The Ericsson Reconooilering Under Fire
at Santiago, .. . .1
The obtaining of accurate informa-
tion as to the whereabouts and strength
of an enemy is even on land a danger-
ous business, but scouting .on'the water
isdoubly perilous. ' There is: no dis-
guising a despatch boat; there' is little
possibility of evading detection ‘0n the
open sea; and unlike such operations
on the land, a marine reconnaissance
must be made in full view of the enemy
and often’under direct fire of his guns.
' ' Shch's'ervice, however, is quite as es-
sential and impertant in the navy as it
' .fis'iii‘the‘ army-,and is usually performed
1by swift 'rhn'ning torpedo-beats ”which
:d'ash athigh speed glass to the ehemy’s
and- , battle-ships, .ahd
fortifications . . _
WhoSe‘_course.can be changed so quick-
ly and readily that it teststhe accuracy
of the most skilful gunner to get a
sight on the elusive flyer. From her
deck the officers take what hasty ob-
servations they can of the hostile
forces, and endeavor to form a "definite
idea of the weak and vulnerable points
in the fortifications." 1 , ‘
‘ Shch daring work as was performed, 4‘
for example, by the Ericsson at Santi-
ago was of incalculable value in. the
formation of future plans of attack both
to Admiral Sampson and General Shaf-
ter. A stirring pictureof this exciting
episode of the war we produce today
from the columns 1of Harper’s Weekly.
It clearly indicates the. dangerous na-
ture of the work which is the duty of
these scouts of the sea.
