Captain Y./ung considered
it safer to run away. The enemy did not
chase her far, but returned to protect ami
recapture the British prizes. The Suru
tcga sailed away in the very teeth of a
storm, and she was never heard from
again. Did she founder at sea in t tie
gale, or was she blown up by her own
mtgarlncs-?Leslie's Weekly.
