EXCURSIONS
Judging from the crowds daily makiLg
their nay to Chesapeake Beach that re
sort must be rapidly growing in favor
with the excursionists of Washington
They are evidently beginning to find out
what a splendid place there is so close
at hand at which the can spend a day
or part of a day or an evening and be cool
and comfortable to say nothing of tne
various attractions to be found there for
their amusement and recreation The
salt water bathing of course is a special
feature and every- day sees hundreds
and sometimes thousands of men women
and children splashing and swimming in
the cool waters of the baj A new fea
ture which the management of the rail
way company has Just announced is a fast
week day train which leaves the Dis
trict Line Station at 5 p m and makes
the trip to the Beach in an hour no stops
whatev er being made This train has been
appropriately called the Department Lim
ited as it is very convenient for the de
partment people who leave their desks at
p m thus landing them at the Iieach
at 6 oclock where thej are allowed
plenty of time for a fine salt water bath
and a good dinner as the trains do not
return until 7 and 1J p m One of the
greatest attractions offered at the- Beach
this season Is the splendid hand concert
rendered every afternoon and evening by
Halej s full concert band personally
led bj llr Haley There Is not a finer or
better iiand in the country than the one
at the Beach a fact which is well attested
by the generous applause and earnest at
tention given the selections rendered
The large metal music shell In which the
band is stationed situated Just off the
board walk Is a great addition and
wonderfully helps to throw the sound of
the muslcover the entire Beach The
perfect order which Is maintained at this
prt is a very commendable feature
which should not be overlooked when one
is casting about for a place at which to
spend the day or evening A well trained
and thoroughly efficient of
corps uni
formed police are constantly on duty and
tho slightest infraction of the rules of
good behavior or an attempt 1 1 rowdjlsm
is instantly quelled in the most thorough
manner
There are few spots around Washington
as favored by nature for a pleasure re
sort as Marshall Hall Music is rendered

Bear Admiral R B Bradford Chief of
the Bureau of Equipment iesterda sub
mitted to the Sccrettrv of the Navy a
mlnorltv report of the Xaval Board on
Construction ndvocatlng a battery which
shall contain superposi turrets on the
two battleships for which plans are to be
submitted to Congress at its neit session
He treats at consTJerable length of the
superiority of this class of construction
and assrts that the Alabama and Maine
which have armament similar to the ma
joritv of ships have weak batteries As
for the 7 inch gun -adv ocateel b the ma
jority and embraces in its battery plan
In place of tho S inch gun he savs there
is nj such gun In existence and the cal
culations as to its po vvr are merely theo
retical
Admiral Bradforel calls attention to the
fact that Bear Admiral Melville
of the Navy who voted
with the majority of tho board agslnst i
the superposed turret had heretofore t
been a warm advocate of that turret He
also quotes a letter written a little more i
than a year ago bv Bear Admiral OXeil i
Chief of Bureau of Ordnance and I
President of tho Board on Construction
who voted with the majority for the use
of the 7 inch gun in preference to the S
Ineh and who prepar sl the boards report
stronglj advoe atlng the weapon of small
er calibre in whleh Admiral O Neil sajs
that the S inch is preferable to the 7 inch
for battleships nd the latter would be a
more suitable weapon for the superstruct
ure guns of the armored cruisers
If It was unwise to assign 7 inch guns
to battleships one j ear ago says Admi
ral Bradford in commenting on Admiral
O Nells letter it is unwise to do soj
now
As to Rear Admiral Bowles xhe Chief
Naval Constructor the third member of
the board who votml against the surper
losed turret aind fuvored 7 inch guns for
auxllaries Admiral Bradford suggests
that a corps policj of prejdd ce against
tlie superposed turret exists in the con
struction corps Attention is called to the
fact tbnt all of Admiral ONeil s prede
cessors In the Bureau of Ordnance for the
past sixteen years Admirals Sicard and
Sampson and Captain roiger were In
rvor of the suixrposed turret In conclud
ing Admiral Bradford sounds a note of
frnrTi fiii tl mn ltrtt a hlna tn trie
It superposed turret after it had been adopt
ed by a special board acting in conjunc
tion with the Board on Construction He
sajs that he isr afraid that the effect of
the majority action will be a loss of con
fidenee in the board s knowledge as to the
typo of battleship best suited for naval
purposes
The batten- advocated by Admiral
Bradford was designed by Captain Slgs
bee the Junior member of the board who
was too ill however to sign the minori
ty report This battery consists of the
usud two 12 inch turrets with two 8 inch
turrets superposed on them and four
additional S Inch turrets arranged In the
form of a quadrilateral There are In ad
dition on the main deck twelve 6 inch
rapld flre guns The entire battery con
sists of twamty eight guns dlv idee as fol
lows Four twelves twelve eights and
twelve sixes The battery of
Rear Admirals- O Nell Melville and
Bowles has no S lnch guns and no su
perposed turrets It consists of four
twelves in two turrets and twenty sevens
none protected by turrets the latter be
ing located as described by Admiral
Bradford as follows Sixteen orithe
main deck behind casemato ormorf ar
ranged largely in accordance with the
battery on -an old frigates gun deck on
the deck above at the corners of the su
perstructure are installed four more 7
Inch guns for the purpose of Increasing
the lire ahead and astern
To demonstrate the claimed superiority
of the batters urrangement of Captain
Slgsbee and himself Admiral Bradford
submits with his report a lithographic il
lustration of the batteries of hve differ
ent tvnes of Dattlesiups ana uevoies
much space to an explanation of them
One arrangement illustrated was that
adopted by a board of thirteen ollicers
Including the members of the Board on
Construction after a majority of the
Board on Construction had adopted an
other arrangement This design Included
superposed turrets the majority of the
Board on construction having voted
against them Twelve of the thirteen
otllcers signed a report recommending
that three ships with superposed turrets
and two ships with ordinary turrets be
built Another design in the illustration
was that referred to 1 committee consist
ing of the live members of the Board on
Construction and seven other members
This committee by a vote of 10 to 2 rc
endorsed the superposed turret ship pre
viously recomende d by the board of thir
teen Tlie committee Admiral Bradford
sas strongly favored the 8 lnch gun
and would not submit to a reduction in
calibre
In presenting the majority plan and
that of Captain Sigsbee and himself to
Secretary Longs attention Admiral
Bradford sajs that the absence of turret
protection and the reduction In calibre
are marked features of the majority de
sign to which otllcers have heretofore
shown a marked disapproval The Illus
trations submitted are Intended to show
by means of pink shading that to quote
Admiral Bradford the maximum broad
side lire of the 7 inch battery in the ma
jority design extends over an arc of only
tA degrees with an average muzzle ener
gy of 230ca foot tons over that arc while
in the minority s tjpc ir extenus over an
arc of W degrees with an average muzzle
energy of 2o3I71 foot tons both vessels
assumed to be engaged on one side onl
Admiral Bradford admits that the ma
jorrtjs battery is able to deliver at the
same time the urae energy of tire on both
Eldes while his battery can deliver on
both sides at tho same time but 220 530
foot tons which Is a little less than In
the case of tjpe 1 the majoritys He
claims for his battery however a great
advantage over the majoritj s in that It
delivers a maximum fire over 1GJ degrees
of arc while the latter delivers It over
only 01 degrees
It will thus be seen he aids that
tpe 5 minoritjs will still have the
advantage even while engaged on both
sides
Figures are produced by Admiral Brad
ford to show the campartive rapidity of
tire muzzle energy and weignt of metal
thrown of 8 7 and G Inch guns but he
says thit the lire of the 7 Inch gun
which Is superior to that of the S lnch
is assumed bv the Chief of the Bureau of
Ordn ince Admiral Oell for the rea
son that no 7 Inch gun exists The fig
ures show that the S lnch gun can lire
1 2 rounds a minute and the 7 lneh 25
rounds the 8 Inch gun h is a muzzle en
ergy per minute of H322 foot tons and the
7 Inch 23 0H foot tons the 8 inch throws
per minute 3W pounds of metal and the
7 Inch 4125 pounds The 6 Inch gun which
is provided for in Admiral Bradfords bat
tery fires IS rounds has a muzzle energj
of 20133 foot tons and throws 350 pounds
of metal in one minute
Attention is called to the greatly su
perior tactical advantages of the min
oritys battery the illustration clearly
showing that this type of ship can be
fought advantageously in any formation

in vhicu attention as called to the fact
that there is no such weapon Admiral
B adloiel then takes up the Important
eiuestlon of suprrp3sel turrets He In
vites attention to the ret that Admiral
O Nll vott for the armament Including
guns In superposed turrets adopted for
the nvo battleships of the Virginia class
anJ io the opinion of the orflctrs of the
Ktars irgand the Kentucky which have
superposed turrets in favor of that tvpe
lhe unfavorable criticisms of the su
perposed turret are thus far purely the
oretical sajs Admiral Bradford In
practice they have fullllled every expec
tation of their advocates
the installation of the twenty 7 Inch
guns of the maJuriljV batten lhlnd
cist incuts and separated by splinter bulk
heads Is criticised as being directly at va
riance with the present system abroad
Attention Is calleel to the crowded condi
tion of the guns on the main de c of the
majoritv s ship aiid the probable effect
ot a 12 inch melinite or lvddite shell ex
ploding anjwhere in the Vicinity of the
guns
Admiral Bradford Concurs with tho ma
Jorltj as to the general tpe of ship rec
ommended In conclusion he sajs
The armament of tho ships of the Vir
ginia class was assigned only after the
most careful corsideratlon and discussion
by many of the ablest ollicers of the
n ivy 1 consider it verj unfortunate that
the majurityof the Board on Construction
should now recommend an armament for
additional battleships so different in cali
bre and so differently disposed protected
and mounted Tho natural effect will bo
a loss of confidence in the knowledge of
the board as to the tvpe of battleship best
suited for naval purposes
I therefore recommend the most care
ful consideration of the subject by the
Ixst authorities the department Is able to
command

saddled up his mnles and with two can
teens of water started out alone
When he got down Into the valley he
lest the trail but kept traveling all that
day and the following nighL Some time
the next morning when the sun got
pretty hot and he became almost ex
hausted he stopped to make some coffee
having still one canteen of water IefL He
was holding his mules by the bridle when
along came a desert whirlwind and envel
oped them frightening the mule which
dragged him through a cactus plant and
breaking away from him started back
over the trail He followed the mule for
a couple of miles then gave up the chase
and again started toward the Virgin Riv
er on foot and without water or anything
else save an unquenched thirst
Just now long he wandered he does not
know but before night he began to get
derillous and after that he remembered
nothing except the hallucinations that
passed through his mind before he became
unconscious He was oh so thirsty It
seemed as If his throat was literally on
fire and he was aching alUover his body
He tried every method he knew of mois
tening his throat but the relief was but
temporary He tore open the cactus
plants and everything that gave promise
of containing the slightestbit of moist
ure but his thirst seemed to be an ever
increasing one He could think of noth
ing but water
1 mally as his strength gave way pleas
ant dreams began to lilt through his
mind iie fancied he saw the Niagara
Falls and the vastness of the great river
that flows over the rapids below
them Then he seemed to face the broad
expanse of a great fresh water lake He
could not see across it It looked so cool
and refreshing he could not restrain him
self and waded into it clear uu to his
neck Then he fancied he could feel the
fish cavorting about his feet and every
thing seemed so peaceful He was perfectly-
happy and contented did not know
whether he was alive or dead and did not
care
Ab jut a week later when he recovered
consciousness he found himself in the
camp of some cattlemen who had found
him some hours after he lost track of
himself His lips were swollen and full
of cactus thorns where he had chewed up
the prickly pear In hlsr desperate thirst
The cattlemen said that when they found
him he was stark naked doubtless having
dered from Baltimore to Fort McHenry disrobed and thrown his clothes away
Md whn hp funded he was iroinir down Into

AWFUL DESEBT THIBST
of n Man vVlio experi
enced Deaths Horrors
J A Porterlc Is probably the only man
In Phoenix who ever perisheel on the des
ert and after being practically dead fora
week returned to life and vigor so he
could tell about It He sajs that he has
fully realized every sensation of a man
who perishes of thirst with the burning
sunshine beating down on him He was
found and resuscitated but he had long
passed bejonl the period of consciousness
bfore help came
It was In th summer of 1S77 and Mr
Porterie was working at the Grand Gulch
copper mine on Grand Wash as It 13 now
called north of the Colorado on the Supal
plateau In the northwestern part of this
territory
The mines are being worked by a Mor
mon company from St George Utah The
could not get the proper fluxes
for Its ore and therefore did not make a
success of the enterprise It closed down
the mine and all who were emplojed there
wanted to go back to Utah except Mr
Porterie who desired t come south into
central Arizona He knew there was a
good road down the Virgin River and to
Mineral Park but It was some distance
west of Grand Wash and over a desert
country he had never traversed and was
the lake His rragcrs were raw and bleed
ing from wounds made while digging In
the sand for water-
He ays that the agony that comes over
one when he first begins to realize that he
is about to perish for water is simply in
describable and it increases everj min
ute till he begins to lose consciousness
But when tlie body gives up the struggles
the mind seems to become unnaturallj ac
tive in Its efforts to soothe by seemingly
furnishing that for which the body suf
fers and the final hours of the thirst vic
tim are hours of sweetest anticipation
