quantities, and preventing the creation
of an appreciate Confederate navy.
The gunboats on the Mississippi river
enabled the army to split the Confed-
| eracy in two and the ships of Farragut
secured for the North the two strategic
points of New Orleans and Mobile.
The Monitor and Merrimac affair, the
deeds of Farragut, Porter, Foote, Ro-
wan and S. p. Lee; the blowing up of
the ram Albemarle by the reckless
| Cushing, the sinking of the Alabama
by the Kearsarge, are but "A few of the
brilliant naval incidents of the Civil
War.
Between the Civil War and the war
with Spain, the navy was frequently
engaged in small actions with various
foes. The navy had encounters with
the savages of Formosa, the Korean
forts, the Samoans, and other savages
from time to time, with uniform sue
cess. Twice the Isthmus of Panama
was occupied by American sailors and
marines to preserve order.
The war with Spain, with it's deci-
sive victories at Manila and at San
tiago; the fight with the Samoans in
1899. and the Boxer war of 1900, are
fresh in the memory Of all. In all, the
United States navy maintained the high
standards set a century ago.
Today the United States navy is the
second in power among the navies of
the world, Great Britain being the first
place as regards numbers of ships and
men, but not surprising MS in efficiency.
The future Of the U. s. Navy is pro-
phetic of world supremacy.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-07-17

small engagements took place with the
pirates and the savages, in every one of
which the Americans triumphed.
During the Mexican war the navy
bombarded Vera Cruz, and opened the
way for the Amy to take the town and
march thence to the city of Mexico.
And it was vessels of the navy, under
Commodores Stockton and Sloat, which
carried the Stars and Stripes to Cali
fornia and co-operated with Fremont in
winning the Golden West for the United
States.
About this time the decadence of
what may be termed the Age of Sails
began in the navy The splendid sail
ing ships of the first three score years
of the American navy's existence hence
forth gradually disappeared with the
advent of the Age of Steam. Sails were
still retained, however, along with
steam, and the splendid steam frigates,
like the Wabash, Pensacola, Minnesota,
Hartford and others, built about 1856
81, were universally admired as the fin,
est warships of their class, if not of
any class, in the world. They were re-
garded as well-nigh peerless ships until
the coming of the Age of Armor-clad,
which dawned on that morning in
Hampton Roads, when the Monitor
fought the Merrimac during the Civil
War, the bloodiest war our navy has
ever had.
1t is generally conceded by the well
informed that to the navy was due the
victory of the North in that great con-
test. The blockade of the Southern
States, over the vast coast line from
the capes of the Chesapeake to Calves
ton, Texas, was the greatest in history,
and the few blockade runners that man
aged to get through it's rigid Gordon
were unable materially to prolong the
struggle. This blockade paralyzed the
South, by preventing the shipment of
It's cotton, which would have brought
It money, preventing the importation of
arms and munitions of war in large

fighter, who, however, had small oppor>
tunity to distinguish himself, on account
of the few vessels with which he was
provided. They were all merchantmen,
armed as men of<war. One of them,
however, the sloop-of- war Ranger, bold
ly sailed across the Atlantic, and with
cool impudence ravaged the shores Of
the British Isles, capturing and de-
stroying scores of the enemy's mer-
chantmen and a couple of small men
! of-war before her career was ended.
The greatest exploit of the Revolu-
ton, however, was the capture of the
British frigate Scraps, off Flamborough
Head, England, by the American fri,
gate Bonnie Homme Richard, under the
command of John Paul Jones, America s
first great sea warrior. The story of
this terrible battle, of Jones s reply to
the question by the commander of the
Scraps as to whether he had struck
his colors: ''No; we have just begun
to fight! - and then fighting on to via
tory while his own ship was on fire
and leaking, every schoolboy knows
well.
It was not until after the War of the
Revolution that any regular men f-war
worthy of the name were built for the
United States navy, several 44-gun fri
gates, such as the famous Constitution,
the Constellation, the United States,
the President, and others, with several
smaller vessels, having been built to-
wards the end Of the 18th century It
was fortunate that they were, for about
1894, although no formal declaration of
war was made, the United States was

tagging to this day. During the wa of
1912, the American navy abandoned the
Mediterranean sea for time, and the
AIgerians recommended their depreda-
lions, but in 1915 Decatur went there
with a squadron and gave the pirates
such drubbing that from that day to
this the commerce of all nations has
traversed the Barbary Coast un-
molested.
It was in the war with Great Britain
in 1912, however, that the American
navy startled the world. British ships
and seamen, ship for ship and man for
man, were generally deemed invincible.
The American navy taught the world
otherwise. England was in an uproar
when news came periodically of the
capture of one British man-of-war after
another by the American. The most
notable sea fights of that period were
those in which the British frigates
Guerrero and Java were captured sing
ly by the Constitution, which later cap
tured both the Cyane and the Levant
in the same engagement; the Mace
DOMAIN captured by the United States;
the Alert by the Essex; the sloop-of-
war Frolie by the Wasp; the Penguin
by the Hornet: and the British fleets
on Lakes Erie and Champlain, disas,
trously defeated by Commodores Perry
and McDonough respectively.
These exploits astonished friend and
foe alike, and in every subsequent war
the American navy has distinguished it
self by fighting qualities fully equal to
those displayed against the Barbary
pirates and the British navy.
From 1915 until the Mexican war,
there was no great naval battle fought
by the Americans, whose navy, how
ever, was kept constantly busy in sup.
pressing the West Indian pirates, in
aiding Great Britain in suppressing the
slave trade of the African coast and in
furnishing savage tribes who murdered
our merchant sailors. Several brilliant
