Thomas Francis Bayard was born in Will
mington, Del, October %, 1898, and was a
younger son. In his thirteenth year he
entered school at Flushing, Long Island.
Here he remained two years. At the ex-
piration of that period, being intended by
his father for mercantile pursuits, a clerk
ship was obtained for him in the establish
nent of Mr.. Bayard's brother-in-law, An
gust Van Cortlandt Schermerhorn. Here
he received an excellent business training.
In 1913 his older brother died, whereupon,
at the request of his parents. he returned
to Wilmington. Having a liking for his
fathers profession, that of law he became
a student with that end in view, and was
admitted to the bar in 1851. He immedi-
ately began the practice of his profession
with his father, and was successful from
the beginning, his local fame spreading
rapidly. In 1858 he was appointed United
States district attorney for Delaware, bur
resigned in the following year. In 1876 Mr..
Bayard removed to Philadelphia, where he
formed a legal copartnership with William
Shippen This connection lasted five years,
being terminated by the death of Mr.. Ship
pen. Mr.. Bayard on the death of his part :
ner returned to Wilmington, where he was
needed by his father, who was then en-

Mr.. Bayard's Career.

Thomas Francis Bayard was a distin-
gushed member of an eminent family.
Since long before the revolutionary war
times the Bayards have been conspicuous
in the country's history as patriots and
statesmen, and many acquired national
fame jurists.
Nicholas, the first ancestor to come to
America, a son of Amsterdam mer-
chant, though of French Huguenot extrac-
ton, and a nephew OF Governor StuyVeSant
was secretary of the province of New
York in 1872, mayor of New York in 1861
and holder of several other important
provincial offices. Colonel John Bayard a
grandson, was member of the provincial
council of 1II4; leader of the movement
for independence in Philadelphia; a mem
ber of the council of safety; colonel of the
I'd Continental Regiment raised in Phila-
dephia in 1853; speaker of the assembly in
1I1I; member of the continental congress
in 11S5, besides having been honored with
many other offices of great trust.
-Four members OF the Bayard family, di-
rect descendants of the foregoing have had
senatorial honors bestowed upon them by
the little state of Delaware-ThOmas
Francis Bayard, his father, James Asheton
Bayard; his grandfather of the same name,
the negotatOr of the treaty of Ghent, and
his uncle Richard Henry Bayard. His
gIandmother's father, Governor Bassett of
Delaware, was also the recipient of sena-

Gradually Grew Weaker.

During the first few weeks of his illness
Mr.. Bayard was able to sit up, bat the
days passed he became gradually weaker,
and three weeks ago he laid himself On his
bed and never again rose from it. At times
he would rally to some exten-, but the re-
lapse carried him always nearer the end.
His wonderful constitution resisted the raw
ages OF disease for surprising period
Much of the time he in a semi
conscious condition, seldom recognizing any
of the family, and at intervals having sink
ing spells, accompanied py choking These
left him always weaker. Tuesday it be-
came evident that his death was Il matter
of only few hours. Still he fingered, hav-
ing slight rally during the night, and dur

showed little change.

half an hour later he gently passed away.

art was the man for that or any emer-
gency afioat, and throwing the sails on
main and miZzen fiat aback, he drove
the Constitution stern on until he
bluffed off the exulting Englishman
that was behind him and raked him in
stead-raked him with such slaughter
that surrender soon followed.
People a plenty have been found to
speak of Captains Stewards belief in
presentiments as idle superstition, but
when his ability as a Sailorman was
mentioned, the best of them took off
their hats in honor of this achievement.
Another story of a sailors dream re-
lateS to the death of Commodore Oliver
Hazard Perry. AS will be remembered,
Perry went down among the Span
ish West Indies, in 1919, to suppress the
piracy rampant there. He sailed with
the John Adams and the Nonsuch.
while the Constellation was ordered to
follow some time later. He was oblig-
ed, first of all, to see the authorities of
Venezuela about some deoredations
committed by their cruisers, and, ac-
cordingly, he went up the Oronoco 800
miles, to AngoStura. He was success
full in his mission, but it was accom-
plished during the heat of the tropical
summer. and the climate was more
than Perry could endure. He was taken
with fever on his way down the river.
and he died as his ship was arriving at

that he did not go TO sleep again that

for future reference.
After a few days Port of Spain was
reached, and the John Adams was
found at anchor there. AS soon as the
Constellation was anchored a boat
came over from the Adams with an
officer, who came to announce the
death of Perry, and when he was ques-
toned about the funeral, he described
the funeral procession in detail, pre-

SOME DREAMS THAT CANE TRUE.
Famous PreSentments In the History of Our NavyBain-
bridge FOreSaw His Fight.

There is no place where a frmer be-
lief in dreams and presentiments can
be found than among sailor1nen of all
classes. In this respect the jack tars
of our ships OF war prove themselves
true sons of the sea. There are, more
over, many well authenticated in
stances in the history of the navy which
at least afford a vivid excuse for the
fervid belief in dreams and portents
which is to be found in every fore
castle Three OF these stories of sailors
dreams that came true are concerned
with names famous in our naval his
tory and are Vouched for by witnesses
who cannot be doubted. One of the
stories is to be found in the diary of
one of the best known officers of the
olden days.
On the 18th of September, 1872, Com
modore William cambridge hOisted his
pennant on board the Constitution,
having received orders to take her with
the frigate Essex, Captain David Por-
ter, and the sloop Hornet, Captain
James Lawrence, on a cruise against
British commerce in the East Indies.
The Essex was at that time in the
Delaware, but the Hornet was in Bos-
ton, and the Constitution and the Hor-
net sailed away together, bound first
to Porto Praya, or st. Jago island, one
of the Cape de Verdes, where the Es-
sex was expected to join them.
The Essex having failed to come IN
time, the Constitution and the Hornet
proceeded to the coast of Brazil, and
on arriving off Bahia Chen called San
SALVADOR found a fine British sloop Of
war at anchor in the harbor.
For several days the Yankee cruised
off this harbor, vainly striving to coax
the Englishman to come out and meet
the Hornet, and while awaiting the is
sue of this correspondence Commodore
Bainbri6ge had a dream that, because
of the clealness of its procession of
events, made a very great impression
upon him-so great, in fact, that he re-
lated it to some of the officers asso-
ciated with him, and also noted it in
his diary.

Port of Spain, Trinidad.

Port Of Spain, Trinidad.
Meantime the Constellation, Captain
A. S. Wadsworth, was en- route to join
Perry at Trinidad, and on Aug. "a cap
tain Wadsworth had dream that was
most impressive.
He seemed to be pacing the quarter
deck of his ship, and looking at the
sea and sky with admiring eyes, when,
with some little stir, a man came on
board ct the weather gangway. LOOK
ing in that direction he saw that 1t was
Captain Gordon, who, as he knew, mad
been dead some years, but Wadsworth
was in no wise disturbed or astonished
at seeing him. After a greeting, Cor
don said:
Where are you bound?"
Il am going out as Perry's captain, +"
replied Wadsworth, he will hoist his
flag on board at Trinidad"
No" said Gordon, that you must
not expect to see, for Perry now be-
longs 20 my squadron. Look around
and you will be convinced"
He pointed over the side of the snip.
Captain Wadsworth looked in the di-
rection indicated, and saw what an
peared to be a harbor with a town and
a fort. The flags of the ships in port
and on the fort were at half-mast.
Minute guns were firing. Presently two
or three boats came from behind a
man-of-war at anchor in the harbor
They were filed with officers and the
crews rowed slowly, and with muf1ed

manding figure of a man seated to face
the Constitution. Then, grasping the
arm of a lieutenant who stood by his
side, the commodore pointed to the
officer in the coming boat and said, ex-
citedly: THAT is the Identical officer
l saw in my dream
Nor was that all, for as the commo-
dore recalled the whole matter the de-
tails of the battle as he dreamed of it
correspondent exactly with those of the
one just ended.
AS the reader will remember, the Off
Ger pointed out by Commodore Balm
bridge was Lieutenant Thomas Hislop,
who had been appointed governor of
Bombay and was being conveyed to his
post by the Java.
Something akin to this story of the
Java fight is told of Captain Charles
Stewart when on the last cruise of the
Constitution, made in the war of 1872,
but this is the story Of what may be
called a waking dream-a presentiment
rather than a vision of the sleeping
brain. 1t was on the 18th of February,
1915, and while the Constitution was
running free en- route from the coast
of Spain toward the Madeira Islands
in search of British ships She had
then been two months and two days out
of Boston, and had done nothing but
capture couple of merchant ships. It
was right hard luck in the minds of
her officers, and the one topic that en-
crossed their minds and conversation
was this hard luck.
So it happened that as a number of
them gathered in the starboard gang
way at about noon on the 18th and the
usual subject was preached, Captain
Stewart overheard what they said
Stopping beside the group he said in a
way that carried conviction: Il as
sure you, gentlemen, that before the
sun rises again and sets you will be en-
gagged in battle with the enemy and
it will not be with a single Ship
This was at noon on Feb. 10, 1915. The
next day, late in the afternoon, the
British ships Cayne and Levant were
met. Taken together they were not a
fair match for old Ironsides, but pluck
and persistence made right good sub
stitutes for metal in those days, and as
night shut down on the sea at it they
went at a range that gave the short
guns all the penetration needed. The
smoke soon hid the ships from each
other, but as the Constitution forged
ahead of one of the British ships to
range up beside the other, the one be-
hind luffed UP to cross the Yankees
stern. The Constitution was caught in
chancery, so to speak, and tack or wear
as he might, he was sure to catch a

mild contempt which all British sea
fighters felt toward all other sea fight
ers at the latter end of the Napoleonic
wars.
At 1:50 o'clock, being then half a mile
away and to windward, the bold Brlton
thought to run down and rake the Con-
stitution. 1t was trick that might
have worked with a Frenchman, but
not with a Yankee, and when the man
euver had been met, cambridge opened
the battle with a single gun, and "a
general action with round and grape
then commenced"
How the two frigates reached to and
fro across the wind: how their crews.
stripped to the waist, worked over the
guns; how cambridge, in spite OF a
raking, luffed up until he was within
pistol range of the enemy; how tow
ering cloud of smoke logged them in
a cloud that was i1lun1ined with squirt
ing flame and roared like a tornado
as it rose high in air and sagged away
down the wind; how the spars of both
ships were poked out of this cloud first
on one side and then on the other, as
they reached and wore; how time
came when the spars of but one APP
peared, and those held aloft the stars
and stripes to fiutter in the gentle
gale-that is one of the stirringest
tales known to Yankee history.
AS the fight began cambridge was
pacing the quarter deck, but after
time a musket ball lodged in his hip
and sent him to lean for support on the
frame Of the steering wheel. Then
round shot knocked the wheel to splin-
tiers and drove copper bolt into his
thigh. Still he remained on deck, go
ing now to the tsffrail for support.
And there lie stood as his men shot
away the headgear of the enemy. Her
foremost went next and then her main
topmast. She was all but helpless now
and a little later-it was at 3:55 o'clock
the mizzenmast swayed for an in
slant to the lee roll of the ship, and
then with swish and crash over it went.
The firing ceased. A silence that was
broken only by the walls and shrieks
of the wounded took the place Of the
roar of battle. The towering cloud of
smoke thinned and fioated away down
the wind, revealing the Java as
worthless hulk, rolling to the long swell
of the southern trades.
A boat-"one of the only two remain
ing''-was sent over to the wreck, and
when it came back it was loaded with
officers in gorgeous uniforms from the
beaten ship. Commodore cambridge,
still leaning on the rail, watched her
silently as she came webbing over the
seas, until his eyes fell on the COM
