A HISTORIC BELL
nNE would hardly expect to find an
~ loot Of lnictc,.i1, tarest IN ca 1,rcas.a

nNE would hardly expect to find an OBJ
~ iect of historic interest in so prosaic
place as a New England milan object
older than the oldest title of the English
peerage, an object made before the English
Parliament was formed. Yet such an object
is in daily use in factory at Saylesville,
Rhode Island. 1t is bell, whose history is
most interesting one. Around the bell,
about four inches from the crown, is this
superscnption, 4Peter Secest Amsterdam,
Anno 1868, me fecH."
The date, together with other well authen-
ticated facts, leads to the belief that the bell
was long used in a convent belfry in England
and was taken therefrom for public use dur
ing the Reformation. But the connecting
link between its life in the Old World and its
advent to America is the famous naval battle
between the Guerriere and the Constitution.
The Guerriere, a helpless wreck, was roll
ing in the trough of the sea; while her brave
but defeated commander, Captain Dacres of
the Royal navy, on the deck of the American
frigate, the Constitution, was offering his
sword to gallant Captain Hull.
The two officers had been friends in time
of peace, having often exchanged hospitali
ties at the Mediterranean ports, and now
Hull's magnanm1ty shone out.
sI'll not take your sword, Dacres,' said
he. keep it.
In the meanwhile the boats of the Consti-
tuition were busily engaged in Transporting
the crew of the defeated ship to the deck of
the victor. A midshipman reported to the
First Lieutenant that the ships bell had
been carried away by grapeshot from the
Guerriere, and that there was no way of an
nouncing the time to the ships company.
At that moment the Guerriere gave a sue
cession of heavy plunges, and the clear tones
OF a tlne bell rang over the wafer
GO get the Englishman's bell said the
Lieutenant to the midshipman. There will
be no further use for it on board that craft.
The Guerriere surrendered at seven o clock
in the evening of August 19, 1912, and at
eight Q clock the same evening Peter Secests
bell, in sonorous tones rang out the hour on
board "Old Ironsides."
With the lapse of time, the bell, amid the
confusion and debris common to a great
navy yard, became misplaced, lost its identi-
ty, and was thrust carelesslv to one side. 1t
found its way to the scrapheap, was after
ward sold by the United States. and finally
came to rest in its present quarters. .
