CONFEDERATE NAVAL HEROES

! Judge A. o. Wright of Jacksonville

day an illustrated lecture on the Con-
/ federate navy which was one of alb
sorbing interest. 1t was the lecturers

tie Of the heroic achievements of the
sea fighters of the Confederacy who
were at the start without any proper
ships and without facilities for build
ing them or obtaining supplies and
equipment. opposed to them was the
| largest and most powerful navy in the
world. TO show the difference be-
tween the two branches of the Con-
federate service. as they are treated
in history, Judge Wright compared the
written record of General Robert E.
Lee with that of his brother. Sidney
Smith Lee. The latter is scarcely
known in history although Judge
Wright declares his career prior to the
outbreak of the war was as brilliant
as that of his more distinguished
brother mad that he made fine rec
orr in the Confederate navy. Without
any proper appliances for building
ships. the Confederacy constructed and
commissioned the first ironclad that
ever engaged in sea fight. The Con-
federate navy also has the honor of
having invented and first used the
submarine torpedo. It was the first
navy to sink hostile ship with a sub
marine. That was the United States
sloop Of war Honsatonic, which was
sunk off Charleston by the submarine

Lieutenant George f. Dixon. This
brave officer and his crew went will

During the search for the city's lands instituted

payment for the land was in all $49142 of which
Kings County paid s2S377 for the Concourse.
The question Of fixing the lines according to the
commissioners maps of 1875 proved an interesting
