= and IT begins with the sailing Of
a ship a hundred years ago last Friday.
It was i'm that second war Of America
with Great Britain in which we won 50
much honor at sea and so little on land.
In the spring Of 1914. when nego,ia-
tons were already under way for the
ending Of the war. a number Of new
sloops. authorized by Congress the year
before. were added TO the navy.
The first to sail was the Frolic. COM

The second was the Peacock under

British Peacock which our Hornet had

The third was the Wasp. commanded
by Johnston Blakeley; named for that
former Wasp which had captured the
British Frolic and later on the same
day had been itself captured by the
