W. PPIILIP, U. S. N. When commanding the U. S. Battleship "Texas. " ANNIHILATION OF CERVERA'S FLEET he had a beautiful auburn crop, which had be- come too bushy to suit him in that hot climate, so he decided upon the Van Dyke style. The ton- sorial artist was cutting away, and had finished trimming one side (the starboard) down to per- fection. Suddenly the alarm sounded, and, with- out waiting a moment, our handsome shipmate, leaping out of the chair, hurried to his station with a decided list... to port so far as his whiskers were concerned ; there was no list about his sight, however, when the firing commenced. As the magazines were opened, the men slid down the hawsers like so many monkeys sliding down a pole; so active and anxious were they to be ready for the fight. The first twelve-inch shell that came up was for Lieutenant Haesler's gun, on which the men had inscribed with chalk, down in the magazine : "In God we trust, This shell will bust, And blow the Dagoes Into dust. " "In memory of the 'Maine, ' from her beloved sister ship, the Texas, ' ofif Santiago de Cuba, July 3d, 1898.
