- summary: The difficulty was that because the _Brooklyn_ was on a parallel course with the Spaniards, and going in a directly opposite direction, she would have to make a complete circle in order to chase them; and had they had the speed with which they were credited, that would have put the _Brooklyn_ out of the fight, one of her engines being uncoupled, and in consequence her speed greatly reduced. But the Spanish vessels fell far behind their estimated speed, so that the _Brooklyn_ was able to circle about and still overhaul the fleetest of them, and the _Texas_, the slowest of our battleships, held its own in the race.
