THE KEARsARGE's sTERN-PosT.


One of the most interesting places in
Wae hington, that usually escapes the at
tention and interest of the daily thrOng Of
sightseerS, is the museum at the Navy
Yard
There are gathered the grim relics of a
thousand thrilling incidents where Old
Glory braved the battle and the breeze in
every sea under the sun. There are
Malay kreeses, Korean matchlOcka, big
and little guns OF all kinds taken in the
"3arbary wars" plentitude of hophit S
from British and French ships, and num-
berlees relics Of the fierce war OF the re-
bellion.
But by far the moet interesting relic of
all is the shattered stern-poat of the
amous old sloop-of-war Kearsarge, with
the exploded shell still imbedded in
g rent timber. Since the lamentable
wreck Of the kearsarge on Roncador reef
it is the only material evidence we have
left of that glorious ehip-to-ship duel off
the coast of France, June Ia, 1864, when
:" he men behind the guns" on the Kear-
g Irge gave another illustration of that
m lgnif cent Workmanship that has al
Ways been the glory OF the American
Navy The action was close from the
fret, and the Kearsarge was constantly
striving 10 make it closer. Her crew fred
but 173 shots all told, while their enemies
--i-ai ned EnGli:h eunneTs--fired more
than double that number. Yet the Ala
bama was rddled and torn as probably
never was a wooden ship before, ard
went to the bottom Of the sea, while the
Kearsarge received but 28 shots and shell,
of which only three were really effective.
One shell from a 6S-pounder Blakely rifle
burst on the quarterback and wounded
three of the crew of the after-pivot gun of
whom one died; a 32-pound shell crushed
sCme waterways near the forward pivot
gun. third shell set fire to some ham
mock nettings, but the flames were
quickly extinguished. A fourth exploded
in the smokestack and tore a large, ragged
hoe. The fifth, received toward the end
of the fight, threatened most serious con-
sequences. 1t was a 100-poUnd rifle shell,
and entered on the starboard quarter, and
lodged in the stern-post. The blow shook
the ship from stem 10 stern, but did not
explode. The rebels claim that if it had,
the victory would have been theirs, but
this the Kearsarge people strenuously
deny They claim that they had the
Alabama already virtually sinking when
they received the shell, and no possible
consequences Of its explosion could have
prevented their continuing the fight.
The Kearsarge crew drew the charge
from the shell and boxed the stern-post
in, in which condition it remained for
until the ship returned to Boston
and underwent general repairs. Then the
section containing the shell was cut
away and sent to Washington. Our il
lu5 tratiOn shows it in its present CON
iition, with the upper part protected by
|Ire-netting from relic-hqnters, who are
only too eager 10 break off priceless splint-
ers. AT the loot is an exact model of the
kearsarge in her day of victory.
The Natior al Tribune will present in
series many other very interesting curious
hingS seen in the museums.
