HER LAST CRUISE.
THE FRIGATE YANTIC HAS EARNED AN
HONORABLE RETIREMENT.
After Long Service on the High Seaa She
Goes to Detroit For Use as a Training
Ship For the Naval Militia.
Every year the number of wooden
ships in our navy grows less, and with
the retirement of the frigate Yantic an
other picturesque but practically useless
craft drops our of the line to be replaced
by a modern fighting machine of steel.
Had it not been for the rumpus raised
by the Canadian jingoes the Yantic
would have been allowed to retire into
obscurity unnoticed. As it is, however,
even at the close of her career, she is a
subject for the exchange of international
platitudes.
When the nl.vy department was forced
to condemn the Yantic because it was
found that the expense of repairing her
would be 20 per cent of her original cost,
it was decided to put her out of com
mission and hand her over to the Michi
gan naval reserves to be used as a train
ing ship. Upon hearing of this the Ca
nadian newspapers raised a howl of pro
test. They declared that in “sending a
warship into lake waters” the United
States government was violating the
Rush-Bagot treaty, which has for years
been a Head.letter as far as its practical
effect goes.
This Rush-Bagot treaty was made
during President iMonroe’s administra
tion and was “an arrangement as to tho
naval force to be respectively maintained
on the American lakes by Canada and
the United States. It limited the vessels
to two each on the larger lakes and one
on the smaller, the vessels not to exceed
100 tons each and their armament to
consist of one 18 pound cannon apiece.
In how much respect this treaty is
held is shown by the fact that we have
now on the lakep, besides the antiquated
cruiser Michigan, several formidable
and well armed revenue cutters. The
Gresham and the Carlisle, for instance,
have rapid tiro .rifles, machine guiy ayd

torpedo tubes, making* them the superi
ors in offensiveuess of several of the
professed fighting cruisers of our new
navy. The Canadians also have war
ships on the lakes, but they disguise
them under the name of fisheries polic
ing boats. They have ram bows and nine
nordfelt guns apiece besides heavier
armament stowed below as ballast or
housed at convenient lake ports ready
for mounting.
With 18 such vessels in the waters of
the great lakes it is ridiculous for the
UNITED STATES FRIGATE YANTIC.
Canadians to object to our sending
through their canals the poof old Yan
tic, whose wooden hull has bebn patched
until it will stand patching no longer,
whose engines are worth no more than
the junkman would give for them and
whose smooth bore guns now lie rust
ing in Charlestown navy yard.
But in her day the Yantic was not a
craft to be sneered at. When she was
launched from the Philadelphia navy
yard in 1864, she was as trim a little
frigate for her size as we possessed. Her
first assignment was. to cruise along the
Atlantic coast and sink the commerce
destroyers Talahassee and Chickamauga,
but after a vain hunt .of two months
she joined the blockading fleets. She
was active in the two attacks on Fort
Fisher and helped in the capture of
Fort Anderson. After the war she spent
a year or two on the drydock being re
paired, and then she was assigned to
the work of finding and blowing up
derelicts. She made a cruise on the
Asiatic station, and when she came
home in 1877 she was used up. For
three years the ship carpenters tinkered
with her and made her as good as new.
For the next ten years the Yantic was
one of the north Atlantic squadron, and
in May, 1886, had the most exciting ex
perience of her entire career. She was
800 miles out in the Atlantic hunting
for derelicts when she encountered a
terrific hurricane. For days she strug
gled gallantly with the storm. At one
time her foremast had to be cut away
to prevent her going to the bottom.
While wallowing in giant seas her en
gine room filled with water and the hot
ashes heated it almost to the boiling
point. In this uncomfortable condition
of affairs the engineers nobly stuck to
their post, half drowned and half boil
ed. The Yantic finally got out of the
stonn qenter and wap limping back t«
' THE* ROME
New'Yo“f’when ‘she was struck by an
other gale, which almost finished her.
She was almost a wreck when she final
ly did tie up at Brooklyn navy yard,
but was repaired and put in commission
again.
In 1888 the Yantic accompanied the
Galena to Haiti to rescue an American
steamship which had been seized by Le
gitime, the dictator. In 1892 she was
'sent to the south Atlantic station, but
for months she was only kept from sink
ing because her keel rested on the mud
of the La Plata river bottom. Last
summer she was brought back home,
inspected and condemned, and at De
troit she will end her days by furnish
ing offshore quarters for amateur fresh
water tars. John F. Willoughby.

jumping into a buggy and driving hard.

the anti-waste natural gas laws. He
declared the former unconstitutional as
a whole and all cases brought under it
were stricken from the docket. He
made this ruling on the ground that it
was class legislation and discriininati r
against the wage earner, inasmuch as ’>
made special provisions for attaching
