HOW DEWEY BEAT THE BRITISH.
Exciting Sunset ( ji n Contest With the llritiah FlngHhip
Hollcroplioii.
By W. W. STONE.
( Copyright , ltt , by the Author. )
In 1865 Ocorgo Dewey , then n llcutcnnnt
ce mm an dor , wa the executive officer of iho
launch old frigate Colorado. I1 was his
hip's writer and had ojiportunlty of know
ing him Intimately and I shall never forget
a most exciting contest which wo hail'In the
fcay of Gibraltar with her majesty's flagship
"Bcllcrophon , " known In Eoug and story na
< he "Billy Ruffian. "
Sh wa * cried up to us by her , men as the
track ship of the British navy.
1 do not say that she \\as ; I am simply
Hiving you assertions nude by the English
boat's crew , coming alongside , bringing the
English admiral on a visit. Mr Dewey
heard of this braggadocla In porno way und
determined to slvo the Knyllslnncnl \ "run
for their money , " Ho knew well the Eng
lish routine nbcmrdnhlp , Jiavlng been with
the Wabash on her European crulso In 1859 ,
and be know -that the British seamen prldtpd
themselves more than anything else on the
ipcud with which they could lower their sails
end flag. l
At sunset , ohronomotor time , the Ameri
can flag cornea down to iho music of drum
end fife ; at the same time the word of com ?
inaml Is given and the masts and yards leave
their perch and are lowered to the deck.
In the British navy the sunset gun la fired
at actual time , or was so then , and the flag
'ivai lowered as the spars came down.
Shortly before sunset Mr. Dewey walked
up to 'tho ' bridge , aft of the * quarter deck ,
and took the trumpet from the officer of
the deck. Soon after Admiral Qoldaborough ,
Commander Stecdman and Captain Wyman
joined him.
At Iho usual time our old flag fluttered for
a moment'at the gaff and then descended like
a bird of paradlee upon the afterdcck.
Not a word , however , came from Mr.
Dewey. Every eye was turned upon the
English frigate , watting for her signal gun.
The men were all at their stations , quivering
with suppressed excitement. Had wo been
uniting with shotted guns for tbo signal to
commence a life and death struggle for the
I
"I RAISED
mastery ot the port there could have been
no greater tension.
Suddenly the sunset gun boomed out from
itho > "BelIerophon" and her rSyal yards
swung to a perpendicular. j
"Away there , you men ! " came through
the speaking trumpet like a sharp clap of
thunder.
.Dorrn with the Sail * .
No one now paid any more attention to
the British ship ; the men bent every energy
to tbo task before them ; the topmasts went
up far enough to slip out the underpinning ;
then down , ulowly but surely , came masts
and yards at the same tlmo. This was a
very perilous undertaking. The Immense
pieces of timber , eight Inches through at ! i
the butt , arc held in their place by stout
Iron bands , btrong enough to bind the big
clicks whllo perfectly perpendicular , but
powerless had the enormous piles tilted to ] i
1
ono side. Each was , however , guided by'
etrong and steady arms and down they came ! | '
ivUh the , yards still banging alongside.
I
A single misstep , a tilt of tbo ship , a partIng -
Ing of a strand and the ponderous mass
might have plunged through the ship's bot- |
torn.
In lesi time than I have taken to tell ot
the feat the old ship was stripped , her I
etumpy looking lower masts standing alone <
and making her look like a shapely wreck.
Wo now looked for the first lime over
to the Englishman. We were amazed. Ills
yards were not yet on deck , although his
seamen were working ( or dear life. We
could cot help setting up a cheer. |
"What's your hurry , DeweyJ" called
Goldsborough , quizzically. The ponderous
old admiral had been ns eager a s the rest
of us to give the "llme-Julcer" a lesson
In ship maneuvering , but he couldn't help
playfully twitting our executive on thla
vlllful waste of good powder.
"No hurry , sir ; no hurry at all , " answered
Dewey , with a toss of the head ; "Just our
jr usual practice drill. "
5 , We stayed In the Straits of Gibraltar a week
. * * or two after this but wo never heard an
other word from "Billy Ruffians" about "a
their famed seamanship.
I remember how strongly Dewey used to
impress every man of ua aboard ship. He
was brim full ot life , energy and appre
ciative wisdom. In person ho was hardly of
average sire , bo had coal black hair and
eyes , a long , thick mustache , an oliro com
plexion , with an aquiline nose that gave him
omctblng of an Hebraic cast of countenance.
Ho was then lu the prime of life , bolng
about 30 yean * ot age , well formed , with a
courtly , Insinuating air ; soft aud almost
caressing In speech , except when aroused to
anger , when his sharp , quick tones would
BO through an ague-etrlckpn victim.
Dcwey was popular with the men much
more so than with his associate officers.
When things went wrong , when some mls-
bap occurred , arising from neglect or Inat
tention , the offender would be treated to a
crescendo , starting with calm sarcasm and
rising Into a storm of reproach , graded ac
cording to the enormity ot the offense.
, The men all took this In good part. Dewey
bad a peculiarly happy knack of making
It appear that It was the "service" that wan
doing the growling , ho being merely the
spokesman. i
"Isn't that dreadful ! " he would cry , loud
enough for half of the main watch on deck
to hear , as a aolled Inebriate tumb'ed ' over
the side from shore lca\e. "Here we arc ,
agents of a great nation , sent by the gov
ernment to represent , the Intelligence of a
free people , and yet look at thla specimen
of American humanity. . Go below , you
wreck , nnd hldo your head on the berth
deck" and the stupefied fellow would slink
away , followed by the threatening looks
9f Iho rew" , who suddenly remembered that
they , too , were freo-born citizens nud dig
nified reprcsentaftves of the grcat/jVmerlcan
republic.
I remember that ns soon as Dewey took
charge of the old Colorado ho commenced
a Bcrlos of practice drills that would have
driven the men to desperation under a ICES
appreciative executive.
. Every day In port the ship was stripped
I to the tops , masts and yards coming down
' on the run.
At sea , on calm days , a raft , hastily con
structed , would be turned adrift and whou
far enough a-lca the boatswain's pipe'would
summon all hands to quarters for target
drill ; then guns would pop and shells
would fly , until the target waa destroyed
or the allowance of ammunition exhausted.
Under this sevdro discipline the crow
hands , when some one , to break tht npell ,
which wan becoming a little tense , asked :
"Well , was that a CASO of tpeclal provi
dence ? "

told mo of nu experience he had with him

occupied In raising sheep in New York state

"After a time Mr , Brown noticed rather

taken were worth $100 apiece and there

SPECIAL PHOVim : > CU STORIES.
_ _ _ _ _ *
Incident * of the Civil War Verjfiiipr on
tin * MirnciiluiiN. I i
We were discussing war and Interesting J |
,
coincidents , when Colonel Swain of Clu-1 I
cage , who Raw service all through the civil
war , repeated a story which General Black
had told him only the week before.
Some tlmo ago General Ulack and his wife
were taking a trip on the upper Mississippi.
After being out a few day * It was noticed
that the sonic group of people were con-
stantly finding themeelvcs together ; and in
seeking the reason for their unusual congeniality -
geniality It transpired that the men of the
party were all old army men. Whereupon
the swapping of stories became the order
1 of the day. Ono evening an old veteran
I ttarted a discussion as to whether there was
such a thing as special providence.
I "This Is not the first time I have raised
I thU question , " said he , after the controversy -
, versy was In full swing. "The'last time was
In ' 64 , when wo boys were bivouacked be
fore Atlanta. It was my night for sentinel
duty and right In the midst of the debate
I was obliged to leave and go to my post ,
i It WOK a frightfully dark night , the enemy
was near , the country full of pitfalls and I
Ixiiow that my life was in momentary peril.
Of course , I had faced just na great risks
many times before , but somehow on this
particular night I began to dwell upon the
terrors which surrounded mo until I was In
a state of nervous collapse. Then my mind
went back to our discussion upon special
providence and to calm my fears I began
singing 'Jesus , Lover of My Soul , ' very much
upon the principle of n boy who whistles In
going through the woods. I song the hymn
through to the end and by the time I had
nnlched I was perfectly calm nnd fearless.
I somehow felt that a special protection was
round nnd about mo and In looking back to
that night I al\vajs have exactly the same
feeling. "
Ono of the listeners had seemed to take an
extraordinary Interest In the recital. At the
end , he asked , "Did you say that happened
before Atlanta ? "
"Yes. *
"In tbo fall of ' 64 ? "
"Yes.1
"Well , my friend , I was In the confederate
army stationed at Atlanta. I was reconnoit-
erlng one evening when I chanced to pass
near a sentinel of the northern army at his
post. I thought that the btet thing t could
do for my country was to pop him over and
raised my gun to my shoulder , took careful
aim , when just at that moment he broke
forth singing 'Jesus , Lover of My Soul. ' I
dropped my gun Instantly , saying to myself.
No ! I can't kill that wan were he ten
times my enemy. "
The two old veterans Instinctively clasped

llrst blow Is struck he cannot legally re
cover. So , poor Brown not only lost his
sheep and took a drubbing , but also loat
his case.
"About this time he began to take an
active interest In the anti-slavery question
and one day found him again at the office
of the Justice of the peace , this tlmo to
talk over the righteousness of renouncing
bla peculiar tenet of non-resistance
wherein he received much encouragement
from the doughty Justice.
"Ho eoou after , with his family , migrated
to Kansas and all the world knows how
flourished hla non-resistance principles

THE ALFRED NULLENAIIY.
ThonHaniltli Aunlreraarr of the
Death of Alfred the Great.
For the first year of the twentieth century
1901 festivities are being planned to cM-
ebrate the memory of a hero-king , Alfred
the Great.
That year will m rk the l.QOOth anniver
sary of his death and It IB proposed to tender
worthy homage to tbo man whom some ono
has called the most perfect character in his
tory.
tory.The
The mayor ot Winchester , England , Is tbo
'
secretary of the committee , and be Is most
anxious that Americans shall join with Eng
land in the celebration , and a grand naval
display of the combined fleets of America
and England is one feature proposed.
Winchester IB taking precedence of Lon
don In the celebration for the rcasou ihtit It
i\as Alfred's capital "the royal city of Al
fred , " ns It Is called and where his bopes
still crumble In their thrice-desecrated
tomb , Hyde abbey.
The national memorial will be set up at
Winchester. Just what form This memorial
\\lll taUo has not been finally decided , ex
cept that It uliall bo magnificent. A colossal
statue has been proposed ono which can
bo seen afar off and whose site should be
the historic hill at Winchester.
A museum has also been suggested , to
uhlch Alfred's Jewel at Oxford should be
transferred , as well as other genuine relics
of his time , with coins , carvings and arms ,
i nnd In Its marbles or bronzes recall events
in the king's life his terrific comba'.s with
the Dane on land and sea , bis midnight med
itations , bin Etudles and his boyish experi
ences In Home.
Or a new abbey , a Campo Santo , Is on-
other suggestion. Westminster abbey Is
at last crowded to excess and must soon
cease ( o bo the resting place of the great
men whom the nation dellshts to honor. A
new abbey is needed , which might bo called
the mausoleum of Alfred.
That America will contribute her share
toward the celebration Is not to bo doubted ,
for Alfred's Saxons wo may regard as our
progenitor ! ; , and the hero king was not only
the forerunner ot Marlborough and Welling
ton , of Illako and Nelson , but also of Devtey
and Hobson , of Schley and of Sampson.
The first naval victory on record , won
by Englishmen , was that gained by Alfred
over se\en Danish rovers , when he was only
6 years of oge. He was the founder ot
the English navy , building elilps longer ,
heavier , snifter than those of the Danes ,
and before long the Saxons had afloat a
fleet of 100 ships to hold the mastery of
the channel and to meet the enemy before
they had time to land and to give them
most excellent reasons why they should not
land.
land.We
We all remember the story of Alfred's
visit to the camp of the Danes In the dla-
gulse of a harper. This proved his great
courage , and the knowledge gained secured
for him hla most Important victory.

A fashionable youth , an old admirer of
