THE srAR-spANeLED BANNER.

THE sTAR-SPANGLED BANNER.
o say, can you see. by the dawn's early
light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twi-
lights last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched were SO
CALAMITY streaming;
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there,
o say, does that star-spangled banner
yet wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
Of the brave?
On the shore dimIy seen, through the
mists of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread
silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, DER
the towering steep,
AS it fitfully blows, half conceals, half
discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the morn
ing's first BEAM,
In full glory reflected, now shines on
the stream,
Ills the star-spangled banner! o long
may it wave,
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave!
And where is that band who so vaunt
ingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battles
confusion
home and a country should have
us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul
footsteps pollution
No refuge could save the hireling and
slave
From the terror of death and the
gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph shall wave
Der the home of the free and the 1anl
of the bravei
o thus be it ever, when freemen shall
stand
Between their loved home and the
wars desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the
heaven-rescued land
Praise the power that has made and
preserved us a nation.
Then conquer We must, for our cause
it is just,
And this be our motto, ''In God is our
trust
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph shall wave,
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave!

A FIND OF WAR RELICS.

The greatest find of relics ever
known on Lake Champlain was made
Wednesday afternoon by ]. G. Fall
con of Evanston, ILL.,, and a force of
men who have been employed for some
time by the city water works, says the
Burlington Free Press. Mr.. Falcon is
a diver of much experience and has
devoted some time to searching for
relics and doing all sorts of work un-
der water. He completed his work for
the city several days ago, but upon
being informed of the location of the
schooner Royal Savage, which was
sunk south of Valcour island in 1776,
he determined to investigate the
wreck, and, if possible, secure some
relics.
With force of men, barge with
derricks and all equipments for the
work, he went to the island Wednes-
day afternoon. When he reached the
bottom of the lake in about twenty feet
of water he discovered the well-defined
outlines of the schooner. He found
three cum carriages, quantity of can
non balls and some smaller articles.
With the aid of the derrick the relics
were hoisted to the barge and brought
to this city. The three gun carriages
are the most Interesting parts of the
find. Although much eaten by rust and
damaged by action of the water, they
still retain their original form and ap-
pearance. They are constructed of
wood and iron, and in many places the
wood is eaten away until there is
hardly enough left to hold the struc-
ture1ogether. The wood is now partial
ly petrifed and is almost as solid as a
rock The iron bars and bolts of the
carriage are corroded and covered with
large punches of rust, some of them be-
ing nearly as large as a mans fist
The carriages are two feet high, three
feet wide and four feet long. They
weigh in the vicinity of 200 pounds
each One of the carriages has been
given to the city of Burlington by Mr..
Falcon, but the other two were boxed
yesterday and shipped to the Smith
soEian Institution at Washington Mr..
Falcon spent about two hours in search
OF the relics. and aside from the car
riages secured about thirty cannon
balls and shot Among them are chain
shot, bar shot, grape shot and solid
shot. He also secured rib of the boat
and some rigging. 1t is his intention to
make another visit to the spot where
the boat was sunk, and, if possible,
get some more interesting relics A
large number of people gathered at the
dock to see the relics Although several
previous attempts have been made to
get portions of the wreck they have
been unsuccessful with one or two ex-
ceptions, when small articles, such as
few shot and small pieces of wood
from the boat were taken From a his

Sch1ey's
COURAGE

Any event in the lives Of Admiral
Schley or Sampson which deals with
their physical courage in time of
great danger is of interest just at this
time when the controversy as to the
conduct of each at the memorable bat
tie of Santiago is raging. Attention
has been called by the dispute to a
magnificent act of Schley's-the rescu-
ing of the survivors of the Inflated
Greedy expedition in 1884. Though II
years have elapsed since Winfield Scott
Schley ventured into the solitudes of
the vast arctic circle on well-nigh
hopeless quest for the devoted band of
explorers, whose fate had aroused the
sympathy of the world, the story of
the rescue yet remains one of the most
thrilling in the whole history of arctic
exploration. Three years had passed
without sound from Greedy or his
men, and everybody knew that, if
alive, they must be in dire distress.
To Commander Schley, as he then
ranked, the charge of the relief squad
ron was intrusted, and such was the
confidence reposed in him by his SUI
periors that Senator Chandler, then
secretary of the navy, declined to give

death stared the seven in the face his
comrades placed a water-bag at his
head, with food near and fastened a
spoon to the stump of his arm, so that
he might have every aid toward living.
Sad to say, he died under the amputa-
tors knife a fortnight after.
The others were more fortunate, and
though weak as children, crowded
around Sch1ey and his officers, shower
ing down blessings on them for the
aid they brought. Their escape seemed
little short of miraculous; for three
days they had not tasted warm food,
and what they had was boiled sealskin
boots cut up fine, with lichens and
all made into soup. Since land
ing they had not changed their
clothing, their weakness forced them to
abandon any scientific work, anything
that could be used for fuel or food had
long gone. and a picture of desolation
rarely equaled faced the spectators
of this tragedy of the north.
When the living and dead had been
conveyed aboard the relief ships and
the belongings of the party gathered
up the ships turned their prows home

Was a Rare Achievement.
The achievement, indeed, was one
rarely eQualed, and was unique in it's
way. Schley ventured into a region un-
known to him, full of dangers even to
the most experienced ice masters; he
had to traverse an uncharted coast,
bristling with hidden rocks seeking for
men of whose whereabouts he could
have only the vaguest idea He had to
bear the whole responsibility of the
directing and conduct of the enter
prise; he had no set rules to govern
him or what he might plead in excuse
for an error of judgment, and if failure
had been the record of the expedition,
even through no fault of his, thou
sands of Americans would never have
forgiven him. He carried out his mis-
sion promptly and effectively, SO
promptly, indeed. that his ships sue
cessfully accomplished their task in
the incredibly short space of six weeks.

annals

so successful, was the marvel of the
world and won him the praise of all

During the funeral of David Linds-
kog in Chicago, a few days ago, what
threatened to be a panic, in which
many would have lost their lives, was
prevented by the prompt action of the
pastor, Herman Lindskog. 1t occurred
in the ST. Ansgarius Swedish church.
The church was crowded, and hum
dreds of people were outside awaiting
an opportunity to view the remains of
the pastors son, who was shot by Po-
liceman James p. Wiley during a
scuffle. Just as the burial service was
concluded a loud report and crashes
as of splinterirg beams sounded in
front of the edifice. The flooring bent
several inches, and number of per-
sons started rush for the entrance.
In the crush at the door three women
tainted. The collapse of the floor was
caused by the splitting of a wooden
post in the basement, which allowed
the floor to sink.

Johns for Lady Franklin bay, an inlet
on the northwest coast of Greenland.
She was conveying the American sci
entifc expedition, consisting of Lieut.
A. w. Greedy in command, with "a
companions, mostly selected from the
United States signal service. Their
purpose was to carry out scientific OBJ
servations and explore the surround
ing country. Every precaution was
taken to make the expedition success
full, but the summer of 1882 proved I'M
favorable, and the relief party under
Maj. Bebee could not penetrate the ice
barriers of Melville bay Greedy and
his men watched for the ship in vain.
They then tried to battle their way
south. Another relief party went to
seek the explorers, but was nipped in
the ice and its crew barely escaped.
Greedy and his men set to work to bat
tie out the winter but their disasters
were only beginning. One after an
other persisted until only seven re-
manned. They were reduced to feed
on 1ichens and shellfish, and daily
prayed for the relief of death.
