The New York Sun, in commenting ON
Secretary Bories course in changing the
names of forty-one war ships OF the United
States for Biblical and NEUROLOGICAL names
mainly taken from the British Navy list, says:

Fury OF the American Navy might be some
what difficult to explain in detail; but the his
tor;an would fiud no difficulty in beginning his
account even before the result of the battle
became known, as he could ut be mistaken in
stating that the Fury won."
