Gibraltar, Great Britain's Great-
est Naval Stronghold.
Its Defense During a Famous Siege a
Memorable Event — For Four
Years Spaniards Bombarded
Impregnable Rock.
Gibraltar.—When King Manuel fled
from Portugal he quite naturally I
sought refuge at Gibraltar lor tin ;
simple reason that it was the safest
as well as the nearest place which ot :
fered him protection. Furthermore
since Great Hritaln Is supposed tc
have guaranteed the Integrity of Man
uei's rule It was probably as wise a
move as he could have made. Gibral
tar is a strongly fortified point com
m.-ndlng thhe entrance to the Mediter-
ranean sea, and It Is regarded as the
greatest naval stronghold of Great
Britain. Resides a small town at Its
foot. It consists of a mountainous rock
towering, at Its highest point, about
1,493 feet above the sea level.
One of the most obstinate and fa-
i/ious defense s made In history was
that of Gibraltar by the llritlsh in
1779-83 when that stronghold was b
sieged and blcekadtd by allied French
and Spanish forces. At tl.ls time Eng
land was engaged In the American
revolution and Spain, well aware ot
tho consequent weakness resulting
from the American broil, took oeca
.'ion to Improve her opportunity by
attacking the Impregnable rock
On the 21st of June, 1779. a strict
blockade was established by tho Span
ish fleet. The British forces num
bercd in all 5,382 men, Including 1,015
Hanoverians under General Eliot, the
governor. The first calamity that
laced the besieged British was famine
The first general firing began on the
12th of January, 1780, and live days
later Admiral Rodney overcame the
Spanish admiral, threw a good supply
of food provisions Into the fortress,
added 1,000 men to the garrison and.
removing all useless mouths, left it
dependent on its own strength. For
a year everything was quiet, nothing
important happened and all the while
the besieging fleet were maneuvering
to cut off all chance of food supply
from the British.
Faccd Starvation.
In 1781 the 7,000 defenders of Gib
raltar were face to face with starva
tlon. On the 12th of April Admiral
Darby conveyed 100 merchant vessels
Into the bay. The Spaniards instant
ly opened fire, hoping to reduce the
debilitated garrison before any effectu-
al aid could reach them. Deadly
missiles were poured into the place
by 114 pieces of artillery and for
many days the bombardment lasted
with unabated vigor, and, though less
Incessant, it continued without inter-
mission until November 23, when, in
The Silks Are a Treasure
Trove of Savings
The silk store is as busy as the proverbial "bee hive"—we are doubling the
business of last year. "Reasons why" i nd 'causes of" dawn to our mind thick
and fast, the main one, however, is simply this—We are offering the best

tinual, incessant. Put your finger on any silk at any price on any day, and it
is dollars to doughnuts that you cannot match the quality at the price in

rieties and the bulging big stock. It is a pleasure to choose where there is scope
instead of scant. Genuine nuggets of values—every one.

The Rock of Gibraltar.
a desperate midnight sally, the Brit-
ish succeeded In destroying the more
advanced of the enemy's lines. In set-
ting fire to many of the Spanish bat-
teries, and in blowing up their princi
pal depot of ammunition. Tills daring
enterprise, successfully carried out
In the face of 135 guns, was attended
with surprisingly small lovs. and
forms one of the most brilliant inci-
dents in a magnificent defense.
After this repulse the Spaniards
eeascd severe hostilities for several
days, up to which cessation the garri-
son had been fnccssantly bombarded
lor eight months. In July, 1782, Due
de Crillon took command of the as-
sailants and preparations were made
for the grand assault. Additional bat-
teries were erected on the land side
and floating batteries built to batter
the fortress from the sea.
The Famous Attack.
The attack began September 8 by a
bombardment simultaneously on all
sides; nine line of-battle ships poured
in their broadsides; 15 gun and other
boats approached the town; while
from the Spanish lines. 170 pieces of
ordnance of large caliber opened in
one magnificent dlcharge This terri-
ying fire continued till the 12th, when
he combined French and Spanish
fleets, numbering 47 sail of the line, the
■n battering ships mentioned above
with many frigates and other smaller
vessels, anchored in the bay of Gibral
tar. On the 13th every gun of besifged
and besiegers was in play. The bat-
tering ships proved Invulnerable to
shot and shell. The defenders, as a
!ast resort, began firing red-hot balls
on the shot proof ships and after con-
tinuing this for a day succeeded in
burning the ship of the Spanish ad-
miral and also the ship second in
command By the end of the 14th all
the battering ships were destroyed by
flames. The great bombardment of
September 13 was the crowning tri-
umph of the siege that lasted four
years. The firing continued from the
Spanish lines until February 2, 1783,
when Due de Crillon called for peace.

CATCHERS OF CATERPILLARS
Pittsburg Boys Who Have Been Rid-
ding Park Trees of the Insects
Strike for Higher Wages.
Pittsburg, Pa.—Schoolboys who en-
listed to help Forester L. Grimes rid
the city's trees of the destroying cat-
erpillar went on strike for more money.
Mr. Grimes held out against the de-
mands until he began to worry over
the Inroads of the Insects, and then
he posted on park trees and about the
schools a notice that the pay would
be advanced from 10 to 25 cents a
quart.

however, for a standard measure Is

prompted by a North side boy, who
was caught buying the cocoons from
his schoolmates at cut prices and sell-
ing them short measure to the city.
He had a false bottom measure.
