By the Associated Press, Harking back to the quasi-war with France, little remembered in history and forgotten by the foes who have be- come friends, the water-stained and faded log of the frigate Philadelphia has been restored to the Navy. ‘The Philadelphia was the flagship of Capt. Stephen Decatur, sr., who commanded 13 vessels cruising in the West Indian waters in 1800 to protect American shipping. The log was kept by Lieut. Thomas Wilkey, and tells of “days out 272" in which five French vessels were captured in furfous battles in the West Indles, Willlam D. Broadway of New York, a descendant of Lieut. Wilkey, pre- sented the log to Secretary Wilbur, who placed it in the Navy archives yes terday. ‘The Philadelphia was con- structed in 1799 in the city for which it was named through the subscrip tions of merchants who wanted to protect Amezican shipping. Her first cruise of 27 days out ended in victory in the West Indies and she went to the shore of Tripoli, in the Mediterranean, where she ran aground and was abande by her American_crew. She was seized by the | pirates of Tripoll, who used her 36 guns against American vessels. A force from the frigate nstitution under Lieut. Stephen Decatur, §r. boarded her under heavy five from the forts of “ripolf and burned her. BOY SCOUTS HOLD ‘REVUE' TONIGRT D.
