A STIRRING INTERVIEW.
The Adventure of Yankee Lieutenant at
Gibraltar In 1906.

Tho Adventure of a Yankee Lieutenant at
Gibraltar In 1906.
Two noteworthy facts mark the bat
tie of Lake Champlain and that Of Lake
Erie. They were the only squadron bat
ties of the war Of 1919, and the two vic.
torious American commanders were very
young. Perry was % and Marlborough
30.
When Macdonough was but % years
of age, an adventure at Gibraltar, in
1906, described in Mr.. Spears "History
of Our Navy" showed the character of
the man. He was first lieutenant of the
Yankee brig Siren, and one day while
the captain was Oh shore at Gibraltar a
Yankee merchantmen came into the
port and anchored near the Siren. A
boat from British frigate near by
went directly to the merchantmen and
in few minutes pulled away again,
having one more man in it than when
it left the frigate.
Macdonough noted the fact and sent
Lieutenant Page to the merchantman,
who returned with the information that
the British had impressed one Of the
crew of the merchantmen.
Macdonough ordered the Sirens gig
away, manned with armed men, and
getting into it himself overlook the
British boat alongside of the frigate and
took out Of 1t by force the impressed
seaman and carried him to the Siren.
Later the captain of the British man
of1 81, IL,
great rage demanded to know how
Macdonough had "dared to take man
from one of his majesty's boats. t."
II WILL" said he, "haul my ship
alongside the Siren and take the man
by force"
~ suppose" answered Marlborough,
"your ship can sink the Siren, but as
long as she can swim l shall keep the
man.
"You arc very young man and very
indiscreet," said the bully. "oupposo l
had been in the boat. What would you
have done?'
II would have taken the man or lost
my life,' replied Macdonough,
hat, sir would you attempt to
stop me if l were now to try to impress
men from that brig?" murdered the
captain.
Il would.' answered the calm Mac
donough, "and to convince yourself
that would you have only to make the
attempt"
At that the British captain got into
his boat, rowed away to his trigate and
then turned and rowed toward the mer-
chairman. Marlborough at once manned
boat with an armed crew and rowed
out to protect the brig. The Eng lish
man rowed around the merchantmen
without boarding her and then put back
to his trigate. He had tried to impress
the Yankee sailor not because he wished
to add more to his crew, but to show
his contempt for the little Yankee war

Human Magnets.

that certain persons possess magnetic

in fact, north and south poles In such
