NJ. A Spofford, of e. G. Parker Post, No. 90
of Kittery, advanced upon Department Com

ing to the delight Of all present. The cane
was made out of Yankee oak from the keel
son of the historic KearsaTge, and had a
handle made from one of her gun castings
representing swivel gun. 1t was a very
handsome gift and the presentation speech
and reply were worthy the maker. Com

Lieut.. Commander Preble, one of Portland's
sons, was the navigator of the ship in her
famous battles. and particular friend OF his
was engineer, whose foot has often pressed
that keelson.
