A YANKEE PRIvATEER.
An Action In which "LopG Tom" Did
Some Elective Shooting.

Some Elective Shooting.
Late one September day in 1914 the
Yankee privateer General Armstrong
anchored In the harbor of Fayal, a port
In the Azores. The new young cap
tain on her deck, Samuel Chester Reid,
had a fighting reputation to sustain for
his vessel and one to make for him.
self. Although bred to the sea, he had
always sailed merchantmen and was
on his first cruise as a privateer.
AS night closed in three British men,
of-war, carrying 1856 guns and 1000
men, entered the harbor. One Briton,
the Carnation, anchored within pistol
shot Of the privateer and began to
throw out boats and take on busy airs.
Clearing his decks for action, Reid ac-
cepted battle in spite Of the enormous
odds. His vessel carried seven guns
and 80 men. One gun was the now
famous Long Tom" which is among
the relics in Washington. 1t is long,
large cannon, mounted on a pivot.
Seeing four launches loaded with men
pull from the Carnation toward his
ship, Reid opened on them with the
long tom and with muskets. Instant
ly the whole feet was astir After
returning the volley with spirit the
boats backed away. Then the three
British ships sailed up and hemmed
the General Armstrong In in the mar
row harbor.
A flotilla Of launches made ready be-
hind ledge Of rocks and at midnight
paraded in one long line. They were
rowed steadily toward the privateer.
On coming within gunshot they re-
ceived a stunning volley, which threw
the line into confusion. Soon the Brit
ons rallied and answered the Yankee
fire. Cheering wildly, they dashed
forward until their boats touched the
side Of the ship. The British officer
shouted Board" and mo QUARTER"
Reid hurried his men to the bull
warks with their pixies, pistols and
buses, and the boarders were
beaten off by blows. stabs and shots de-
livered in their faces. The boarders
fought back with their howitzers, car
ronades and muskets. Reds lieuten-
ants fell, and many sailors were shot
down. The Yankee fire began to
slacken and Reid led his men forward
with shout. followed by fresh vol
ley of balls, into the thickest Of the
boarders.
That ended the struggle. All the
boats hauled off but two, those manned
with dead only. Next day the three
ships attacked, but in order to spare
the town which lay behind his ship
from bombardment Reid scuttled and
abandoned the General Armstrong.
However, his battle delayed the British
fleet in the Azores until New Orleans,
Its intended prize, was securely de-
Tended.

DR.. Mary Walker, who created such
an excitement few years ago by her
peculiar dress, and who is widely
known, possesses medal of honor for
services rendered during the war. The
records show that the medal was pre-
sented to her June 10, 1872, but at the
war department the clerks hold that
the records in this case are wrong.
They say Secretary Stanton himself
gave it to her, and one of them says
he saw the presentation. She served
as a surgeon during the war, but had

LUMBER FOR BARRACKS
WASHINGTON FIR AND CEDAR
COMING.
The Government has Purchased ESQ.,
600 Feet, Which will be Shipped by
the Steamer Garonne.

On the steamer Garonne, which will
sail December LIST from Seattle for
Honolulu and Australian ports. will
be shipped a consignment of 100000
feet of fir and cedar lumber. the pro-
duct of the Stimson Mill Company of
Ballard, says a late Seattle Post-Intel-
llgencer. The lumber will be used by
the United States government i'm the
erection of barracks for the troops at
Honolulu. The contract for the pur-
chase of the lumber was awarded bv
Captain w. w. Robinson, Jr.. assistant
quartermaster of the department of
the Columbia.
This is the first consignment of sup
plies from Seattle for government use
at Honolulu. 1t is believed that il is
but the opening wedge to what will
prove a big business. Seattle was
brought into favorable notice from the
government as supply point last
winter, when the various Alaska eXpe-
ditions We're being fitted out. The
troops all sailed from this port. and
while the big contracts were let by the
quartermaster at Vancouver, many
articles were purchased here under
the direction of Captain Robinson.
The order for the purchase of the
lumber for the barracks at Honolulu
came through Major George Ruhlen.
quartermaster at Honolulu, who serv-
ed last winter and spring at Dyea and
other points in Alaska, and who spent
several days in Seattle on his return.
Major Ruhlen requested of the war
department that the first consignment
OF lumber be purchased in Seattle. be
lieving, of course, that this port was
the most advantageous for securing
such supplies.
Captain Robinson advertised for bids
in the regulation manner. The con-
tract was awarded to the Stimson Mill
Company. The contract amounts to
approximately $1,000.
Captain Robinson said: "Of course
the Puget Sound fir and cedar lumber
is admirably adapted for the erection
of the barracks at Honolulu. The first
consignment, which will be forward
ed on the Garonne, will not. in nv
opinion, be the last. l hope to see the
trade between Seattle and Honolulu
grow very rapidly"

THEY WERE THERE.

In small country town not long
ago, the principal church found itseli
in urgent need of new supply of
hymn books, and, on making inqui-
RES through the post the vestry were
informed by firm of publishers
that hymn books can be obtained at
greatly reduced rate if We are allow.
ed to insert such advertisements as we
think fit" Eager to make sharr
bargain, the vestry consented and
ordered the hymn books. The books
arrived on Christmas eve, and were to
be used for the first time next day.
On glancing rapidly through them the
members of the vestry were overioyed
to note that there were no advertise
ments therein, and concluded that
the publishers had sent the wrong
books. But publishers are not nuiit
that way, as the vestry found, to its
amazement, the next day, when a
large and imposing congregation"
rose. with joyous Christmas feeling
in their hearts and sang
Hank! the herald angels sing
Bile Beans are just the thing;
Peace on earth and mercy mild.
