Ing about the notable achievement of
Rear Admiral Evans' fleet and th food

' traveled back half a. century to the
ships that fought In the Civil war.
He referred specifically to the new
- battleship Mississippi-, and said It waa
on the old battleship Mississippi that
stood up against the batteries at the
battle of New Orleans SO years ago
that he got a bsptlsm of fire. In dls-
: cussing the fight th admiral made th
sensational statement that soms of
...the guns ea the eld warship were fired
literally by a "dead crew, explaining
this statement and incidentally saying1
that he bad never seen the facts pub-

Is that Barker and I are the two sur

and we began to make out a Hat of the
