WOMAN HAS RECORD IN NAVY
Served Three Years in the War OF
1912 on the Frigate Con-
atitutiOn.

At least one woman has served in the
United States navy. But, according TO
Edgar Stanton Maclay, writing in the Blue
jacket. she has the role to herself. Her
real name was Louise Baker and having
enlisted as a marine she served throughout
the war Of 1912 on the famous frigate Con-
stltution.
For nearly three years" she says, II
passed for and performed the duties of a
marine during which time 1 was in three
severe engagements and never absented
myself from my post in time of danger
have, like others of the ships crew, freely
associated with my shipmates, both at sea
and on shore.
And yet as extraordinary as II may
appear l have not the most distant idea
that q single soul on board ever had the
slightest suspicion of my sex. have thor
oughly studied the memoirs of Miss De-
borah Sampson (who, disguised as a man,
served in the continental army during the
revolution without her identity being dis
covered) and by strict adherence to the
precautionary means Nv which she was
enabled to avoid an exposure of her sex
l also was enabled to conceal mine"
The Constitution engaged in three of the
most important single ship actions of the
nineteenth century: That with the Guer-
rierre, the Java and the double action with
the Cyane and Levant
Speaking of the action with the Guerrero,
Miss Baker says: II was all this time in
the top, plying my faithful musket with the
best success whenever the smoke would
permit me to see a bluejacket of the enemy.
In the heat of the action a grapeshot struck
and splintered the butt of my musket. 1t
was noticed by one of my comrades who
stood within few feet Of me, who, pat
ting me on the shoulder, exclaimed:
Never mind 1t. George. You have won
laurels sufficient to recommend you to the
pretty girls when you return to port"
