There was an exceptionally high
nervous strain on both the officers and
crew of the Leander during this chase
after the Constitution. And well might
there be. Sir George had been espe-
cially delegated to catch this ship.
The Leander had been built. equipped,
ofiicered and manned for this purpose,
and was stationed off Boston harbor,
with explicit orders to keep Old Iron
sides in that port or capture her If she
attempted to come out. The Constitu-
ton had escaped. and Sir George had
received the first great shock to his
nervous system. which was reflected
by every member of the ships CON-
pany. Disgrace awaited him il he
now failed to catch the fleeing Yankee
How great was this nervous strain
can better be appreciated when one
recalls that, a few weeks later. when
the Leander had the Constitution
within her grasp off the west coast Of
Africa, and again the latter miracu-
lousy escaped. Sir George committed
suicide.
BY some means unknown the Amer
lean prisoners aboard the Leander
learned Of this high nervous tension
among the officers and crew., and
Amos Whipple devised q plan to work
on it to his country's advantage and
with weapon peculiarly his own,
namely, his thunderous voice. Know
ing that the officers quarters were di-
rectly over that section Of the hold
in which the prisoners were confined,
Amos conceived the plan OF keeping
up a relay system" of singing that
would prevent the officers from get
ting their necessary sleep, and no one
realized better than Amos Whippie,
Esquire. of Berkshire Hills, Mass, that
sleep was one of the prime essentials
for the proper performance Of duty.
His plan was to break up the officers
sleep, which, in addition to the al
ready exceptional strain upon their
nerves, Amos had every reason to be-
lieve would ultimately reduce them to
nervous wrecks. This plot was car
ried out with extraordinary initial
success. 1t certainly shattered the
nerves OF some OF the officers. and

than charitable to presume that he
was mentally unbalanced when he
committed the act of self-destruction
1t did not require the American
prisoners aboard the Leander long to
complete their plans for this cam
paign of nerve destruction. Like true
Yankees having definite object in
view, they began with a system" and
that system was to form relay Of
singers and noisemakers SO they
could keep up the disturbance all
through the night with undiminished
vigor. Another factor materially aid
ing the success of this singular bat

British officers, after retiring from
their night watches, INDUCED in a

varibly came within earshot of Amos

Tilted in love affair, our Jove-
voiced hero determined to drown his
chagrin In or on the sea, so he made
his way to Boston and enlisted on

1914. About the same day the cele-
brated American frigate Constitution
sailed from the same port on her third
and most brilliant cruise of this war.
1t seems that the admiralty was par
ticularly DESTROYS Of catching Old
Ironsidcs and had built frigate
armed. equipped and manned espe-
cially for this purpose. This ship,
the Leander, Capt Sir George Col
lier, was lying of Boston harbor when
the Constitution escaped as just
stated. Sir George was one Of the
ablest commanders in the British
navy of that period. He had q STAN

to aiding the capture Of this mischiev-

with this extreme responsibility rest

nervous strain on all aboard when the

harbor, for the sole purpose OF dealing
with the Constitution. AS an incen-

r. started into the fray for indie
pendence the nation has lauded
many heroes, one of the latest
being Sergt, Alvin c. York. the Ten
nessee elder who distinguished himself
in the world war and has been deco
rated with almost all the medals of
the allied nations. But Sergt. York's
great exploit in capturing German
stronghold is rivaled by that of another
American, Amos Whipple, back in 1915,
and while Amos has been somewhat
overlooked in the modern feats of war
time bravery, his record will always
stand out as one OF the unusual Incl
dents of battle.
Sergt. York's exploit was accom-
plished in the open field, behind the
enemy's lines. where he was exposed
to the gravest danger. Whipple
achieved his brilliant victory while he
and his companions were prisoners
aboard one of the most powerful
frigates then in the British navy. Not
only was he behind the encmy's lines"
but completely within them, packed
down in the cable tier five decks below
the spar deck. where one would sup
pose he was at the mercy of the foe.
York fought with rifles, automatic pis-
tolls and hand-grenades; Whipple en-
ployed a weapon of warfare which
rivaied in it's ingenuity all the gas
bombs, liquid fire. and other many
new" devices brought into use in the
late war. And while he for the first
twenty-hour hours of the battle scored
complete victory over the British, he
was finally overcome by the forty-two-
pound cannon balls the enemy used
against him and his brave companions.
There were SO many points of SINH
larity in the temperaments of Alvin
York and Amos Whipple that we might
believe one was the prototype of the
other. Reared in the mountains, York
became u sedate elder in church
which had for its basic creed opposi-
tton to lighting or war in ANY shape,
form or manner" and down to the
moment he entered into the United
States military service all who knew
York believed that he was thoroughly
imbued with the 'peace-at-any price"
principle.
Amos Whipple was reared In the
rustic loneliness Of the Berkshire
. hills, in western Massa chusetts, which
at that period (17s0-1S14) were on the
very outskirts of New England civil
isation. Like York. Amos had scarce
ly crossed the border of his native
county until he went into the war
service of his country. AS York was
an elder In his church, SO Amos was the
leader of that most influential feature
in early New England social life.
!. namely. the meeting house choir"
York could make his voice heard only
few times n year, when the elders
were called in official conclave, but
Amos vocal influence on the congrc-
every Sunday-and sometimes on one
or two weekdays between. And, like
York, had any one predicted In the
good year 1914 that Amos Whipple
had any lighting blood in him that
prophet would have been laughed out
Of the county"
And yet, singular as 1t may seem, 1t
was Amos whipple's voice that be-
came weapon of war which van
auished the entire crew of several
hundred men aboard the British
frigate Leander. OF course, It was
PHENOMENAL voice. else 1t could not
have accomplished such phenomenal
result. Amos was the blacksmith OF
