I
The cities stared to sea. They lie
| tened fur .strands from the sea. That
I serving ocean that had made them
! rich and great had become suddenly
terrible, a secret place where there
brooded wrath. Every day great mul
I tltudes, stirred by helpless, vague im
I pulse, moved toward the water fronts
and gazed down the harbors. Every
rumble of blasts or heavy vehicle, ev
ery sudden great noise startled' the
cities into a quick: "Listen! Cannons!"
"Where is the fleet?" The question
ran from Maine to Florida, ti.l It, too,
became one great clamor, storming at
the White House. Again there was no
answer.
Pays before, the American fleet had
steamed out of the eastern end of
Long Island sound. The tall, gray
Dreadnoughts and armored cruisers,
each with its circling, savage brood of
destroyers; light cruisers, torpedo
boats, seagoing submarines, hospital
ships, auxiliaries and colliers, one by
one they had passed into the open sea
and vanished.
But though no man knew where it
was, from its unknown place it spoke
by wireless to Washington, and
through Washington to the nation.
I* rom "somewhere between the Vir
ginia capes and the northern end of
the Bahama islands'' where It lay, it
had sent out Its feelers across the soa
toward the oncoming foe—ewift gray
feelers whose tall skeleton fire control
tops were white with watching sailors.
And so, presently, between tha enemy
and the American coast there lay a line
of relays to catch the news and pass
it on. to the nation and its fleet
CHAPTER II.

Fleet.

Ports were so far within all the pro
tective cordons that the American

could not even sight their masts
The enemy fleet scarcely made an
ttempt to attack the spying vessels.
It seemed almost that the enormous
mass was too insolently sure of Its
power to trouble about the eeoutw.
' with "'itching cruisers and de
stroyers hanging to its sides day and

80(1 tn waiting nation went the
the,fnr sea· Tlle American
millions knew the progress of the com
in·; enemy as if the fleet were an army
moving along a populous highway of
the land
The nation watched the Implacable,
jemorseless advance breathlessly, ap
prehensively, but behind its apprehen
sion tiiere was hope. "Surely, surely,"
men said to each other, "our splendid
sailors will get at them!"
Accustomed by its history to expect
thrilling deeds of dash and enterprise
that should wrest success out of disas
ter, the United States waited for the
deed.
It came. Out of the far Atlantic
came the story. It came from the bat
tleship Kearsarge and went to the
Chester, it was passed on by the Ches
ter and picked up by the Tacoma, and
the Tacoma tossed it loto the air and
"Engaged," said the Kearsarge,
"have—sunk," and thou there came a
break In the message. "Destroyer—
light—cruiser"— spoke the wireless
again, and stopped. "Armored—cruis
er," spoke the wireless again In half
an hour. "I'urt—beam—disaliied—with
drawing — pjv-Dreadnought — abaft —
starboard—beam—liriug—14,000—yards
—Dreadnought—port — beam"— Again
there came an abrupt check to the
wireless.
Tu the men 011 the fleet "somewhere
off the Virginia capes," and to the men
in newspaper offices from ocean to
ocean, It was as if they were wit
nessing the tight. Indeed, the presses
had some of it printed and on the
streets before the battleship's story
was done.
"Dreadnought" — started the wire
less again; "17.000—yards—am—struck
- after—gun—upper—turret—am struck
—forward—guu — lower — turret — dis
mounted—am struck—after—gun—low
er—turret"—
The atr fell silent. It was the last
word from the Kearsarge.
"As a man,"said the admira! thatnlght
to the correspondents who pressed him
for an interview, "I am glad that the
Kearsarge did It. As admiral I can only
say that her destruction, old though she
was, is a heavy loss to us that would
not bu balanced even if, besides the
ships she sank, she had sunk both the
Dreadnoughts. We have ordered the
fleet to keep itself intact."
"Does that mean that there are to be
no raids?"
"It cannot be done," answered the
admiral. "With sufficient machinery
heroism can <Jn groat deeds today as
ever. Without the machinery it can
only go down singing." [Certain naval
experts, basing their opinion on study
of the recent iaa<-al battles, claim that
I a difference of as little as 10 per cent In
1 efficiency between fleets otherwise ab
I solutely equal means inevitable de
i struetlon for the Inferior fleet.]
1 "The enemy transports are within «η
inmost line of gr^tt ships. At the mar
gin of their zone of fire is another
armored Une of Dreadnoughts. And the
outer cordon is at the margin of that
zone of flrc. Thus one of our raiding
ships would have to break through ut
least thirty miles, every inch of it un
der fire from half a donen ships. It
cannot be done. This enemy fleet could
be broken only by brute force. To at
tack in force with our Inferior fleet
would mean simply that we should
smash ourselves against him as un
availing! y as if we smashed ourselves
full speed ahead against a rocky coast."
"But surely at night our ships can
dash in!" insisted the public, reluctant
to give up romantic hopes. "Wait—and
sonic night you will seel"
Then tliere came a wireless relayed
from the Conynghatn, biggest and
swiftest of the Ainertean destroyer di
visions. She lia» circled the whole en
emy fleet, flying around it through
days and nights at the full speed of
her thirty knots. Her message told
why there could be no daring raids at
night.
There was no night. All the sea, ran
the t'onvngbam's tale, was lit like a
flaming city. The outer cordon played
its searchlights far toward each hori
zon. It played other lights inward, to
ward its own battleships. Aud the line
of battleships In turn, kept mighty
searchlights bow and stern steadily on
their transports.
Each transport had its guard, whose
bilght surveillance never shifted, never
wavered, from dusk to dawn. These
sentinel Dreadnoughts never turned a
searchlight to sweep the surrounding
sea. They held their transports stead
ily in the white glare.
THEIR FIFTH CAVALRY WAS BEING ASSEMBLED LIKE A PICTURE
PUZZLE.
There was not an inch of ocean
within their lines that was not ablaze.
A fragment of driftwood could not
have floated into that vivid eea with
out being detected by a hundred eyes.
But those steady, unsliifting lifti-+s
told the Conyngham the secret story
of the hidden transports. Though the
destroyer's men could not even have
sighted the tope of their masts in the
brightest light of day, they could
count the fixed light beams, distant as
they were.
In the war and navy departments
they made up estimates from the code
report. When it was done the chief
of staff nodded. "Of course our in
formation assured ue that they would
•send at least 150,000 men. Now that
we have an Idea how many transports
■étey've got, we are sure of It. And
t
tnoy are onnging vast munitions."
The Alabama, sister ship to the
Kearsnrge, by haphazard fortune got
between two enemy scouts and the
main fleet and accomplished by midden
attack what she never could have ac
complished by -speed. She sank them
within twenty minutes and returned
without injury. It was thirteen inch
guns against eight Inch, and the story
was as it always is. The inferior ene
my ships went down like pasteboard
under the Are of the turret guns on
the American vessel.
On the same day, almost at the same
hour, the scout cruiser Birmingham, at
the other end of the enemy line, sent
report that the destroyer Bainbridge, j
tiniest of the division, had driven her '
two eighteen-lnch torpedoes home and
sunk an armored cruiser that had fall
en out of line to repair some unknown
injury to Its machinery. The Bain
bridge did not tell its own story. The
little boat and her men were blasted
Into nothing within ten minutes by a
battle cruiser that had turned to pro
tect her mate.
These disasters, that might have
been appalling to a leaser sea power,
left the great navy of the coalition un
shaken. Steadily, lmperturbably, it
kept on Its way.
So there came the day when coasters
and small craft sped wildly into the
shelter of Boston and New York har
bors, Into Long Island sound and into
the Delaware and Chesapeake bays.
They had seen the enemy.
Next morning, in a gray, transparent,
peaceful April dawn, wntchprs on the
coast, gazing across the empty, flat At
lantic to the immerse half circle of the
horizon, saw innumerable tiny objects
just sticking up above the rim of the
sea. Through the glass they seemed to
be little perches of skeleton Iron built
lu the deep ocean.
Pet at beautifully precise distances
apart, they dotted the sharply outlined
edge of water and sky north and south
far beyond vision.
Innocent and quiet they appeared as
they stood there, growing slowly, very
slowly, up out of the far sen.
And the roaring presses, spouting
forth extra editions east, west, north
and south, told the United States of
Amorlca ;
"Invaders Appear Off American Coast,"
