There was honor enough for all to have a share, from admiral to ensign, from engineer to stoker. Each had done his part. The noble fleet of Spain was cornered, conquered, destroyed.
242 OUR WAR WITH SPAIN But the fleeing Colon, springing from that line of death in one last fierce dash for life, sped on up the coast with the Brooklyn and the Oregon, the Texas, the little Vixen, and finally the flag- ship New York, in full chase.
On past the beached and burning cruisers of Spain (their drowning c...rews now being rescued by the men who had hammered them in fight) the American flagship sped and rounded up the chase just as, offshore, fifty miles from Santiago, the Colo7i, last of Cervera's fleet, lowered her flag and surrendered to the Brooklyn.
Then, when Spanish bad faith, after this sur- render, would have destroyed and sunk the Colon in deep water, the New York laid her nose against the sinking cruiser and actually " bunted " her ashore, where she grounded in shoal water.
Six hundred men killed, two thousand taken prisoners, four cruisers and two.
