RELIC OF THE WOODEN NAVY.
Old Frigate Franklin VIII Soon lie
Abandoned as Useless.


Abandoned ms Useless.
From the Washington Star: THE
ancient frigate Franklin, a relic of the
old wooden navy, which has been used
for many years as receiving ship at
the Norfolk navy yard, is soon to be n
deserted hulk" said naval officer who
has recently visited the Virginia naval
station. She was examined not long
ago by board OF officers and 1t is be-
lieved they will submit a condemnatory
report The policy of the department,
as Is generally understood, is to do
away with the time-honored but an
tiquated and out-of-date system Of re-
ceiving ships, substituting for them
shore barracks similar In general char
acter to the quarters occupied by en-
listed men at army posts. The jackies
OF the old school are much opposed to
this plan. They cling to their old fogy
ideas of a seafaring life and believe
recruit should be placed upon the water
from the very first. To break him in
on shore and have him live in a bar
racks, they say, will make the fellow a
landlubber all of his natural life. While
the receiving ships OF today are moth
ing more than great floating houses,
there is nevertheless an air of the sea
about them and this the old dogs
among the men love. Dismantled and
rooted over. the ships haven't much
resemblance to seagoing craft. An
other thing in connection with the re-
celving ships Is that the families OF
commanding officers are allowed to live
aboard. The Franklin is a historic old
boat, and It has been suggested that
one might buy her when she is put up
a. auction and place the craft on ex-
hibition in different ports. This would
hardly seem to be a profitable under
taking"
