Commodore Schley paid a beau tiful tribute to the valor of Lieu tenant Hobson and his gallant crew who ran the collier "Merrimac" into the entrance of Santiago har bor and sank the vessel so as to effectually block that port, when he said : "History does not record an act of finer heroism than that of the gallant men who are prisoners over there. I watched the '' Merrimac'' as she made her way to the en trance of the harbor, and my heart sank as I saw the perfect hell of fire that fell on the devoted men. I did not think it was possible one of tlicin could have gone through it alive. They went into the jaws of death. It was Balaklava over again, without the means of defense which the Light Brigade had. Hobson led a forlorn hope without the pow er to cut his way out. But fortune once more favored the brave, and I hope he will have the recognition and promotion he deserves. His name will live as long as the heroes of the world are remembered.''
