on, she made thirteen knots throughout
a whole morning. In heavy weather
she can Outride any of the old ships.
In her cruise in the Mediterranean in
1888, for example, she lived through Il
heavy gale in which a Frencheighty-gun
ship was lost,and during the same night
while lylng-to she weathered the French
admiral'sship seven miles.
The Constellation has been in every
part of the navigable globe. and as long
as wooden sailing ships were the models
of the day she was among the foremost
of her class. Every one of her lines is
symmetrical, and when she sails under
a full spread OF stun sails prettier
sight cannot be found. She is reported
to have beaten the whole British fleet
on wind in the Mediterranean III 1884.
Although originally thrty-siX-gun
ship the CONSULTATIONS battery has
been cut down in the course of her
many alterations until today she carries
but twelve, these being smooth bores of
an old type. She carried a pivot
gun amldshlp until 1888, when it
was taken out and her pivot
ports put in. For good
many years she has been the
practice ship attached to the naval acad
envy tor the summer cruise of the naval
cadets. This cruise only lasts about
ninety days, and throughout the re-
mainder OF the year it has been the GUS
tom of the department to put her out
of commission. These short tours of
active duty have resulted in prolonging
her life far beyond the period allotted
to The frigates Independence, ONO and
United States-vessels which were
built early in the century and which
have long since passed off the navy list.
The Constellation returned from her
last cruise with the naval cadets i'll
fairly good TRIM and were it not that the
new government practice ship will soon
be completed to take her place at the
naval academy she would doubtless live
to see several more summer cruises, and
thus perhaps crown her glorious career
with century of service, for some of
her tlmberS at least were part OF the
first Constellation. Senator Tracy's
statement in his letter to Senator Wash
burn, that she ''can be sent at short no.
tice." shows that the ''old ship is not

and was sent again to Spain as envoy
for the affairs of the holy see in order to
renew the connections with Rome
which had been interrupted by the revo-

prOtOnotary apostolic in full.
For eight years he acted as secretary

THE OLD CONSTELLATION
First Fighter, Then Messenger
ofPeace to the Famine-Stricken

The fact that Secretary Tracy, in a
letter to Senator w. D. Washburn, sig
nifies his willingness to assign the sail.
ing ship Constellation to the duty of
carrying to the starving people of Rus
STA the flour and breadstuffs given for
that purpose by the Northwestern mill
ers recalls the fact that this ship has
been on similar mission before. This
was in 1915, when immense quantities
of provisions were given by the Ameri-
cans for the starving people of Ireland,
says the New York Times.
The Constellation is pretty old ship
now, and many of her tiInberS will not
stand The hardships Of long cruises in
succeeding years, so that her mission to
Russia, If accomplished. will probably
be her last active duty afioat. 1t will be
a fitting end to the career of a famous
old man-of war.
The old Constellation. nearly all of
whose original frames have been re-
paired and rebuilt in the present ship,
was completed and launched at Norfolk
in May, 1900, being the second vessel
launched under the then new organiza-
ton of the navy. Commodore Stephen
Decatur's squadron in the West Indies
was her first assignment to duty.
Before the close of this cruise she en-
countered the French frigateS L'Insurg-
ente and La Vengeance, trouble with
France being then in progress, and de-
teated them both. although the enemy
were greatly superior in guns and men.
She lost her mainmaSt in this action, a
midShipman and seven topmen going
with it. A gold medal was given to
Commodore TruXton, her commander,
by congress for his gallantry.
When in the Mediterranean on its
second cruise the Constellation. then in
command of Capt. III. Campbell, joined
the American Squadron off Tripoli, a
squadron famous in naval annals. The
trigate Constitution, with CommodOres
Decatur and Preble and Midshipman
McDonough, figured in the attack
which followed the CONSULTATIONS ar
rival. After the victory the frigate pro-
ceeded to Syracuse and saw no more
active duty OF wariiks sort until June,
1918, when she was blockaded by large
English force. Several attempts were
made to destroy or capture it by boats
from the English feet, all of which re-
suited In heavy loss to the enemy,
The Constellation is put down in the
old records of the navy as fleet sailor
and staunch ship In heavy weather.
In her early days she is credited with
a speed Of ten knots on wind, and
twelve and a half knots free, speed
which she is known to have maintained
