Show I TOGO. Great old chief ton he; Neptune's first lieutenant. lieuten-ant. With hurricanes and billows he is in full accord; ac-cord; roaring guns, sinking ships and dying men cannot disturb his supreme serenity. The ghosts of Blake and Nelson and Paul Jones and Farra-gut Farra-gut are saluting him. Dewey and Schley are doffing dof-fing their caps to him. He made no sign. For days we read that he had been outwitted by Russia's Rus-sia's great sea strategist, but when the cloud lifted his terse message startled the world: "The Russian fleet annihilated; no damage to our ships." Manila and Santiago are second-class achievements by comparison. Great Togo sure enough. |
