THE WASP SUNK

Notwithstanding the reports which We
have here tofore published, conversation
with an officer of the FIRST rank and re
spectability in the Navy, permits us tt
entertain no doubts of the loss of the U
States sloop of War Wasp, and that
| her. end was as glorious as her cruize
I had been brilliant.
Allreaders of newspapers must recol;
Ilect, that about year ago, there was an
account of a British Frigate putting into
Cadiz much cut to pieces, and 100 men
killed and wounded reporting her hay-
ing had all engagement with large j.
N.erican Fr;gGte of that port.
1t was known at the time that we had
no trigate in that quarter, and that the
Wasp was believed to be craizing in that
neighborhood but little was thought or
said about it at that time, as tie report
was not generally credited. We nos
learn, from a souree which cannot be
doubted that there was an action between
a British Frigate of the largest class, and
an American Ship, and that it was. nm
doubtedIy, the Wasp.-Lieut. 0enkliRg,
who commanded the schooner Ohio, one
of Commodore Sinclar's squadron, Oh
Lake Erie. and who was captured in
August, 1914, off Fort Erie, and sent to
England, has lately reported himself TO
his commanding officer: to whom, it APP
pears, he related, having met with one oil
the Lieutenants whD wason board OF the
ahove mentioned Frigate and was IN
formed by him, that the Ship they ensag
ed was not Frigate. as Wa, stated and
that his commander, as well as evei y
person on board, could see, by her bat
tie lanterns being lighted and from the
flashes of her guns that she was Cor
yettc Ship, mounting 90 guns: and that
they believed themselves, it was no o.
,ther than the Wasp: bat, after being SO
galIantly beaten off, and having suffered
SO severely, they were reluctant to ac-
knowledge how inferior the force was
which inflicted such severe chastisea'ent
on them. ltappcars, by the Lientenant's
own account. that the action lasted Sc
.yeral hours that the Frisate sheered of
to reft, intending, if circumstances would
admit of it, to renew the action at day-
LIGHT. which was not far distant; but, al
its earliest dawn, there was no vestige OF
their gallant representations the Grip
pied state of the ships, and the short tIaie
intervening between their separation q
daylight, the Lieutenant believed 1T I'M
possible that they could have been out OF
sight of each other had their opponent
been above water, -
