The Princess Louise ana Her Ship.

10 The Edltor Of The Press.
The "Tenedos," which was detached to
bring the Princess Louise from Bermuda, does
not answer Webster's definition Of a corvette.
He gives 1t as "a slow sailing ship Of burden,''
when the Princess ship is steamer OF 1000
horse power. In 1913 the frieate Tenedos was
one Of the British North American squadron
which made vigorous attempt, with partial
success, to blockade the whole New England
coast. This ship often anchored in the road
steads Of Maine. She LAID several days at one
time at Townsbend harbor (Boothbay) during
which her boats went into the little harbor OF
Damariscove Island. The officer in charge or
dered Mr.. knight, the owner Of the island, to
drive up his sheep. When this was done the
party coolly selected forty Of the best for eat
ing and packed them into their boats and then
asked the price, which wss paid In gold. The
Tenedos of the West India squadron may be
the same ship. Steam has frequently been put
into old fashioned sailing ships OF the British
navy. They have more room for officers quar-
ters, being high and broad. The Hero"
which brought the Prince of Wales TO Halifax
in July, 1060 ard received him and his suite on
board at Portland IN October, was a ship-of-the
line, afterwards fitted with steam power. II
the Tenedos is the ship Of 1873 she will be more
welcome in a New England harbor DOW than
when seventy years ago she often with her con-
sorts sailed leisurely up TO the harbors mouths
with open ports.
The Princess, whom the Tenedos has brought
to our shores, is no mushroom scion Of royalty.
In her veins flows the legitimate blood of Will
liam the Conqueror and Alfred the Great, who
reigned A. d. 81. / append her genealogy:
