In this respect the event did not fall
short of his expectations; for she was so
indignant and ashast that, thinking of

her chamber, in her white gown and with
her hair unbound and flowing down over

looked again and her eyes met his. For

Joshua Humptr 6 Designed the Famous
Frigate Constitution
Interesting Facts of Value to the
Early History of the Ameri-
Navy.

Some time ago The Star reprinted from
the LIE yiston. Me-. Journal an article de-
scriptive Of the venerable old frigate Con-
stitution of glorious memory, which now
lies stark and gaunt at the dock in the al
most deserted navy yard at Kittery, Me-
The article contained paragraph reading
as follows:
'Of the original ship only a small section
of the deck and a few iron stanchions re-
main, but she was rebuilt much upon her
original lines in 1915 and 1875. first by the
son and again by the grandson of Hart

tically the same ship which outsailed Ad-
miral Brooks squadron and outfougnt
hing at which she backed her top
sails.
The Facts of the Construction.
The words Original builder in the para
graph quoted seems to imply that Mr. Hart
was the designer of the frigate and that
therefore its successful career was due to
him. This IS not a fact for the success of
the constitution, well as all of the old
frigates, was due to the talents of Mr..
Joshua Humphreys Of Philadelphia, the
designer and architect of the American
navy. The n1olds and Instructions for the
building of the frigate Constitution We're
sent by Mr. Humphreys to Mr.. Henry
Jackson. the navy agent at Boston, Mass
and she was there constructed.
In q letter from Mrs. r. H. Humphreys,

appointed chief naval constructor by Gen.
