DECATUR'S TTTRILLrJtO EXPLCn tbe rar of Death Waa Carried to the Ilashaw, 11U rrlse I)e. atroyed and a Weave yard Fatteaed. In all the stories of fighting, whether fact or fiction, no single ono car r es moro thrills to the chapter than the exploit uf Lieutenant Stephen Decatur In detroylrg tho captured American frigate Philadelphia in the harbftr of Tripoli nearly a century ago. The frigate had beon doing polb e duty on the Trlpol Itan roast, was caught .n a storm and driven upon uncharted rock In the har bor. Captain William Balnbrldge and bis crew being captured by the piratical natives and held for re.nsom. By aome means the captlvea got word to Commo dore Preble, commanding tbe American fleet In neighboring waters, together w.th a plan for the recapture or destruction of the Philadelphia. Lieutenant Decatur, then a youth of 28. volunteered to com mand the hazardous expedition. While the daring plan was being developed a bit of luck dropped Into the hands of the American. A Trlpolltan 'ketch," tha mastlco, bearing a load or handsome g rls as a gift from Die bashaw, to tha sultan of Turkey, ran Into the fleet as It lay anchored off the coast of Slolly. What became of the lovely maidens his tory refuses to relate. Aa for the ketch It waa renamed the Intrepid and was assigned the duty of carrying the Amer icans who were to undertake the destruc tion of the Philadelphia. The enterprise was one of tha most daring, tha most dramatic, efforts In the annals of sea fight ng. There were no submarines, no torpedo boats nor destroyers, no sub merged mine not even steam! The seventy-four men who volunteered for serv ice with Decatur could not hope to speed the engines and run away from disaster. They must needs rely upon the benignity of tho wind and the composure of the sailors In the hour of greatest danger. Tho Hlrcn, under Lieutenant Ptewart, was ordered to escort the Intrepid as far as was deemed safe, and this doughty little vessel was repainted and rigged to look aa much Ilk a Maltese merchant man as possible. Aa for the Intrepid itself, it was a typical Trlpolltan freighter, with ample cabin space, and the Turka In the harbor had not yet learned of the mastlco' capture and the fata of her fair cargo. The place tho women had occupied was filled with ex plosives and shells, for there was a double purpoee In the minds of Preble and Decatur. There was no such thing then aa a torpedo; but the firevhlp, or "Infernal," aa it was called, was some times employed. It was Decatur's idea that If hi expedition should prove a failure ha could at least blow up his own ship and thereby wreck tha Phila delphia. It would mean the almost cer tain death of every man on board, but that cost had been counted as a normal part of the desperately glorious game. la th Harbor of Tripoli. It wag Id o'clock on tha night of February 18, 1804. when the Intrepid, having left tha Siren about three, miles behind, lifted Its drags and sailed boldly Into tha harrow channel between the rocks and shoals that protect the treach erous harbor of Tripoli. A half-irrown moon hung In the clear sky and a stiff breeso against the beam set the sails In a beautiful swell of canvas. Aa the daring vessel advancod the breose grad ually died down until tho motion, waa scarcely perceptible. Slowly tha ketch stole along until there arose out of the mist before it the shadowy outline of a great ship. Its foremast had not yet been ruined and It was bare of rlgghig as It rocked at anchor, right nbreas: of the town. Between It and the shore lay two of the Infumous coraalre, five gunboats and a host of smaller craft. Di rectly at Its back loomed the fort with its murderous batteries, ghostly In the pale moonlight. It waa with difficulty the Americana repressed a shout of de light. On the open deck of the Intrepid not more than a doaen men were to be seen, the others lying in the shadows of the bulwarks or concealed by the masts and rigging. Decatur stood close to a Sicilian named Catalano, aa he steered for the frigates bow. where th ketch would be out of reach of those American guns that 111 Turk who have employed, only, too gladly, for tha destruction of American patriots. When only -about luO yards In tervened between th two vessels the lookout on th Philadelphia became aware of lh near approach of a ahlp and a challenge was Issued. Catalano called back thut he had com on trading voy age from Malta, that he had encountered terrific utorma and had lost hi anchor. He begged the privilege ot riding by the ship until morning, since he could not make his vessel fast and dared not pro ceed into Ui midst of the forest of ships In th Inner harbor. A crowd had gath ered on the deck of the Philadelphia and many a rude Jok was hurled across the water, as the pilot waa compelled to enu merate th Items of hi Imaginary cargo, While this conversation waa going on th wind changed suddenly, hurling th In trepid In the direction of the frigate's atern. There, In full rang of th guns that might hav shattered It In leas tlm than la required for th telling. It lay In a suddenly tranquil sea, absolutely be calmed. In another moment th sailor on board th Philadelphia manned a boat and cam to th rescu with a line that waa passed to th ketch a boat from th ketch rowed up to the frigate and attached an. other Una to ita fore-chain. Cautlouary the men on the Intrepid drew In the line until the dating boat lay alongside Its victim. In that tense moment th Turk Duurrsl tha rail caught sight of a sturdy pair ot anchor, and a sharp cry, "Ameri canos!'' was raised. Even at that the crew, lying In the shadows on the nearby dock, did not move. There was no evl dene of treachery sav the telltale an churs, and th suspicion died almost at It birth. Boardlagr th Philadelphia. A moment later, those earn bewildered Turks beheld the lull body of a man, leaping cat-like for th Philadelphia'! chain-plate. The man was Decatur, an(! as ho clanibored up the lde ot th frl gate, ho gave orders that tranaformed tht tranquil deck of the merchantman Into what appeared Ilk an ant hill, suddenly aroused. Long before tho men on tht Phllade'phla began to understand the meaning of tho forms thut appeared to grow, niusliroom-Uke, out of the hadow deck, they were confronted by heads and bodka that emerged from the porta and warmed over th rail. It was like the myutio spell of some weird roauicluu. nia- llertaltitng human being out uf empty I 'Pax, said gnnthar Bjiuut Ui ler- atai board :de of the ship. As the Ameri cans daxlied after them, they flung them selves overboard and began to swim for shore. With their wits about them, they "'lit have given the alarm to the waiting- gunboats, or flashed a signal to the men behind the cannon In the fortrees. On the gun-dock there wa a sharp ban4-to-hand fight, which left aa it memento the bodies of reveral ha pi en Turks. The other vaulled over the rail a fast a they could shake off their assailant. It &I1 happened so swiftly that In ten min ute Stephen Decatur stood upon th quarter-deck In undisputed posaeeslnn. His men had their work so carefully cut out for them, that already the crow had darted toward tho cock-pit, tha store rooms, the after-hatches and the steer age, carrying the combustibles that were to make certain the destruction of the frigate. From the quarterdeck, Decatur sent up a rocket to Announce to Captain Stewart, on board the Siren, that the ship had been captured, and before the Siren' rocket could it-ply th flame were seen leaping up from every part of the ill-starred Phladolphla. As swiftly a they had boarded It, the Americans departed, dropping lack to th deck of the ketch and cutting loose. The en gagement hsd iHctcd but twenty-three minute. But It was not ended, for the fort and the gunboats might begin to belch fir and shell at any moment, and a far greater nu-nuce was close at hand. A the Intrepid severed Its dangerous connection with the burning frigate It boom fouled and Its Jigger swept against th quarter gallery of the Philadelphia, the stern-Una became Jammed, and a sheet of flame poured from on of th port holes, directly over the tarpaulin that covered tho store of explosives that had been placed there as a last resort The Facape. A shout from Decatur dispatched a dozen men, with swords, to cut the en tangling ropes, and a mighty shove sent the ketch out ot reach ot the roaring flames. In another lmttant th sweeps had been manned, and a succession of long oar-strokes carried the craft well out Into tho channel of the treacherous harbor. Now the men could hold In no longer, and a mighty shout of triumph arose, a shout that wa drowned in the roar of the batteries, for the aleepy gun ner had been startled Into activity by tho Bight of the burning Philadelphia. Two corfalrn and a galley gave chase and the surface of the water was torn by a rapid succession ot explosions, as tho flro In the burning frigate reached Its batteries. By a strange freak of the wind, the flaming hull was shifted around nnd poured a terrific broadside directly Into the town the American warship's almost human retaliation upon Ita hated captors. From their prison windows. Cap. tain RainbridK and the 300 men who had been captured on that once proud Bhlp, watched with mingled Joy and grief the work of destruction. At least, the Phila delphia would not serve as the enemy's slave. In a veritable rain of shot and shell that sent brilliant Jota or illumined water all about tt, the Intrepid dashed out of th harbor. Joined tho Siren and set sail for Syracuse. It had not lost a single man, and only one member of its crew had need of the surgeon's aid. The Trl polltan lost twenty men In addition to thos unnumbered victim who had re treated to th depth ot tha burning hip. When the etory of the adventure waa told aboard, the pirate nation along tho northern coast of Africa sat up In wild-eyed amazement. Thl waa not the sort of thing they had been accustomed to. Th war had dragged along for al most three year and nothing much had happened. They' began to ask who this Stephen Decatur was, and a little while uter thoy had a reply when on ot their commanding officers, under pretense of surrender, boarded the ship commanded by Docatur's brother and murdered him. No sooner had tha news uf this dastardly act come to the newly appointed captain than ha made oft for his dead brother's ship, engaged the murderous Turk In a hand-to-hand fight, bore lilin, struggling and , pleading for mercy, to the deck and ran Jilm. through with his short sword. the only weapon he happened to have at hand when th death of his brother was reported to him. Without waiting to wash the blood from his hands, he gave order for the occupa tion of the Turk' ahlp, and that night be Joined tha American fleet with two cap tured vessels. CLEVER THEFTS OF DIAMONDS Trick that Baffle When It Come to Search of I'eraoma for M lw In; Ueaa. A former State street Jeweler, who la now a member of a Jewelers' protective association and travels over the entire world In search of diamond and gera thieves, waa In Chicago several day ago and during hi conversation told some of the interesting methods used by th ex pert thief to steal JoweliT. "Of course," he said. "w all know of the fellow who travels along with the diamond salesman for a month or more ostoiivlbly carrying another line, but In reality only awultinir a chance to make away with th salesman's trunk. This fellow works a long time for a haul and I usually a topnotcher, as diamond sales men are naturally suspicious ot any chani acquaintance. This crook, how ever, 1 a polished fellow, tell good stories, drinks good drinks, smoke good cigar and is generully agreeable and well liked. "He docs not push his presence on the snleeman. but manages to run into him numberless time and by various method of his confederate usuully has consider able Important aweuilng mall meet him wherever he goes. Then soma day the salesman packs his trunk after finishing a rale and start It for the express office. On th way It disappears: It Is eithor taken from the platform or picked up somewhere and the thief Is gone. "Women make good diamond thieve. too, as dealers must not take a chance of offending a customer, lest sh be a rich man's wife or daughter, whose trada If obtained regularly, would amount to thou sand a year. Any woman well dressed and possessing a certain amount of re finement can e tha entire stock of al most any dealer in the country. When she Is clever enough she can got a atone or piece of Jewelry during her Inspection. "One New York woman came into a large store and asked to see sone unset diamond. The proprietor of the store waited on her and showed her a large collection ot fine stone, ghe displayed a monster roll of bills and wa about to purchase an expensive Jewel when she avked whether her husband could see It. 'Why, certainly.' replied th proprietor 'W will send it over to him now.' The woman healtuted. and finally ask el whether they would hold the stone until i'ibi aurriioou ni ane would make a ilelHii.lt of S10 on It "Thl appeared perfectly ptoper to the owner, but when she left two valuable none ww missing. Th woman wa balled, taken to polic headquarters and sthd Tba her, and In her Indignation she threatened to bring ult against th proprietor. He wa nri she had taken th stone, but In hi profusion of apology offered to glva her tha on sh had been looking at and at the same tlm refund her f 10. This wa better than a edit and th loss of all of th supposed friend of th woman, thought th dealer- Hh accompanied him back to th store, Sfiade her way up to the cat where she had stood before, and, lipping her hand along under the edge, recovered the two missing atones, stuck there in a little ball of chewing gum. "The detective did not know positively at that tlm whether she had taken any thing from the counter, but decided to keep further watch over her. At another store several day later while she wa Inspecting gems a stone wa dropped on the floor 'accidentally' and thl also was lost. Gum on the front of the shoe had got this one. The woman was arrested and confessed that she had swindled nearly every doaler in New York with her gum trick. "One of tha most Ingenious thefts waa mad In Per! In, where a fellow walked Into a general Jewelry store, knowing the owner had a fin diamond. The thief wore an expensive diamond himself and went Into th store apparently to have an old German watch repaired. He started to talk of diamonds and exhibited hi own a a choice atone. Ha wa shown the other stun by the dealer. They dis cussed diamond In every phas until tb watch wa repaired, when th stranger started to pay for th repairing. He exhibited a large roll of bills and pur posely overpaid. During the Blight con fusion of counting hi money and paying for his watch be had substituted the genuine diamond for a past stone, which wa being carefully wrapped up and placed in it box by tha dealer while the stranger was sauntering out with hi watch. "The dealer saw a slight carbon spot in the paste Jewel Just as he was closing tbe box. and knowing his own Jewel to be flawless, hurriedly examined the stone and apprehended the thief before he waa half block away, secure in the thought that he was safe. "He was taken to the store and every particle of clothing removed and he waa searched thoroughly, but the pilsslng Jewel could not be found. More through curiosity at the old time watch tAan any thing else one of the police called in opened the bock of the case and found glittering up at him from the main spring the lost Jewel. The thief con fessed and got a heavy sentence. There are Just thousand ot this kind of cases, but the big gem thief usually gets caught or hi conscience goes back on him," said the gem thief sleuth. "The majority of the really big fellows that I have ever seen are as fine out men -as on would find anywhere; their person ality is usually of tbe best, but with a bad streak in their makeup somewhere."
