';ia9 History Of a ship and
Yacht Called Dorothea.

Among the vessels assigned to the
naval militia is one with a history.
IL seems that many years ago, when
it was the custom of the insurance UNI
derwriters to put up at auction yes
sells that had been long overdue and
not heard from, a young apprentice
in Philadelphia happesed to attend
one Of these auctions at which large
ship named the Dorothea was put up
for sale.
The vessel had taken aboard very
Glpable cargo, which would go with
the ship to the successful bidder, but
the very fact that the property was
so valuable had kept the underwriters
from selling the craft until long after
1t had become generally believed that
she was total wreck
Consequently the auctioneer cried
the good ship Dorothea many times
without getting a bid Finally the
young apprentice jokingly bid five dol
lars, as nobody would bid higher, the
vessel and her cargo were knocked
down to him Imagine the astonish.
ment of the maritime world when the
Dorothea was reported sailing into
Delaware bay.
The apprentice sold his prize for
enough to start him in business, and
for years the house thus formed was
one of the leaders in enterprise and re-
sources in the Quaker city. But at
all times the head of the firm and
his family successors made a point
OF owning and operating ship named
the Dorothea, which name also was
given the Oldest daughter in each
succeeding generation.
Shortly before the Spanish war, how
ever, the third head Of the house was
in failing health, and the only hope
of saving his life, he was advised, was
to live at sea. Accordingly he gave
an order to the Cramps for a large
and luxuriously appointed yacht, to
be called the Dorothea, of course, and
no expense was spared in her construc-
ton and equipment.
Unfortunately, death came to the
owner before his yacht was finally
finished and the government paid a
fancy price for the Dorothea early in
1898.
With the close Of the war there
was no purely naval duty for which
the Dorothea was fitted. and yet the
government did not wish to sell her
because there was no possibility Of
getting price for her anything like
what she had cost she was accord
ingly laid up at the League Island
navy yard until, says the Chicago
Chronicle, the Illinois Naval reserves
succeeded in convincing the navy de-
partment that they were entitled to
her.
