experiences aboard ship. New scenes
now opened to my view. Pains were
taken by'th officers of the marines to
instruct me in the manual exercises.
My good fortune in having for my COM
mander one Of the most humane and
experienced officers in the American
Navy was much in my favor, as the re-
spect entertained for him and the under
officers caused the utmost harmony to
prevail among the crew." The particu-

was William 8. Bush, first lieutenant Of
marines, who was shot through the head
and instantly killed a few days later
when the Constitution fought the Brit
ish frigate Guerrero.

Constitution sailed from Boston on the
cruise in which Miss Brewer began her
service in our Navy. She records that
she suffered from seasickness for the
first few days, but thereafter expert
enced no discomforts Of that character

1t was when the Constitution returned
to Boston after this brilliant victory
that Miss Brewers disguise was put to
