for the first time he grimiy remarked !:
"There, they won't have any trouble
about seeing that"
During the peace that followed the
American war of Independence England
very foolishiy made claim 10 the right OF
English sailors. The Americans kept
their temper in remarkable manner I'M
der these outrages until the American
frigate Chesapeake, while totally unpre-
pared for action, was fired upon, and her
captain and several men injured, because
she refused to allow the British frigats
Leopard to search her. At this insult war
was declared.
The American feet, though small, was
efficient, and its frigates all gave good
accounts Of themselves, while perfect
swarm OF privateers and small armed
schooners Immediately overspread the
ocean, capturing and burning English
merchant ships and even men-of-war in
all directions. So bold did they become
that they burned vessels in the English
channel, within sight Of land, and marine
insurance in London reached ruinous rates.
1t was during this war that the Yankee
frigate Constitution made herself famous
by many gallant combats and captures.
On August IS, 1872. she met the English
frigate Guerrero. and after close fight of
two hours, totally disabled her, leaving
her rolling in the trough of the sea, mis-
cradle wreck. with seventy-nine men killed
and wounded. Her hull was so shattered
that she had to be blown up. The Consti-
tuition lost only seven killed and seven
wounded.

cornered than at any other time, and he
was willing to forego the chances Of an.

The French have always been gallant
They have also been fine shipbuilders, but
in their handling of ships they have not
been equal to their English neighbors. In
many small actions they have been sue

have generally been allied with other
powers, and the unit Of action 20 neces-

thoroughly understanding each other has
always been made evident. Napoleon's
great genius enabled him to successfully

tive point, the Bay OF Aboukir. Nothing

deep bronze color. she is described as
shining and flashing in the sun as she
rolled on the waves like huge copper cal
dron. The two fleets met off the Capes of
Delaware and fought from noon till
night, when a high wind separated them.
Several English ships were disabled IN the
hight, and one, the Terrible, caught ire and
was burned, after having been abandoned
by her crew.
At the outbreak OF the late war there lay
at the Norfolk navy yard in Virginia the
United states irigate Merrimac. When
the yard was Abandoned the Merrimac
was set on fire and scuttled, but sunk be-
fore her machinery had been much dam
aged. The Coniederates raised her. cut
her down to the main deck, built over the
midship section a heavy iron armored
root, and with 4 fair battery sent her into
Hampton Roads, where lay the two
wooden ankee frigates, the Cumberland
and Congress. She attacked the former
hrst, and after short and bloody fight
ran her ram into her side, and she sank
while still working her guns. The Merri-
mac then attacked the Congress, but she,
after q short contest, hoisted sal! aid ran
aground where the other could not follow.
Her crew swan TO the beach. and the
frigate was burned.
The same night that the Congress was
burned the ironciad Monitor had arrived
in port from New York. where she had
been built under the supervision of John
Ericsson. She was fiat decked. deeply
submerged, with an iron turret containing
two large guns and q small pilot house on
the forward deck. This strange craft met
the Merrinac the next day. and after a
savage contest almost side by side. bat
tered her SO that her design to sink the
remainder of the United States fleet was
abandoned. The Merrimac did good
service In James river. and was blown no

tracted so much attention from naval au-
thorities as the fight in 1877 between the
little Peruvian turreted ship Huascar and
the British ships Amethyst and Shah.
The Huascar, manned by revolutionists.
was in effect a pirate, and the English
ships were sent to catch her. In the night
that ensued she was struck eighty times,
yet she eyaded her enemies and escaped.
Her next fight turned out disastrously.
for the two Chilean ironciads Almirante
Cochrane and Blanco Encalada got her
into pocket and captured her, but only
after struggle of six hours, in which all
three were badly damaged and the Hua-
scar had lost her captain and most of her
crew.
OF the fighting qualities of the great
modern ironclads of Russia. England,
France and Italy we know little from ex-
perience. The bombardment of Alexand-
ria by the British was too one sided an
affair to test anything except the monster
guns mounted on their ships. Two OF
these guns blew up, destroying the crews.
and what with the dropping of their muz-
zles and their short lives under service
charges, it becomes a question as to
whether they will not be disadvantage
in future contests. The capacity OF snip
to carry armor seems to have reached It's
limit, and possibly future commanders
will prefer swift thin-sided vessel IN
fight to one whose sides will be reduced to
guns.
The French armored Devastation carries
four guns, and her main deck is equipped
with two batteries, each commanding
full quadrant of a circle. The barbette
batteries stand up above the upper deck
and carry powerful guns on each side OF
the ship, with great range OF ire. But
ali these guns are exposed, and the fate OF
their crews under the rapid fire of small
arms can be imagined.
The Catherine III. of Russia is so feet
long, with a tonnage of 10000. She is
beited throughout with eighteen inches of
armor she Is armed with six guns of
forty tons each and seven oil four tons,
they being fought en- barbette in towers
plated with armor fourteen inches thick.
Her speed is sixteen knots. This vessel IS
a very formidable one from a modern
standpoint, is fully as powerful and some
what larger than the famous ME and
Trafalgar of the British navy.
The English ironclad Devastation IS
what is known in naval circles IS the
British monitor type of ship. She has only
a portion of the low forward and alter
deck of the American monitors. her mid
ship section having q considerable eleya-
ton above the sea; her turrets. of the true
monitor type. however, are superimposed
upon the middle structure. Such an ar
rangemeut gives them more commanding
range of ire and makes them dryer ves-
sells in a seaway, but in all essential quail
ties she is but q modified form OF the
American double-turreted monitor.
