Telling of old citizens of the Navy
Yard, Mr.. Davis said MIR. Small
wood was one of the first of the city's
merchants, being mostly engaged in
the lumber business. He owned one
of the wharves on the Anacostia River
near the foot of Fourth street. and
was actively engaged in many other
things. He was a director In one of
the banks; was an incorporation of the
Washington City Canal which was
expected by its projectors to be a
mine of wealth to the stockholders
and a source of great benefit to the
city; was one of the incorporators of
the Navy Yard Bridge Co., which built
the first bridge over the Anacostia
after the two bridges across that
stream were destroyed during the in
vasion of the city by the British In
1914; was one of the managers of the
public lottery, authorized by the city
government for raising funds for the
building of public schoolhouses and of
the City Hall, and was mayor of
Washington from 1919 to 1922, and
again from June to September. 1924.
He died in 1924. His daughter mar

most exciting of recent naval
tales. The ships commander, Won
Mueller, has gained tremendous fame
for his daring raids and for his ro-
mantle escape from the Allies, after
he was forced to beach his defeated
cruiser on the CoralS near the CocoS
Isles. During all the activities of the
raider, Capt. Lauterbach filed the
dual role of navigator and prize-of-
ficer under Won Mueller. 1t was the
captain who knew where rich Eng
lish and French cargoes were to be
found. 1t was the captain who could
direct the privateer into calm, hidden
lagoons when, after a sudden success
full attack upon a British base, British
warships came hot on the Emden's
trail.
It was then that, according to the
captain. the Emden aided other Ger

squadron, thus making the coast
clear for raiding. The Emden turned
south through the Dutch Islands to

Near Cocos they took the British
6 ,000-ton steamer Export, and Lau-
terbach, as prize officer, was placed in
charge of her to convoy the Emden
to its next retreat. Mueller went into
the harbor of Cocos: Lauterbach
waited nearby. He waited six weeks,

bridge like a captive bear, his blue
eyes squirting anxiously at the empty
horizon.
He did not know that faster and

behind Cocos until the German craft

bound, but the Smallwood home and
Smallwood's wharf and lumber yard

story a start, / will quote from a
paper read by Madison Davis before
the Columbia Historical Society No
vember -, 1900, on THE Navy Yard
Section During the Life of the Rev.
William Ryland." Mr.. Davis said:
I'm looking over the many inter
esting contributions to the history of
the Federal City that have been made
from time TO time in the daily papers
and in other periodicals, as well as
those embraced in the proceedings of
the Columbia Historical Society, /
have been somewhat surprised that
little or nothing is said of the eX

of the city, or of any of its old resi-
dents who, by their talents. virtues, or
peculiarities of character, should have
rendered that section memorable.
