The upp. arance early o:i a summer
morning of a large liritish cruiser tiff
the mouth of the harbor tilled those two
commanders with uncontrollable bellig
erency. That ia time of war a vessel of
tho enemy should be allowed, uauis
turbed, to sail up and down before an
American har'.tor, while an American
vessel tilled with brave American sailors
lay inside like a cowed dog, was a
thought which goaded the soul of each
< I these commander- There was a cer
tain rivalry between tho two ships, and
considering the insult oilered by tho
Haunting red cross in the oiling, and the
humiliating restri-tinns imposed by the
naval dep..;. -aunt, »ueh commander
thought only of his own ship, and not
at all of tho other.
It was almost at tho same timo that
tho commanders of the two ships sepa
rately came to the conclusion that the
proper way to protect tho fiect behind
the breakwater v. for his vessel to
bul lly steam out to sea and attack the
British cruiser. If this vessel carried a
long rango gun, what was to hinder licr
from suddenly running in closer and
sending a few shells into the midst of
the defenseless morcliantmen? In fact,
to go out ami figlit her was tho only way
to protect tho lives and property in tho
harbor.
It was true that ono of tlioso beastly
repcllors was sneaking about oil tho
cape, accompanied, probably, by an
under water tongs boat. But as neither
of these had dono anything or seemed
likely to do anything, tho British cruiser
should he attacked without loss of time.
When tho commander of tho Lenox
qpno to this decision, his ship was well
abreast of Capo Ilcnlopcn, and ho there
fore proceeded directly out to sea. There
was a little fear in liis mind that the
English cruiser, which was now bearing
to the southeast, might sail off and get
away from him. Tho Stockbridgo was
detained by tho arrival of a dispatch
boat from tho shore with a mcssago from
tho naval department. But as this mcs
sago related only to tho measurements of
a certain deck gun, her commander in
tended as soon as on answer could bo
sent off, to sail out and give battle to tlie
British vessel.
Every soul on board the Lenox was
now filled with fiery ardor. The ship
was already in good fighting trim, but
every possible preparation was made for
a contest which should show their coun
try and the world what American sailors
were mado of.
Tho Lenox had not proceeded more
than a miio out to sea when she per
ceived Repeller No. 6 coming toward her
from seaward, and in a direction which
indicated that it intended to run across
her course. Tho Lenox, however, went
straight on, and in a short timo the two
vessels wero quite near each other. Upon
the deck of tho repeller now appeared
the director in charge, who, with a
speaking trumoet, hailed the Lenox and
requested her to lay to, as he lLad some
thing to communicate. The commander
of the Lenox, through his trumpet, an-
cwered that he wanted no communica-
tions, and advised the other vessel to
keep out of his way.
The Lenox now put on a greater head
of steam, and as slio was in any case a
much faster vessel than tho repeller, she
mpidly increased the distance between
herself and the syndicate's vessel, so that
in a few moments ladling was impossible.
Quick signals now shot up in jets of black
smoke from the repeller, and in u very
short time afterward the speed of the
IswriactawJ so much that the repel
ler was able to come up with her.
When the two vessels were abreast of
each other, and at a safe hailing distance
apart, another signal went up from the
repeller, and then both vessels almost
ceased to move through the water, al
though the engines of the Lenox were
working at high speed, with her propel
ler blades stirring up a whirlpool at her
stern.
. For a minute or two the officers of the
Lenox could not comprehend what had
happened. It was first supposed that by
mistake the engines had teen slackened,
bat almost at the same moment that it
was found that this was not the case, the
discovery was nuA that tho crab ac
companying the repeller had laid hold of
the stern post of the Lenox, and with all
the strength of her powerful engines was
holding iter back.
Now burst forth in the Lenox a storm
of frenzied rage, suchegs was never seen
perhaps upon any vessel since vessels
were first built. From tho commander
to tho stokers every heart was filled with
fury at the insult which was put upon
them. Tho commander roared through
his trumpet that if that infernal sea
beetle were not immediately loosed from
his ship he would first sink her and then
tho repeller.
To these remarks the director of the'
syndicate's vessels paid no attention, but
proceeded to State as briefly and forcibly
as possible that the Lenox had teen de
tained in order that he might have an
opportunity of speaking with her com
mander, and Of *"f"miing him that his
action in coming out of the harbor for
the purpose of attacking a British vessel,
was in direct violation of the contract
between the United States and tho syn
dicate having charge of the war, and
that such action could not be allowed.
The commander of tho Lenox paid no
moro attention to these words than the
Syndicate's director had given to those
he luul spoken, but immediately com
menced a violent attack upon tho crab.
It was impossible to bring any of the
largo guns to tear upon her, for she was
almost under the stern of the Lenox, but
every means of offense which infuriated
ingenuity could suggest was used against
it. Machine guns were trained to fire
almost perpendicularly, and shot after
shot was poured upon that portion of its
glistening back which appeared above
tho water.
But as these projectiles seemed to have
no effect upon the solid back of Crab H,
two great anvils wero hoisted at tho end
of tho spanker boom and dropped, one
after the other, upon it. Tho shocks
were tremendous, but the internal con- '■
struct ion of the crabs provided, by;
means of upright beams, against injury
from attacks of this kind, and tho great
musses of iron slid off into tho sea with- j
out doing any damage.
Finding it impossible to make any im- j
pression upon the mailed moustcr at his ,
stern, the commander of tho Lenox'
hailed tho director of tho repeller. and '
swore to him through his trumpet tliat
if he did not immediately order tht
L-'nox to bo set free, her heaviest guns
should be brought to bear upon bis float
ing counting house, and tliat it should be
sunk if it took all day to do it.
It would have been a grim satisfaction
to the commander of tho Lenox to sink
Repeller No. (i, for lie knew the vessel
when she had belonged to the United
States navy. Before she had teen
bought by tho syndicate, and fitted out
with spring armor, ho luul made twe
long cruises in her, and ho bitterly liated
her, from her keel up.
ITio director of the repeller agreed tc
release the Lenox the instant her com
mander Nvou Id consent to return to port.
No answer was made to this proposition,
but a dynamite gun on tho Lenox was '
brought to tear upon the syndicate's ves
aeL Desiring to a\ oid any complications 1
which might ensue from' actions of this '
•act. the repeller steamed ahea<J, while 1
the director < "rah II to move the
stern of the I* :iox to the windward,
which, being quickly done, the pun ol
the latter lu re upon t!io distant coast.
It was now very plain to the syndicate
director that Ids' words could have nc
elTcct upon tho commander of tlic
Lenox, and he therefore signaled Cral
II to tow the United States vessel intc
jort. When the commander of the
Lenox saw that his vessel was beginning
to movo backward ho gave instant
orders to put on all steam. Cut this
was found to IKJ unless, for when the
dynamite gun was alx.ut to be fired the
engines had I>ooll ordered stopped, and
tho moment that the propeller blades
ceased moving the nippers of tho cral
had been released from their hold upon
the stern post, and the propeller blades
of tho Lenox were gently but firmly
seized in a grasp which included the
rudder. It was therefore impossible foi
tho engines of the vessel to revolve the
propeller, and, unresistingly, the Lenox
was towed, stern foremost, to tho break
water.
The news of this incident created the
wildest indignation in tho United States
navy, and throughout the country the
condemnation of what was considered
the insulting action of tho syndicate was
general. In foreign countries the affair
was tho subject of a good deal of com
ment, but it was also tho occasion of
much serious consideration, for it proved
that one of the syndicate's submerged
vessels could, without firing a gun, and
without fear of injury to itself, capture
a man-of-war and tow it whither it
pleased.
Tho authorities at Washington took
instant action on tho affair, and as it was
quite evident that tho contract between
tbe United States and the syndicate bad
been violated by tho Lenox, the com
mander of that vessel was reprimanded
by the secretary of tho navy, and en
joined that there should bo no repetitions
of his ollenco. Cut as the commander of
the Lenox knew that the secretary of the
navy was as angry as ho was at wliat
had happened, ho did not feel his repri
mand to be in any way a disgrace.
It may IKS stated that the Stockbridgo,
which had steamed for the open sea as
soon as the business which had detained
her was completed, did uot go outside
tho cape. When her officers perceived
with their glasses that tho Lenox was
reluming to port stem foremost they
opined what had happened, and desiring
that their ship should do all her sailing
in tho natural way, tho Stockbridgo was
put about and 6toamed, bow foremost,
to her anchorage behind the breakwater,
the commander thanking his stars that
for once the Lenox had got ahead of
him.
The members of tho syndicate were
very anxious to remove the unfavorable
impression regarding what was called in
many quarters their attack upon a
U uitcd States vessel, and a circular to
the public was issued, in which they ex
pressed their deep regret at lieing obliged
to interfere with so many bravo officers
and men in a moment of patriotic en
thusiasm, and explaining how absolutely
necessary it was that the Lenox should
be removed from a position where a con
flict with English line of battle ships
would be probable. There were many
thinking persons who saw the weight of
the syndicate's statements, but tho effect
of the circular upon the popular mind
was not great.
The syndicate was now hard at work
making preparations for the grand stroke
which had been determined upon. In
tho whole country, there was scarcely a
man whose ability could be made avail
able in their work, who was not engaged
in their service; and everywhere, in
foundries, workshops and ship yards, the
construction of their engines of war was
being carried on by day and by night.
No contracts were made for the delivery
of work at ceVtain times; everything was
done under the direct supervision of the
syndicate and its subordinates; and the
work went on with a definiteness and
rapidity hitherto unknown in naval con
struction.
In tlio midst of the syndicate's labors
-there arrived off the coast of Canada the
first result of Great Britain's prepara
tions for her war with tho American
syndicate, in tho shape of tlio Adamant,
the largest and finest ironclad which liad
ever'crossed the Atlantic, and which
had teen sent to raise the blockade of
the Canadian port by the syndicate's
vessels.
This great ship had teen especially
fitted out to engago in combat with rc
pellers and crabs. As far as was possi
ble the peculiar construction of the syn
dicate's vessels liad teen carefully stud
ied, and English specialists in the line of
naval construction and ordnance had
given most earnest consideration to
methods of attack and defense most
likely to sucseed with these novel ships
of war. The Adamant was the only
vessel which it had been possible to send
out in so short a time, and her cruise
was somewhat of an experiment. If she
should bo successful in raising the block
ade of the Canadian port, tho British
admiralty would have but little difficulty
in dealing with the American syndicate.
The most important object was to pro
vide a defense against the screw ex
tracting and rudder breaking crabs; and
to this end the Adamant had been fitted
with what was termed a "stern jacket."
This was a great cage of heavy steel
bars, which was attached to the stern of
tho vessel in such a way that it could
bo raised high above tho water, so as to
offer no impediment whilo under way,
and which, in time of action, could be
let down so as to surround and protect
the rudder and screw propellers, of
which tho Adamant had two.
This was considered ah adequate de
fense against the nippers of a syndicate
crab; but as a means of offense against
these almost submerged vessels a novel
contrivance had teen adopted. From a
great boom projecting over tho stern, a
large ship's cannon was suspended per
pendicularly, muzzle downward. This
gun could be swung around to the deck,
hoisted into a horizontal position, loaded
with a heavy charge, a wooden plug
keeping the load in position when the
gun hung perpendicularly.
If a crab should come under tho stern
this cannon could bo fired directly down
ward upon her back, and it was not be
lieved that any vessel of the kind could
stand many such tremendous shocks. It
was not known exactly how ventilation
was supplied to the submarine vessels of
the syndicate, nor how the occupants
were enabled to make the necessary ob
servations during action. When under
way tho crabs sailed somewhat elevated
above the water, but when engaged with
an enemy only a small portion of their
covering armor could be seen.
It was surmised that under and be
tween some of the scales of this armor
there was some arrangement of thick
glasses, through which the necessary ob
servation could bo made; and it was be
lieved that, even if the heavy perpen
dicular shots did not crush in the roof of
a crab, these glasses would be shattered
by concussion. Although this might ap
pear a matter of slight importance, it
was thought among naval officers it
would necessitate tho withdrawal of a
crab from action.
1 In consequence of the Idea that the
crabs were vulnerable between their
overlapping plates, some of the Ada
mant's boats were fitted out with Gat
| ling and machine guns, by which a
shower of balls might be sent under the
scales, through the glasses and into the
body of the crab. In addition to their
guns, theso boats would be supplied with
other means of attack upon the crab.
Of course it would be impossible to
destroy tlicse submerged enemies by
means of dynamite or torpedoes; for
with two vessels in close proximity, the
explosion of a torpedo would be as dan
gerous to the hull of one as to the other.
Tne British admiralty would not allow
even tho Adamant to explode torpedoes
or dynamite bombs under her own stern.
With regard to a repeller, or spring
armored vessel, tho Adamant would rely
upon her exceptionally powerful arma
ment and ujion her great weight and
speed. She was fitted with twin screws
and engines of tho highest power, and
u was oeiieVed that she w.>uM IK.- able to I
overhaul, ram and crush the largest 1
vessel, armored or unarmnred, which
| tho s\ .'ida ate would be able to bring
against her. Some of her guns were of
. immen e caliber, firing slit weighing
i neatly 2,f 'K> | -mids and requiring half

THURSTON COUNT! ABSTRACT.
Odd Fellows 4 Building, Washington At.
A I Y Abstract, and sn experience of more than
it I twenty years in searching the records o r
Thurston county in regard to title euables me to
give prompt attention in regard to same.
1 have a complete and the only abstract of the
Records of the Probate Court of said county, pre
pared during the eight years that J was Judge
of said Court.
I have tlie only abstract that was ever at
tempted to be made of sales of property for taxes
iu said county.
1 negotiate loans for those wishing to borrow
or lend unreal estate security. (In the matter
of loans, I represent only such local capitalists
as are my clients.)
1 hare for many years represented, and atrthis
time represent, as agent of residents and nou-ren
dents, a large holding of real estate in the city of
! Olympia, and in Thurston county, for the sale of
; which negotiations can be made through me.
1 also have upou sale, for fixed prices, a large
amount of real estate, both city aud country,
which I ain ready to show up on rail.
1 am ready and equipped by the labor and ex
perience of more thau twenty years for the trans
action of a general real estate business, iu which
line I respectfully offer my services to those who
desire, either to purchase or sell, to borrow or
loan.
To those who think of investing, I have no
hesitation in Maying that niouey put into real
eatate in Olvmpia and Thurston county nt this
time would be a good inveatmeut.
To those who wiah to sell, 1 have to nay that
my connections la this line of business will en
able me to find purchasers for their property
among the many strangers constantly coming
and going through the country in search o
chances for investment, who would otherwise
know nothiug of the op|>ortunity.
I have a large amount of city property, both
improved and unimproved for sale. Also, some
very desirable farms.
