The following describes the engageâ€" mf‘nt between Chilean and Peruvian lronclads off the coast of Bolivia in From the first of the battle the emcouraging voice of Gran had come to the men in the turret through the lpeakingâ€"t u be 1879; the thick of it. and great shots struck 1116 Huascar's sides as regularly as blows of a battering ram. the orders (If the commander were no longer heard. il'he officer in charge of the turret called to his superior. ’lhere was no answer, and when Commander Elias Aguerre ran up the narrow lit- tle ladder that led to the tower, he stumbled over the dead body of his ad- miral. A shell had struck the con- ningâ€"tower. and had taken offGrau‘s head as neatly as if the decapitation had been by the guillotine. ’l'his shell Ilso killed Lieut. h‘erre, the admiral's lid. There was only time to push the porpses aside. and the new command- ing officer pulled back the tubeâ€"flap Io give his directions; but as he did )0 the Huascar staggered, keeled over, then shook in every plate, while a con- lu-ssion more terriiic than any so far told that a shell had entered the tur- rent and had burst there. When the lumes had cleared away so that a perâ€" lon could speak, a midshipman called lut that one of the great guns had leen dismounted, and TWENTY MEN KILLED. l‘he survivors tumbled the bodies lhrough the hatch that opened into the deck below, thus releasing the clogâ€" [ed machinery; and as the corpsos rattled down other men rushed up, throwing off their clothing as they lumped into the pools of blood to seize told of the gear and swing the remainâ€" ng g'un into position, that it might train upon one of the shipsâ€"â€"lhey could to longer make out uhich, nor did , lhey careâ€"and it was discharged, haulâ€" ld in, loaded, and discharged again. . Once more all was silence in the conâ€" ningâ€"tower. Lieut. Palacios hastened there, but before he could enter he wascompelled to push three bodies out of the way. He had barely given his first command when a bullet from the wellâ€"aimed rifle of a marine in an enâ€" emy’s top lodged between his eyes. Then the fourth to command the Huasâ€" car that day. Lieut, Pedro Garezon, Look the place, as he did so he called through an aperture, telling the quar- termaster to put the helm to port; dot he had determined to ram one of the adversaries, and sink with her if necessary. Over and over spun the wheel, but the Huascar's head still pomted between the Chileans. "Port! Port, I say!" screamed the oopnnander. "‘She won't answer," came back the qdllen reply from the only one of four lfiuartormasters alive; the bodies of the ‘others were lying upon the grating at his feet. t "A shot has carried away the star- board steering-gear, sir," reported an ensign; and he dropped dead as the words left his mouth. The Huziscar now lay drifting in a hell of shot and flame, but all the while the red, white and red fluttered from the peak. One by one, in twos and in threes, the men in the turret dropped at their posts; and at last the remaining great gun was silent, its tackle literally CHOKED “'ITH DEAD. The turret could not be turned for .‘the same reason. Corpses hung over the military top, corpses clogged the conning-tower. ‘ With coats and waistcoats off. the surgeons had been laboring in the wardâ€"room upon the wounded. who, shrieking in their agony. had been ltmubled down the companionway like so much butchered beef; for there was no time to use streitchers or to carry. a. stricken comrade to a. doctor's care. Steam and smoke filtered through the doorways, and the apartment became stifling. While they were sawing, amputating, and banduging, a shell tore into the ward-room, burst. and fragments wounded the assistant surâ€" geons. the chief of the medical staff! having been killed earlier in the conâ€" flict. Those unlortunates who were stretched upon the table awaiting their "turn under the knife, and those who lay upon the floor. suffered no more pain; they were killed as they lay groaning. This shell tore away ward- room an dsltern cabin and hardly a. truce was left of the bulkhead. After that what little surgery was done was performed in the coalâ€"bunkers. Huddlcd in a passageway near the engine room was a score or more of non-combatants â€" stewards, pantry- men and stokers. They Were in a place that was lighted only as flashes came from the guns; it was filled with powder. and clouds of steam that drifted from below told that the Huds- car had been struck in a vital spotâ€"â€" her machinery. Suddenly they heard order 0F W . riots again and forms-d a line of bleed- froin the conning-tow- ”; but when the Blzinco crowded into from fireâ€"fighters into “Ti râ€" ing imenL their clothing ln rags. and, ranged in company fvtfnt.
