The Old Frluste Saratoga Sails He,
Last Voyage.

Another naval vessel has sailed her
last voyage and Is now awaiting the
orders of the government as to what
shall be done with her, says the New
York Post. She is the old frlgate Sar.
atoga, which, since 1889, has been
used by the Pennsylvania nautical
school and is now tied up at the
League island yard. An investigation
was recently made 10 find how much
repairing would be necessary to make
her a safe %sea-going vessel and some
parts Of her were found to be beyond
repair. The shape of the bow of the
Saratoga has been the main cause, the
officials say, of her wrenched and
crumbled condition. It does not cut
the waves. but rather breasts them.
Early this year, when Commander
Charles N. Atwater, retired, superin.
tendent of the school, and 80 students
were sailing the old frigate about 200
miles north Of the Bermuda islands,
they encountered a heavy storm and
every wave seemed to nearly tear the
ship apart. They decided to return to
League island for repairs and there 1t
was found that her bow had been
wrenched three inches out of plumb.
The Saratoga was the first of a mum.
Der Of sloops-of-war built in the old
navy yard at Kittery, Me-, in 1912, and
was equipped with four guns. The
following year Commodore Perry hoist
ed his pennant on the Saratoga and
sailed in her to the coast of Africa to
help In putting down the slave trade.
In February, 1S47, Admiral Farragut
took command of her while he wal a
captain. For a year the vessel was on
blockade duty off the coast of Mexico
and then returned north. She was in
Commodore Perry's feet when that
officer went to Japan in 1852 to open
up the ports of that country to Amer
lean commerce.
Various captains commanded her
during the civil war and she barely
escaped destruction in Hampton roads
when the Cumberland was sunk. Dur.
ing the late '70s and early SOS she
was used as a training ship, one of
her commanders being Rear Admiral
Robley d. Evans, at that time a lieu.
tenant commander and now in com.
mand Of the Atlantic feet at the
Jamestown exposition. On Sept. II,
1889, she was turned over to the Penn.
sylvania nautical school. The Sara
toga may be used as a receiving ship.

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
p~ortance. Defahce Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength al a stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.
