acted as provisionary master, devoting
his time and attention strictly to the |
charge. His years of rigid training I'M
Ger the jurisdiction of New York state

Groton Saturday to see the launching
| of the Worcester. April 16, 1903,
| large party from here went to Groton
to witness the launching of the Mime
sofa. On either side of the bow of the
| big vessel above the anchor hawse
pipes were attached two enormous
shields four feet high and nearly as
wide. They were the regulation ma
tional shield with broad bars of red and
white, with blue field of stars on top.
When the great ship moved these
shields were torn off because of being
! attached to the launching stand. A
| JeWett. City man secured one of them
from the bottom of the ways where it
fell and has it today, kept among other
souvenirs of that sort. 1t is doubtful
if anyone else has so valuable a remin-
der of the launching Of the Inflated
