From this time until February, 1882, his duties were those of naval officers of his rank in time of peace. He served on the U.S. S.Portsmouth in 1868; on the Richmond from 1869 to 1871; in command of the Saugus in 1875 and 1876; as Executive of the Dictator in 1876; on the Colorado in 1877; as Executive of the Monongahela in 1878 and 1879; as Executive of the Independence, 1879 to 1882. In intervals between his service on these vessels he was assigned to various shore duties at League Island, at the Hydrographic office and elsewhere. While Lieutenant-Commander he wrote a savage letter to an old clerk in the Navy Department, for which he was tried by Court Martial, and punished by suspension, April 22, 1876, for one year and to retain his then number on the list of Lieutenant-Commanders. The offence was a mere outbreak of high temper and involved nothing dishonorable; and on April 14, 1902, the President granted a pardon which restored liim, then Rear-Admiral, to the position on the Navy list that he had lost by sentence of the Court Martial. This restoration met with the unanimous aproval of the gallant officers friends and brother officers. On the 4 th of Peliruary, 1882, he was promoted Commander; on August 4, 1883, he was ordered to command V.S. S.Adams and served on her until September 8, 1884.On the 23 rd of August, 1888. he was ordered to command the Mohican, on which vessel he served until January 21, 1890.November 18, 1896, he was promoted Captain. On March 25, 1897, he was ordered to command the Raleigh. Under his command that vessel took part in the battle of Manila Bay, as one of Conmiodore George Deweys squadron, on May i, 1898. On June 10, 1898, Captain Coghlan was advanced six numbers in grade for eminent and conspicuous conduct in battle on May i, 1898, while in onunand of the U.S. S.Raleigh, during the battle of Manila Bay. From this time his health was impaired, but he so recovered that, on April Ii, 1902, he was promoted Rear Admiral. In May, 1902, he was ordered as second in command of the North Atlantic Squadron, on board the Brooklyn as his flag-ship. On Septemlier 17, 1902, he shifted his flag to Deweys old flag-ship, the Olympia, and served on her until Iarch 21, 1904.On September 21, 1904, he became the Commander of the New York Navy Yard, where he remained until his retirement for age, and, after a few months further service, left active duties as an officer of the Navy forever. Rear Admiral Coghlan was elected Commander of the Commandery of the State of New York, of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, at the May meeting, 1907; and re-elected at the Alay meeting of 1908. He died at his home in New Rochelle, New York, on December 5, 1908, in the sixty-fourth year of his age. His conspicuous and efficient service, merely suggested in this brief recital, deserved and won the approving recognition of his brother officers and of his country. In the genial popular characteristics of life he was pre-eminent. He was a distinguished example of the Scriptural statement that, A Merry heart doeth good like a mjedicine. No one could be brought into relations with him, without becoming at once attracted to him personally. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
