An Enslgu's Narrow Escape.

When Commodore Decatur, In 1915,
dictated to the dey of Algiers the terms
of a treaty with the United States,
Lieut.. John Subrick was dispatched to
Washington with copy for the ap-
proval of our Government. The brig
Epervier was detailed for his transpor-
tation, and he was accompanied by
Captain Lewis and Lieutenant Neill
of the navy, who had married sisters
a few days before sailing with Com
modore Decatur for the Mediterranean,
and by Lieutenant Drury and Lieuten-
ant Yarnell, who had fought with
Perry in the battle of Lake Erie. Just
before the brig sailed Ensign Josiah
Tattnell, who was q watch officer on
the Epervier, succeeded in inducing IN
officer on one of the other ships to ex-
change places with him. as he pre-
ferred to remain with the feet A few
days Later. as the Epervier passed out
of the Straits Of Gibraltar, she sig
nailed "All well on board" Since then
she has not been heard from. It is an
interesting fact that Ensign Tattnell,
who escaped the fate of his comrades,
lived to command the ram Merrimac of
the confederate navy. Since the Eper.
vier went down we have lost num-
Der Of vessels, but each Of them can
be accounted for.-Chfcago Record.
