Fort C . F . Smith ( Fort Smith , Montana ) Fort C . F . Smith was a military post established in the Powder River country by the United States Army in Montana Territory on August 12 , 1866 , during Red Cloud ' s War . Established by order of Col . Henry B . Carrington , it was one of five forts proposed to protect the Bozeman Trail against the Oglala Lakota ( Sioux ) , who saw the trail as a violation of the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie . The fort was abandoned in 1868 and burned by the Sioux under Red Cloud . The U . S . Army was ordered to build forts to protect the Bozeman trail after travel had become hazardous for any but the largest and best - armed parties . Colonel Henry B . Carrington was given command of the effort , planning Fort C . F . Smith at the crossing of the Bighorn River , Fort Phil Kearny to the east of the Bighorn Mountains , and Fort Reno on the Powder River . A fourth fort on the Clark Fork River was never built . Originally named Fort Ransom , the post was renamed in commemoration of Gen . Charles Ferguson Smith . It included a 125 - foot square stockade made of adobe and wood for protection , with bastion s for concentrated defense . Two companies of the 18th Infantry Regiment ( approximately 90 - 100 officers and men ) were stationed at Fort Smith during 1866 , and during 1867 the garrison consisted of 400 men of the 27th Infantry . A large Sioux party unsuccessfully attacked haycutters guarded by 20 soldiers near the Fort in the Hayfield Fight in 1867 . The Army abandoned Fort C . F . Smith as a condition of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 . The site of the fort is located on private land , on what is today the Crow Indian Reservation . It is just outside the town of Fort Smith , Montana . Since most of the fort ' s buildings were made of adobe , as of 2010 the foundations of the structures can still be seen as low mounds rising a foot or two off the pasture . By looking carefully , the arrangement of buildings around the perimeter of the old parade ground can be discerned . A stone monument in the approximate center of the parade ground ( placed in the 1930s ) commemorates the fort . A wooden sign , in poor repair , marks the Bozeman Trail . Fort C . F . Smith was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 . It is included within Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area , with including six contributing sites . Further reading .

Gaius Sosius Gaius Sosius was a Roman general and politician . Gaius Sosius was elected quaestor in 66 BC and praetor in 49 BC . Upon the start of the civil war , he joined the party of the Senate sometimes called optimates by modern scholars ( even though the term belongs to the era of Sulla and Marius ) . Upon the flight of Pompey to Greece , Sosius returned to Rome and submitted to Julius Caesar . After the assassination of Caesar , Sosius joined the party of Mark Antony , by whom in 38 BC he was appointed governor of Syria and Cilicia in the place of Publius Ventidius . As governor , Sosius was commanded by Antony to support Herod against Antigonus the Hasmonean , when the latter was in possession of Jerusalem . In 37 BC , he advanced against Jerusalem and after he became master of the city , Sosius placed Herod upon the throne . In return for this services , he was awarded a triumph in 34 BC , and he became consul along with Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus as his colleague in 32 BC . When civil war broke out between Antony and Octavian , Sosius espoused the cause of Antony and violently attacked Octavian in the senate , for which he was forced to flee to the east . In 31 BC , Sosius commanded a squadron in Mark Antony ' s fleet with which he managed to defeat the squadron of Taurius Rufus – according to Dio 50 . 14 – and put it to flight , but when the latter was reinforced by Marcus Agrippa , Sosius ' s ally Tarcondimotus – the king of Cilicia – was killed and Sosius himself was forced to flee . Dio mistakenly suggests that Sosius died as well , but later affirms he was alive at the battle of Actium . At Actium , Sosius commanded the left wing of the fleet . After the battle , from which he managed to escape , his hiding place was detected and Sosius was captured and brought before Octavian but , at the intercession of Lucius Arruntius , Octavian pardoned him . He returned to Rome and completed his building project on the temple of Apollo Medicus ( begun in 34 BC ) , dedicating it in Octavian ' s name . Unknown sons , but two daughters : Sosia and Sosia Galla , possibly by an Asinia , a Nonia or an Aelia . However the name reappears with Q . Sosius Senecio , ( consul in 99 and 107 ) . and Saint Sosius ( 275 - 305 AD ) . Sosius attended the Ludi Saeculares in 17 according to an inscription CIL 6 . 32323 = ILS 5050 as a quindecimvir .

Battle of Saldanha Bay ( 1781 ) The Battle of Saldanha Bay was a naval action that occurred off the Dutch Cape Colony on 21 July 1781 during the Fourth Anglo - Dutch War . Five Dutch East India Company vessels were captured and another was destroyed by a squadron of Royal Navy warships under the command of commodore George Johnstone . Background . Johnstone had been directed to capture the Dutch settlement at the Cape of Good Hope . However , France had learned of his mission , and his design was frustrated by French admiral the Bailli de Suffren . Suffren was en route to the Indian Ocean , but had been warned by the French marine ministry , and sought to reach the cape before Johnstone . After an indecisive chance encounter between the two fleets in the Cape Verde Islands on 16 April 1781 , Suffren sailed for the cape while Johnstone remained at Porto Praya for repairs . As a result , Johnstone found the Dutch settlement well defended when he arrived there in July and decided against an attack . The Dutch had , as a precaution , directed their westbound merchant fleet , laden with goods , to anchor in Saldanha Bay where they would be concealed from the British fleet . They were under orders to ground and burn their ships if the British were to appear ; however they were not vigilant in their watches . One of Johnstone ' s frigates , flying French colours , intercepted a Dutch merchantmen that had left the bay several days earlier , heading east . From this ship Johnstone learned of the whereabouts of the Dutch fleet . Battle . Bearing off Saldanha Bay Johnstone sighted the Dutch fleet , and entered the bay flying French colors . He then raised the British ensign and opened fire , totally surprising the Dutch . The Dutch could not escape and decided to destroy their ships rather than let them fall into British hands ; so they cut their cables , loosed their top sails , and tried to drive them on shore . Once this was done they attempted to torch the ships , and the British , now in their boats , attempted to extinguish the fires . This was successful , and the prizes they took were the " Dankbaarheid " , " Perel " , " Schoonkop " and " Hoogcarspel " , most of them armed with around 24 guns . The " Middleburg " was however burnt furiously and was left alone . She blew up after very nearly colliding with two of the prizes . A pinnace laden with sails of the captured ships was discovered hidden away and also captured . By the end of the day another two pinnaces were captured but they were given back to the Dutch by Johnstone . The prizes were sent back to England with some difficulty after some fighting in the English Channel . " Hoogcarpel " was attacked by a French frigate but succeeded in getting to Mount ' s Bay where she was escorted . The " Perel " was also attacked by two French privateers but succeeded in escaping .
HNoMS Rap ( 1873 ) The Norwegian warship HNoMS " Rap " was a torpedo boat built in 1873 . She was one of the first torpedo boats to carry the self - propelled Whitehead torpedo after being converted to use them in 1879 , the same year the Royal Navy ' s entered service . The name " Rap " ( " Rapp " in the modern spelling ) translates as " quick " - a fitting name for a fast attack boat . The " Rap " was ordered from Thornycroft shipbuilding company , England , in either 1872 or 1873 , and was built at Thornycroft ' s shipyard at Church Wharf in Chiswick on the River Thames . Managing a speed of , she was one of the fastest boats afloat when completed . The Norwegians initially planned to arm her with a spar torpedo , but this may never have been fitted . " Rap " was briefly used for experiments with a towed torpedo before finally being outfitted with launch racks for the new self - propelled Whitehead torpedoes in 1879 . Her initial commanding officer was First Lieutenant Koren , who also designed the torpedo racks . Although " Rap " had been built several years earlier , the first true torpedo boat built to carry self - propelled torpedoes was the British HMS " Lightning " , and she was in fact fitted with such torpedoes before " Rap " . The first warship of any kind to carry self - propelled torpedoes was the of 1873 . With a displacement of less than ten tons , " Rap " was very limited in terms of endurance and seaworthiness , and over the next three decades " Rap " would be followed by many other Norwegian torpedo boats of ever - increasing size and complexity . She was finally stricken from the fleet in 1920 , long after she had become obsolete . Today , the " Rap " is exhibited at the Naval Museum in Horten , Norway . " Rap " also gave name to a class of six MTBs built for the Royal Norwegian Navy in the 1950s .
