THE OLD NIAGAEA

heroic achieve

ers This is the
a l bates Niagara flag
ship of Commo
dore Oliver Hazard Terry after he left
the Lawrence in the celebrated battle
of Lake Erie in the autumn of 1S13 just
ninety three years ago Sentiment in fa
vor of preserving relics connected with
leading events of the countrys history
has grown very strong in recent years
There is much romance in the history
of Commodore Terry and it was on
the Niagara that he won the victory
over the British For some years suc
ceeding the war of 1812 the Niagara
was used as a receiving php but I e
coming too old and dilapidated f r that
purpose was sunk in Lake Erie off the
city of Erie in what is known a Mis
ery bay For many yen even tTie
resting place of t ie old hull- wis for
gotten but in 1S93 Representative S
A Davenport cf the Erie district called
public attention to the fact that the
Niagara lay substantially intact at the
bottom of Misery bay and his successor
in congress Arthur L Bates introduc
ed a bill in 1902 providing for raising
and rehabilitating the ship and placing
it in a permanent building of brick and
stone on the grounds of the Soldiers
and Sailors home at Erie This be
came a law at the last session of con
gress 20000 being appropriated for
the purpose
The victory of Terry ou Lake Erie
has been celebrated time and again
In song and story and Irving Bacheller
in Dri and I has given one of the
most graphic descriptions written of
what took place on that eventful day
in 1S13 Terrys victory was the more
notable on account of the extraordinary
obstacles he had to encounter in build
ing his fleet enlisting and training his
men and finally on account of the fact
that he was ill of a fever when the
battle was fought At the beginning
of the battle on Sept 10 his flagship
was the Lawrence and his fighting
burgee bore the dying words of the
brave commander for whom the vessel
was named Dont give up the ship
So well did her men observe this mot
to that the Lawrence sustained the
concentrated lire of her foes for two
hours until every gun she had was
rendered useless and only a fraction

TO THE NIAGARA
of her crew remained on deck The
carnage was terrible Uis young broth
er was struck and lay stunned as if
dead When he saw that to remain
on the Lawrence was to lose the day
Terry determined on transferring to
the Niagara This astonishing feat he
at once performed leaving the Law
rence in a small boat at 230 p m
and rowing to the Niagara amid a del
uge of shot from the enemy Troudly
standing up In the boat with his com
manders pennant so that the Amer
icans in the other ships might see
him and be reassured he arrived safe
ly at the Niagaras gangway and took
command In about seven minutes
from the time the fight was thus re
opened and about fifteen minutes from
the time Terry reached the Niagara
the first of the English vessels struck
her colors A few minutes later all
resistance on the part of the British
squadron had ceased and Terry with
his fleet was master of Lake Erie
Then he sent the historic message to
General William Dlenry Harrison com
manding the United States land forces
We have met the enemy and they
are ours two ships two brigs one
schooner one sloop Yours with very
great respect and esteem O H Ter
ry England had lost an entire squad
ron by surrender and her humiliation
at being whipped by these untrained
raw Americans was great
Terry was only twenty seven when
he won this victory He was greatly
honored by congress and the people
and died of yellow fever in the West
Indies in 1S19

HYDROPLANE BOAT I VJSOSZAHSS
New Craft In a Sort of Airship on
Water
A recent interesting invention in the
motor boat line is that of au Italian
named Foriandini who has devised a
water craft which resembles an air
ship He calls it the hydroplane boat
It has a hull like that of the ordihary
boat and has screw propellers operat
ing in the water but In addition to
these there are wing screws at each
end of the ship which revolve in the
air The wings are mounted on a pole

stretching the length of the boat and
some feet above the hull The two
wing screws at each end of the pole
have each five wings and these are
driven by two benzine motors of seven
ty horsepower each The hydroplane
skims along the surface of the water
and scarcely seems to touch it Ex
periments with It have been favorable
and as high a speed as forty four Eng
lish miles an hour has been attained
The course of the boat is not affected
by the movements of the waves
