NEW BATTLESHlPS WITH THE
OLD NAMES.
Modern Vessels Cause Rene mbrances

Duel Ever Fought-I,ritish Vessel DE.
fented by Prudence of Americans.

1t Is a strange thing that to- day, not
nifty years after the bitter civil strug.
gle, this country should be using names
OF the Alabama and the Kearsarge-
even the memory of their brilliant con.
hict-to cement the South and the
North into firmer union. What would
capt. Rafael Semmes, the stanch Con-
federate who commanded the Alabama
to her grave, say of this peace bond?
What would Capt. Winslow Of the
Kearsarge say of IL?
There Is another Kearsarge in the
United States navy and there is to be
another Alabama to fight for the South,
but this time under the stars and
stripes. And each of these ships will
bear a silver tablet In memory of its
forerunner and to commemorate the
reunion Of the states.
The old Alabama and Kearsarge were
wooden men-of-war, each with eight
guns to man. The Kearsarge was
somewhat the speedier, but her great
advantage lay in the forcthought of
Capt. Winslow, who hung chains over
the sides of his vessel to protect her
boilers and machinery. Both were
fair-sized vessels for their day, yet we
read with amazement that the crew
Of the Alabama consisted of eighty
men. The Alabama Of to-day carries
go men. Instead of the eight small
guns Of the Confederate Alabama the
new battleship carries altogether
forty.four guns besides four water tor
pedo tubes.
The old Alabama was built In En-.
gland In 1862, and although she was
not one Of the largest warships Of the
time she was considered Of fair fighting
capacity. She was built to meet men,
of.war. yet she did meet and was fairly
matched by the Kearsarge. an old.
but still servlceable, member Of the
dwarf United states navy. In q two
years cruise OH the Atlantic the Ala
bama had preyed on the merchant ma
rine of the North and when she steamed
out to meet the Kearsarge of the coast
Of France she had list Of siXty-four
destroyed merchantmen to her credit.

methodcally. The Alabama pushed for
the Kearsarge backed away to get the
advantage of the greater range of her
guns. In doing this the two ships
moved in circle, keeping always with.
in view of the spectators.
Battle wns Hard Fought.
For more than an hour the battle
lasted; 1t might have been a gala day
maneuver for all the audience saw. On
the ships. however, the business Of war
was bringing its suffering. The chains
huns on the sides Of the Kearsargc
protected the engines. but not the men
who were struggling on the decks with
the guns. And on the Alabama there
were no chains and the sea was forcing
its way through the wooden hull to add
Its horror to the suffering Of the
wounded. The men on the Alabama
found their gunpowder cakey and bad
and they were discouraged at sight Of
the unexpected armor of the enemy.
Finally the Alabama turned and made
for French waters hardly mile away.
1t would not have taken long for the
Alabama, disabled as 1t was, to swing
In aud out Of danger, but Captain
WiNslow saw the move and was quick
to meet 1t.
The Kcarsarge swung to. and, cross
ing the Alabama's bow, raked her fore
an. aft. An English yacht, the Deer
hound, which was lowering near to
aid the officers of the Alabama, sour
ried away in fright. while cry from
the watching boats foretold the end.
The Alabama went down quickly, al
though her colors had been struck and
the white flag was flying when ker
bow dropped out Of sight. Captain
Winslow stopped firing when he saw
the end had come and boats were sent
out to rescue the enemy's crew. The
men from the Kearsarge worked with
such good will that all told sixty-eight
were saved from the wreck. The off,
GERS of the Alabama were taken Off by
the Deerhound and carried to Eng
land, where. in spite of his defeat,
Captain Semmes was feted and made
much of.
The career of the Alabama was one
of the most notable In history. Never
was such a record made ut privateer-
ing. Although hardly two years ut her
work, she lrreparably injured Ameri-
can commerce and busted greater
part Of the United States navy in her
chase. For years her history was the
horror Of merchantmen and tradesmen
kept sharp lookout lest another might
come to succeed her.
As to the battle, there has never been
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1901-05-11

The battle between these two wooden
vessels was one Of memorable interest.
Nearly all France was present. with
goOdly representation from England,
stationed of shore to cheer the Ala
bama to victory. The whole affair was
arranged much as though II had been
regatta instead OF u stern sen battle.
When the Kcarsarge steamed into the
Cherbourg harbor on the 18th Of June,
1864, and found the Alabama there
every one knew there would be a fight.
The news OF 1t spread throughout
France and from every corner OF the
pleasure-lovlng republic crowds started
FOR CherbOurg. Parties went down
from as far north as Germany. and
yachts carrying private parties cross
ed the channel from England when It
was known that the Alabama would
not try to run away rs she had done
before.
Every man on the Alabama was
etching for n fight after the months
Of uninterrupted domineering. They
were looking for an enemy that would
not give up at the first shot. Captain
Semmes, who had conducted their eX-
peditions, was n Southern gentleman
and not an inch q coward; besides that
he knew the ship which lay waiting for
him was fair match for the Alabama
ana he loved nothing better than n fair
fight. 1t was therefore much to his
satisfaction to give the orders TO clear
for action, nor was moment wasted
by the men. Sunday was the Ala
bama's lucky day. 1t was the day of
her christening, and Captain Semmes
chose 1t to be the day Of her death.
Early Sunday morning, the 10th of
June, 1864, the Alabama swung away
from her pier. She was in the best of
fighting trim and the good cheer of her
crew echoed in the forecastle refrain:
We're homeward bound, we're home
ward bound;
And soon We shall stand on English
ground;
But, ere our native land we see,
We first must fight the Kearsarges.
A fleet of small craft accompanied
her to the three-mlle line, their crowd
ell decks shouting words OF encour-
agemCnt to the waiting gunners. A
mile farther out in the purple haze the
Kearsarge waited. Captain Semmes
called his men forward and addressed
thea briefly, with perfect assurance in
his words. Then ordering them to
their places he charged the Kearsarge,
leaving in his wake the line of specta-

which has since distinguished the Unit
