The United States frigate Portsmouth,
one Of the last of the oId-time sea
fighters, is being fitted out at the New
York navy yard for her last sea voy-
age. There is long trip around the
Horn and up the Pacific coast in store
for the old square rubber. and it has
been thought best to have her seams
calked before the journey is begun.
When the necessary repairs have been
made the Portsmouth will set sail for
Seattle, where she is to be converted
into a museum. Up to this year she
has been used as a training ship for
the New Jersey Naval Reserves. but
on the recent practice cruise the Jersey
sailors abandoned her for the more
modern monitor Tonopah. The people
Of San Francisco wanted to own the
