British ship Leopard on the excuse that three
members of her crew were deserters from the
British frigate Melampus.
There had been great negligence in preparing
the Chesapeake for sea and she was in no con.
dition to resist the demands of the commander
of the Leopard. SO when Commodore Barron
cleared the ship for action, the Chesapeake fell
an easy victim to the br0adsldes of the Leopard
and was forced to strike her flag after suffering
a loss of IS wounded and three killed. Then the
Leopard sent a party aboard. seized the three
alleged d~eserters and made off while the dis
graced Chesapeake returned to Norfolk, Va.
Since this incident the Chesapeake had be-
come more and more an object Of dislike In the
navy. The sailors hated her and would not en-
list in her If they could help It, No officer would
serve on her decks If he could avoid 1t, conse-
quently she was differed by juniors who had to
take her because they could do no better.
No wonder then that Lawrence was dismayed
when he was assigned to the Chesapeake. He
begged to remain with the Hornet but his re-
quest was denied. SO in May. 1913, he took COM
mand.
Lawrence found the ship short of officers and
those he had were very young. His first lieu
tenant, August Ludlow, was only twenty-one
and had never before served as first lieutenant
on q frigRte. bis other officers were midship-
men serving as lieutenants. His crew was large
ly made up Of foreigners and one, Portuguese
boatswaIn's mate. was actively preaching dis
senslon because the crew had not been paid
the small amount Of prize money due from the
last cruise.
SO 1t must have been with considerable fore
boding that the young officer prepared to leave
Boston late 10 May, 1913. Outside the harbor It
was known that the British frigate Shannon,
commanded by Capt. Philip Broke, one of the
best officers in the British navy. was lying in
wait for the Chesapeake. Broke was a chival-
rous man and he had written Lawrence a letter
proposing a meeting on equal terms In any lati
tude and longitude at any time he might choose
during the next two months. Unfortunately this
letter never reached Lawrence.
SO on June / the Shannon stood in toward
Presidents Roads. expecting an answer from
Broke's challenge. Lawrence, however. took the

LIQUOR HAUL
MADE BY COAST
GUARD VESSEL
BoWERY RUNS
DOWN BOOZE CARRIER
CONTAINING ALL SORTS OF
coNTRABAND GOODS

Liquor of all sorts and kinds
was captured by Captain H. B.
Bowery on his coast guard patrol
boat last night. As matter of
fact the bootlegger, or leggers,
practically invited capture.
Captain Bowery, on his ship,
was at the coast guard rendez-
vous when he saw launch going
by without any running lights. In
fact, with no lights at all.
Suspicious at once he started
his vessel in pursuit and gave
chase up into the harbor. Playing
the searchlight over the vessel in
the harbor Captain Bowery caught
sight of the other vessel just after
it had been berthed at a wharf.
When the captain and his crew
reached the bootlegger, the cap
tain and associates had flown, but
the liquor was left, and there is
plenty of it.
Making the coast guard launch
fast, the capture was towed into
the basin at the naval station.
This morning when the work of
unloading began il was found that
a costly stock was secured.
The exact number of containers
was not ascertained at that time
but there was quantity of Ron
Cana, Old Rum, Ron Caney and
Rum Extra in five gallon demi-
johns. Aguardiente, Hennessey,
Brandy, Bourne, Bacardi and
Domecq brandy.
In addition to this strong stuff
there was large stock Of Crystal
and Tropical beer and 10 cases of
alcohol with tins containing so
gallons Of alcohol.
One who is familiar with the
selling price of the stuff in Key
West at this time, said that it
would bring between $4,000 and
50. 900.
