theJSig Guns
It takes a pretty strong crano to
lift 122,000 pounds of solid rootal, and
it would not no pleasant to be stand
Ing under If anything happened to
glvo way. There wore no cranes nt
tho Brooklyn navy yanl strong enough
to give tho officers nnd men working
thereabouts comforting assuranco
that nothing would glvo, so thoy had
to secure a special wrecking crane be
fore tho first Btep of all In tho com
plete overhauling of tho battleship
Iowa could bo undertaken.
This first step of nil was finally no
cdmpllshed last week It was the re
moval from the replacement In her
forward turrets of the remains of the
great 12-Inch gun which exploded,
with such fatal results.- off Pensacola.
on Good Friday last. This was about
tho most serious accident that ever
happened on ono of our battleships.
The Iowa was at target practice In
tho gulf. Tho forward port 12-Inch
gun had been loaded to Are. Its pro-
Jectllo was a bomb, supposed to ox
plodo at 1700 yards by means of a
time fuse. It exploded, Instead, tho
Instant tho gun was fired, wrecking
more than 12 fcot of the great gun's
longth, ripping It Into fragments, send
ing these fragments, weighing, some
of them, a ton each, high Into tho air.
and dropping them on tho vessel
again to crash through tho spar and
gun decks of the great battleship as
If they had been so much pnstboard,
to crush tho lives out of thrco men
Boated at mess on tho third deck, nnd
to seilously Injure five more, nnd then
to splinter their way through this deck
to tho armored protective deck, whero
thick steel plates stopped the terrlblo
missiles from cutting down tho ma
chinists and flremon below.
There was no explanation of the ac
cident at the time. Subsequent In
vostlgntton leaves unexplained. Lieu
tenant Reed, tho ofllcor In charge of
tho turret, had Inspected It just bo
fore firing. It was In good condition
and had boon fired a dozen times with
in as many days. Somo defect "In tho
shell or fuse," Is tho only posslblo way
of accounting for It. Tho great barrel
was brokon off just nbovo Its long end
Joint, and that 12-foot section of heavy
rifled steel shattorcd Into fragments.
Tho mon who wero In tho turret
working tho gun wero unhurt and
hardly realized that anything had hap
pened. Tho concussion was but llttlo
more than usually accompanied tho
gun's discharge, Tho only consolation
was In tho fact that flvo minutes later
It would havo killed many more than
It did, for dinner call had Just sounded
and tho mon wero all pouring down to
tho mess room.
Later on, tfhon tho Iowa was
ordered to Brooklyn for ropalrs, It was
found that tho wholo vessel had boon
much more wreckod aud strained by
tho forco of tho explosion thnn had
boon at all realized, and that nothing
short of a complete overhauling would
render hor thoroughly fit. So tho Iowa
"tho prldo of tho nnvy," "tho groatcst
fighting ship of them all." first put In
to actlvo sorvlco about flvo years ago,
was .ordored out of commission in
definitely nnd has been pretty
thorough dismantled.
Tho first stop In tho overhauling
was, of course, getting out tho old
gun. And that proved something of
a problom. Tho Iowa's turret Is of
rather dlfforent construction from
thoso of the oldor vessels which havo
heretofore been In tho navy yard for
ropalrs. and It tool; somo time to loos
on tho top of tho turret Moreover, It
Is not every day that ono of thoso
great naval guns 1b replnced Had It
beon all thoro, tho gun proper would
havo boon 38 feet long. It's bore
would havo been 12 inches in dlamo-
tor at tho muzzlo. It would havo
wolghod In Itsolf 101,000 pounds, and
Us Jacket, which it woro on tho occa
slon of Its first and last shoro leave,
weighed an additional 21.000 pounds.
It was an anxious moment when nil
tho groat cables woro adjusted and
thp engines stnrted and tho great
crano's Iron arm began to lift, lift, lift,
nnd tho ropes grew taut under the
strain. Would "she" move? She did.
Slowly sho lifted out; slowly she
swung ovor tho deck. And every man
on it hold his breath. Supposing tho
proverbial "something" flhould"glvo'"
What would happon to tho Iowa then,
whon a fow fragments, no ono of thorn
one-tenth tho weight of this great
dtump of a gun, had wrought tho ves
sol such woe? Probably overy one
who finally saw It swing safoly ovor
tho Bldo drow a breath of relief a
breath which was duplicated whon
"sho" was finally loworcd gently Into
tho cradle that awaited her. It was a
giant cradle, bullded of tho heaviest
beams to support tho great weight
that It was about to receive, and
under which thoy groaned and
creakeda rockerless cradle mod
ern science frowns on rockers, any
how a twin cradle, for resting along
side, was the new gun which was to
replaco tho old, full length, full weight
full power of deadllneos.
It seemed in its .perfection almost
to mock at tho poor old battered,
broken wreck that was let down
alongsldo of It, that had socn sorvlco
and been brokon on tho wheel of duty
But It must havo taken its pride down
a bit and lowered the Insolonco of its
bearing when it found that for all the
glory of lu youth and strength it must
wear a mere hrnd-me-down Jacket
that the 21.000 pounds of steel that
ba,d oncased, or rather encaged, the
poor old broken remnant of a gun
beslda which U was flaunting Itself
were to be stripped off and clamped
upon Its lusty strength. But that was
tho next step In furnishing tho Iowa
with a now gun. For the old Jacket
was perfectly good not a rip in it and
hardly worn at all."
That also was something of an un

I crane could lltt oft tlrnt ono part and

and testing, of- bqjtlhg nnd screwing

InK Its Jacket off and cotlnir It nroncr-
ly adjusted to the now; nnd finally
lifting tho new gun Into placo ex

It v,as In the lifting of tho new gun
that tho cranes first felt tho full
weight of ono of Uncle Sam's big guns
clothed and In Its right mind. For tho
now gun was nil there and, it had tho
old gun's jnckot on. It was rather ri
ticklish job but It went oft without a
hitch to tho music of much creaking
of straining cables, and many a
hoarsely shouted order. And it vont
oft vory simply. Thoro wero no cere
monies marking tho Installation of tho
now big gun. Thero was no reception

nothing to mark tho ovent. Scarcely
