Capinln Tunis Augustus Craven of the
monitor Tecumseh died In a way that
will live ns long us tlie history o f this
country lives. Ills monitor was one
of tlie vessels attached to Admiral Fur-
rugut's squadron, then collected for
the attack ou Mobile. Gu the tuorulug
of Aug. 5, 1804, tlie Tecumseh, lu tbe
post of honor nt the head of tbe a t­
tacking squadron, engaged the de­
feases of tlie city. The orders to fleet
captains were that lu order 'to avoid

lected the course warning nnd passed^
to tlie westward of the buoy. The pen­

smile Craven stepped away from the

“After you, pilot,” lie said.
Collins sprang up the lnddor. and as
he gullied tlie top round the vessel
went to tho bottom nnd Craven, the
"Sydney of tlie American bnvy,” with

In a humbler but wonderfully heroic
way the captain of the oil ship Loodl-

of tlie doomed ship liefore .thinking of
hls own safety. Then it wns too late.
Foot by foot he was driven forward
until horning over tbe l>ow, the flames
