THE BATTLE OF FAYAL.
A Poem on the Battle Published by
Request.

A Poem on the Battle Published by
Request
The following communication has
been received from a well-known Fair
Haven resident:
Reading your paper this morning, l
noticed a piece written by w. l.. b.,
whose father was part owner of the
brig General Armstrong, stating that
one of the Yankee sailors plunged
grindstone through the beat, causing
her to sink, leaving the occupants IN
the water, and that during the confu-
sion the Armstrong slipped her cable
and sailed away. 1 have a history OIL
the battle of Fayal, and it reads like
this: The crew of the Armstrong, as
if supernatural spirits, or holding
charmed lives, still grimly stood by the
little bark, returning broadside Tor
broadside with wonderful effect the
Long Tom doing splendid execution
The maintopmast of the Carnatlon
soon fell by the board, and she became
so crippled by being much cut up IN
her hull and rigging, and with the loss
of men, that her guns became sllenceo
and she was forced to retire.
Finding all further resistance fruit
less, Captain Reid scuttled his vessel
to prevent capture, and then with his
gallant crew took to their boats ana
went ashore. The Carnation soon al
Ter, perceiving that the Armstrong was
deserted, sent two armed boats to seize
her, but finding she was scuttled, they
set her on fire. She blew up in a blaze
of glory, and thus ended the fate of
the famous little craft.
l think that among those on the
Armstrong there were three from Fair
Haven, as follows: Captain Ava Gran
Miss, Zena Mallory and man by the
name of Wedmore.

THE FIGHT OF THE ARMSTRONG
PRIVATEER.
By James jeffrey Roche.

1
(From the Century Magazine, June,
| 1929
Tell the story to your sons of the GAL
liant days of yore,
When the brig of seven guns fought
the fleet of seven score,
From the set of sun till morn, through
the long September night,
Ninety men against two thousand, and
| the ninety won the fight.
In the Harbor of Fayal, the Azore
Three lofty British ships came a-sail-
ing to Fayal;
One was line of battle ship and two
| We're frigate tall,
Nelson's valiant men of war, brave as
| Britons ever are,
| Manned the guns they served so well
| at Aboukir and Trafalgar.
Lord Dundonald and his fleet at ia
maica, far away,
Waited eager for their coming, fretted
sore at their delay.
| There was work for men of mettle ere
the shameful peace was made
And the sword was overbalanced in
the sordid scales of trade.
There were rebel knaves to swing,
there were prisoners to bring
Home in letters to Old England for the
glory of the king.
At the setting of the sun and the ebb-
ing of the tide a
Came the great ships one by one, with
their portals opened wide,
And their cannon frowning down on
the castle and the town,
And the privateer that lay close inside;
Came the eighteen-gun Carnation and
the Rota forty-four,
And the triple-decked Plantagenet an
admirai's pennon bore;
And the privateer grew smaller as
their topmasts lowered taller,
And she bent her spring and anchored
by the Castle on the shore.
Spake the noble Portuguese to the
stranger: "Have no fear;
They are neutral waters these and
your ship is sacred here;
AS if fifty stout armadas stood to
shelter you from harm;
For the honor of the Briton will de-
fend you from his arm"
But the privateersman said: well,
we know the Englishmen,
And their faith is written red in the
Dartmore slaughter pen.
Come what fortunes God may send,
we will fight them to the end,
And the mercy Of the sharks may
spare us then"
"Seize the pirate where she lies" cried
the English admiral;
''If the Portuguese protect her. all the
worse for Portugal"
And four launches at his bidding leaped
impat tent for the fray,
Speeding shoreward where the Arm
strong grim and dark and ready lay.
Twice she hailed and gave them warn
ing but the feeble menace scornins,
On they came in splendid silence till
cables length away.
Then the Yankee Pivot spoke; Pico's
thousand echoes woke,
And four baffled beaten launches
drifted helpless on the bay.
Then the wrath of Lloyd arose till the
lion roared again,
And he called out all his launches, and
he called five hundred men;
And he gave the word, mo quarter"
and he sent them forth to smite;
Heaven help the - foe before him
when the Briton comes in might
Heaven helped the little Armstrong.
In her hour of bitter need
God Almighty nerved the heart and

guided well the arm Of REID.
Launches to port and starboard
launches forward and aft,
Fourteen launches altogether striking
the little craft.
They hacked at the boarding MEETINGS,
they swarmed about the rail,
But the long Tom roared from his plV-
OF and the grape shot fell like hail.
Pike ard pistol and cutlass, and hearts
that knew not fear,
Bulwarks of Drawn and mettle guarded
the privateer.
And ever where fight was fiercest the
form of Reid was seen;
Ever when foes drew nearest his quick
sword fell between.
Once in the deadly strife
The boarder's leader pressed
Forward Of all the rest,
Challenging life for life.
But e'er the blades had crossed
A dying sailor tossed
His pistol to Reid and cried:
NOW riddle the lubber's hide"
But the privateersman laughed and
flung the weapon aside
AS he drove his blade to the hilt and
the foeman gasped and died.
Then the. boarders took to their
launches laden with hurt and dead
But little with glory burdened, and out
of the battle fed.
Now the tide was at flood again, and
the night was almost done,
When the sloop of war came with her
odds of two to one;
And she opened fire, but the Arm
strong answered her gun for gun,
And the gay Canation wilted in half an
hour of sun.
Then the Armstrong looking seward
saw the mighty seventy-four,
With her triple tier of cannon drawing
slowly to the shore,
And the dauntless captain said, "Take
our wounded and our dead,
Bear them tenderly to land, for the
Armstrong; days are DER;
But no foe shall tread her deck and no
flag above 1t wave,
To the ship that saved our honor we
will give a shipman's grave.
So they did as he commanded and
they bore their mates to land
With the figurehead of Armstrong and
the good sword in his hand.
Then they turned the long Tom down
ward, and they pierced her oaken
side;
And they cheered her and they blessed
her, and they sunk her in the tide.
Tell the story to your sons
When the naughty stranger boasts
or his mighty ships and guns,
And the muster of his hosts
How the word of God was witnessed in
the gallant days of yore,
When the twenty fled from one ere the
rising of the sun,
In the harbor of Fayal the Azore.

The Pope's Life.

Viewed from the human standpoint
nothing can be more joyless than the
daily life of the Roman pontiff at the
present day. The era of magnificence,
of pageantry, for the Roman court, has
forever passed away. Extreme auster-
ity, at least outwardly, distinguishes
the jewellers of the Vatican. The at
mosphere there is gloomy and chill.
The pope lives alone: no one shares
with him even meal. A walk in the
garden attached to the palace has for
years been the only source of relaxa-
ton for him who while styling him
self, "the Vicegerent of Christ" is
nevertheless, by his own volition,
the Prisoner q the Vatican. Self

Milk Dilution separators.

Newspaper Bulletin No. n, Indiana
Experiment Station: Within the past
few months there has been introduced
to the farmers of Indiana what is
termed dilution cream separator.
This is not a separator as commonly
understood by dairymen, where cream
Is separated from milk by centrifugal
force, but Is a specially constructed
can, usually Of large size, in which
cream separates from milk by rising
to the surface, by the common gravity
process. The principle of Dreaming in
this can, however, differs from that
usually performed in the dairy,
through the mixing of water with the
milk to assist the cream to rise. These
specially made cans have certain pc
culiarities of construction and are adj
vertised by the makers as cream
separators." The cans of different
manufacturers differ in form and style,
but the principal feature with all is
to fill the can partly full of new warm
milk and then at once add large
quantity of cold water. This of course
dilutes the milk, perhaps 100 per cent.
In this diluted condition, the claim Of
the manufacturers is, that the cream
viii rise more completely and rapidly
than If not diluted; that in 20 to 80
minutes 1t will all rest on the surface
OF the skinned milk, which may be
drawn off from below.
In 1893 the Indiana Experiment Sta
ton for two weeks carried on an ex-
pertinent on the influence of dilution
of milk on efficiency of Dreaming. The
results of this work, as published in
bulletin A of the station, were that
a greater loss of fat occurs in skim
milk when dilution is practiced than
with undiluted milk, that the loss is
greater with cold than with warm
water, and that by diluting the milk
a poorer quality of skim milk for feed
ing is thereby produced. These results
were in accordance with conclusions
arrived at through similar experiments
lat the Vermont, Cornell, Illinois and
Ontario college stations. The process
of dilution was not to be recommended
as general practice.
These so-called separators are pat

Vegetables Influenced by others.

AS rule, varieties of melons,
squashes, cucumbers, ETC., cross readi-
ly in their class; intermixture Of fami-
lies is not SO frequent, yet is said to
occur. The results do not show in the
fruit of the current year, but in the
seed. A Long Island grower found that
watermelons and muskmelons, grown
16 feet apart, or less, did not intermix.
Peter Hendersons rule was to grow
varieties of melons at least 100 yards
apart. A New Jersey reader found
cantaloupes grown within 80 feet OF
cucumbers produced fruit smelling and
tasting like cucumbers.
