Somewhere" at sea silently
| spreading through waters that hide
| the twentieth century pirate-the
| submarines flotilla OF American
| destroyers.
On them, above all else, depends
| the turn of the tide in favor of the
| allies.
| AS, more than a century ago, the
seas were cleared of pirates who had
cNacted tribute from all the mari
time powers, so now is the Amer
! lean Navy taking the lead to clear
| the seas of new brand of pirate,
| the representatives of the German
emperor who first sink their victims
ships and fire on their unarmed men,
women ard children, and who expect
| by these methods later to exact trib-
ute from the world.
one hundred years ago it was the
new nation, America, that ended
! piracy, and opened shipping safely
| 10 the world. And it was Commo-
! dore Edward Preble who guided the
american fleet to victory against the
Tripolitans.
! Now another fleet is in action. One
! OF our destroyers is named the Pre-
/ bic in honor of the man whose SER
vice was second to none in the wars
of other days.
10 lliS Destroyer GTeDlc TO make
such history as did the man Pre-
| BILE?
| AS Bravo as Ever
| No war of history has offered more
! opportunity for distinction. Naval
! warfare now is different than ever
| before. But American naval officers
are as valiant, and as efficient as at
! any other period of history.
The Destroyer Preble was attach
ed to the Pacific fleet before the
United States entered the world war.
She makes 2S.3 knots, and carries
two 3-inch so caliber rapid fire gums,
| five 6 FOUNDER rapid fire guns, and
two 1S-inch torpedo tubes. Her
complement is three officers and
SeVenty-two men. The Preble's dis
placement is 420 tons, she is 245
feet long and 23 feet beam. Her
engines are 1000 horsepower, with
twin screw propellers.
The part she will play in this war,
the records that may be written down
in the new chapter of the history of
warfare, will be made doubly inter-
esting by recalling some of the deeds
of the illustrious officer whose name
she bears.
Edward Preble, born in Portland,
Maine, in 1861, grew into strong,
athletic, and adventure-l loving boy,
and against the wishes of his father
followed his plan to become a ailor
by leaving school after three years
and going to sea.
His first experience in naval SER
vice came in 1879, when he was ap-
pointed midshipman in the state snip
Protector, twenty-siX guns. On her
first cruise the Protector defeated in
battle the Admiral Duff, thirty-siX
nd 1Df 70. T. "a,
battle with two British ships. Some
months later Preble entered as first
lieutenant on the Winthrop.
How Prcblc Proved Himself
Preble's Valor first became gen.
orally known because of an exploit
while on the Winthrop. In the night
Captain Little of that ship with
Lieutenant Preble and forty of his
crew, decided to board a brig lying in
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-03-25

ish colors, which he converted into
the ketch Intrepid, which took a
prominent part in later battles.
With six gunboats and two bomb
vessels borrowed from the king oil
Nagles, Commodore Preble attacked
the batteries and shipping in the
harbor of Tripoli on August 3. Fff-
teen minutes after the signal to
attack was given the bomb-vessels
were shelling the city. AS the vari-
Gus divisions of the fleet signed out
and attacked the division of the en-
emy's force assigned to them, Com
modore Preble in the Constitution
kept the enemy's flotilla in disorder
and assisted his various units, being
a large part of the time under the
direct fire of the shore batteries at
close range.
Although the engagement lasted
two and one half hours, only one
man was killed, and his death oc-
cured through treachery. Three en-
emy boats were captured, and three
sent to the bottom. Forty seven of
the crew of the captured boats were
killed, and on shore large number
of persons were killed.
On August z, when the bashaw
still failed to give any indication OF
being ready to treat with the Am
orleans, Commodore Preble began Il
second assault with the bomb-Ves-
sells and schooners, shelled the town
and silenced battery of seven guns
Before Commodore Preble reach
ed Tripoli, the Philadelphia, which
had been sent on ahead, had run
aground while chasing an enemy
boat in the harbor, and was cap
tured by the Tripolitans and the
crew imprisoned.
Following Preble's second assault
on the city, the bashaw sent word
that he would accept $500 each for
the ransom of the prisoners, total
of about $150,000, and terminate the
war. Preble offered to pay 100000
thinking to avoid further bloodshed.
the bashaw refused, and awaited an
other attack.
Preble attacked on the 23rd, with
out results. On the 27th the COM
modore sailed into the harbor in
the Constitution with a picked crew
of volunteers and routed the en-
emy gunboats and silenced many of
the shore batteries. The attack was
renewed on the third of September.
and following this Preble decided
to send a fire-ship into the harbor to
destroy the flotilla. The attempt
failed, and the heroic Captain Som
ers and his crew lost their lives.
Shortly after this attack Commo-
dore Preble was relived by Commo-
dore Barron, and sailed for the
United States. Congress voted him
the thanks of the nation and an en-
blematic medaS was presented to
him by the president. The follow
ing year the campaign Commodore
Preble had begun ended in peace
with Tripoli and the navy returned
home.
