MARYLAND LAUNCHED. SHE STICKS IN THE MUD. But Is Not Injured by Miss Waters.
The 15,000-ton armored cruiser Maryland (ACR-8) was launched at the yards of th?« Newport News Shipbuilding Company today. An unlmpotant accident attended the launching, marring but little, however, the success of the affair. The intensity of the sun's rays caused the melting of the tallow with which the ways were greased, and the big keel, instead of gliding evenly down to the water, clung to the cradle. When she was finally released the ship dipped her stern heavily and grounded in the mud. The vessel was so skilfully handled by the experts in charge of the work that no injury was sustained, and the cruiser will probably be safely afloat in the morning.

A girl on a warship in midocean! Was ever a ship's crew so privileged before? Mascots there have been aplenty, and few are the cruisers that cannot boast a goat, a cat or a dog. But a girl! A real, live, fluffy-haired, over the floating fortress, to loll in a steamer chair in the shadow of the turrets, to use the big guns as a perch! Those gallant sallormen looked on the cannon as the throne of their princess.
Miss Priscilla Ellicott, daughter of Capt. J. M. Ellicott, commanding officer of the United States armored cruiser Maryland (ACR-8), enjoys the distinction of being the first female asscnger upon an American seagoing man of war in the last 31 years, in other words, since Secretary of the Navy Wm. Hunt issued his famous "nopettiocat" order of 1881. |
