Feats and Tricks Of Rear Admiral
Francis Gregory When a
Midshipman.

Mr.. Park Benjamin's recent history
of the United States Naval academy is
full of the kind of information in
which readers delight, and which dry
as-dust historians scorn. Solid facts
are vivified by accompanying anecdote
and tradition, giving glimpses of the
life of the American midshipman and
his successor, the naval cadet, from the
revolution to the Spanish war. They
show him to have been always gallant,
always lively, and always very much Of
a boy even under serious circumstances,
says Youths Companion.
One characteristic tale is told of
Rear Admiral Francis Gregory when a
midshipman, during the wal of 1912.
He attempted single-handed to blow
up a British frigate in the St. Lawrence
by means of a torpedo. Clad only in
his underclothes, with a cord long
enough to reach across the river
fastened by one end round his neck and
attached at the other to the torpedo, he
swan to the vessel.
Although belated by being swept far

her, scrambled up on her rudder, drew
up his torpedo and had begun to attach
it, when he heard the boatswain's pipe:
t"All hands up anchor!"
That meant failure, for she would be
under weigh before he could finish, and
then his undertaking would be impos-
sib.e; so he slipped back into the wa
ter unperceived, and still towing his
dangerous companion, swan back to
the American shore.
"That was the heroic part of the I'M
dertaking," says Mr. Benjamin; 'the
boy part followed. He was obliged to
remain in concealment until night
fall, and during the interval he
ruminated in disgust upon the failure
of his expedition until he made up his
mind he would get some personal graft
fication, if nothing else, out of It.
$50, having discovered an abandoned
lime-kiln near by, he lugged his tor
pedo there, packed in stones and brick
over it, and in the silence of night fred
it! The CONSERVATION which the ter
rife explosion created throughout the
surrounding country was immense, and
the keen enjoyment thereof by Mid
shipman Gregory went far to console
him for his earlier disappointment"
