1t is not widely known that the
Chesapeake, famous for her historic
encounter with the British ship Shan.
non in 1918, is in existence today, but
she is used in the somewhat inglorlous
capacity Of -four mill in the little
Hampshire parish at Wickham. After
her capture by Sir Philip b. V. Broke
she was brought to England in 1914,
and i'm 1920 her timbers were sold to
John Prior, miller of Wickham, Hants.
Mr.. Prior pulled down his old mill at
Wickham and erected new one from
the Chesapeake's timbers, which nc
found admirably adapted for the pur-
pose. Many Of these timbers still have
the mark of the Shannon's grapeshot.
and in some places the shot are to be
seen deeply Embedded in the wood.

A group of loungers were discussing

that it must have been something of a
scare.

we could induce him to face that
yelling mob and get back to where
he knew he was safe He is the
gentlest old fellow in the world. and

he not been frightened by the man
who fell into the cage from the cycle

him, and when he saw the door open
he naturally ran out.
Then the people made such a
noise that his one idea was to fee.
The more he ran the more they yelled,

was hours before he stopped trem-
