Mrs. Brophy With Breach of Peace BAINBRIDGE HERO And Destroyer, Named for Him, Is Chasing Submarines ‘Washington, April 4.—A huge liner slips silently out of an Atlantic port, carrying American troops, munitions | and supplies to the battle front. As she reaches the danger zone, out of the mist appear the sinister grey- hounds of war, the American destroy- ers, and a screen is formed about the | liner that carries her safely to her| destination | And as the cables bring back the| word of her safe arrival, a sigh of re- lief goes up from hundreds of thon- | sands of mothers and fathers. { A sigh of relief! American bravery | and skill again have beaten the Ger- man submarine! But the relentless hand of the censor has not told those hundreds of thousands of America parents of the heroic deeds aboard | those destroyers that made possible the successful conclusian of the liner's | voyage. Some day, perhaps after the war is ended, the heroic deeds of American naval officers and men will be made | public, and then, it is not hard to fora- cast, will be heralded again names that another war made famous. As the 18th century gave way io | the 19th, Willlam Bainbridge linked | § those two eras with deeds of valor | that are immortal. When the censar's hand is raised, the name Bainbridge may again ring throughout the land, for somewhere on the high seas is a | little American destroyer named Bain- | bridge. William Bainbridge was born Princeton, N. J., in 1774, the son a wealthy physiclan ana descendant of an English nobleman. When 19 vears old, Bainbridge commanded a ship in the Dutch trade. In defending | his ship from a British schaoner of | eight guns in 1796, he forced the| schooner to strike her colors after a| short fight. As war did not exist between two countries, Bainbridge could take the schooner as a prize, shouted to the captain “Ga about your business now, and report to your masters that if they | want my ship they must send a greater force and a more skillful commander to take her.” In 1798, Bainbridge was commis- | sioned lieutenant-commandant of the schooner Retaliation, and was cap- | tured in battle with a superior French force. Bainbridge was taken on baard the French Volontaire, whose captain | refused to accept his sword, and was/| permitted to go to the topgallant fore- castle to watch pursuit of the Amer jcan ships Montezuma and Norfolk by the Insurgente, 36 guns As the Insurgente was about to open fire, the captain of the Volontairs | turned to Bainbridge and asked: Ee ir, what is the force of those | ve! | Bainbridge tion: “The ship carries twenty-eight 12- pounders and the brig twenty 9- pounders.” Captain St. Laurant, of the Volon- taire, who was commander of the fleet, signalled the Insurgente to withdraw, | fearing the loss of his ship. When, later, Captain St. Laurant found that | their armament had been exaggerated | to twice what they carrled, he ex claimed: “Did you not say. that carrled twenty-eight 12-pounders the brig twenty 9-pounders’ Very quietly and earnestly bridge replied: { “Yes, sir, and if 1 thought at that moment that I could have saved the ships by tellingsyou that they carried 24-pounders, I should have done so. Three Months in Prison. For his temerity, Bainbridge was imprisoned for three months, and when finally ordered to take command of the Retaliation and return home, he took with him a report to Congress that caused the “Retaliation Act” to be passed In 1800 Bainbridge was commis- sioned captain and sailed for Algiers in command of the frigate George Washington on a mission of diplo- macy, carrying tribute to the Dey of| Alglers. Through his ingenuity, the | first treaty was signed Dbetween the United States and Turkey, and he was | the first to carry the American flag to that country. In 1803, Captain Bainbridge was given command of the frigate Phila-} delphia, 44 guns, and cruised in the Mediterrancan in search of Tripolitan corsairs. In chasing a ship in the harbor of Tripoli, the Philadelphlia went aground and was captured by the Tripolitans, after six hours’ fight by the combined enemy fleet. After | being detained two weeks, Buinbridge~ was asked to give an order on Com- modore Preble for the release of Tri-i politan prisoners in order to avaid re- taliatory measures. He refused, and, with his officers, was confined in a prison where his crew was already at work. On February 16, 1804, | Philadelphia was burned by Lieuten- ant Decatur and a large number of the enemy were kijled, Bainbridge and his officers were imprisoned in the tower of the castle, where without light or pure air they were held for 19 months. On his return to the United States, Captain Bainbridge was praised by a court of inquiry called at his own re- quest, and was acclaimed a hero. After several years of shore duty, Painbridge, then commodore,’ request- ed duty at sea when the War of 1812 began. In command of the Consti- | tution, he sighted sail, December 29 1812, off the caast of Brazil. Draw- ing her off the neutral coast, Bain- bridge holsted his colors and the other answered with the English colors. The stranger bore down at once with the intention of raking the Consti- | tution, in the meantime hiding hcri the not but replied without hesita- the ship | and Bain- when the | colars. Bainbridge opened with a | broadside, which restored the English flag, and was answered with a broad- «ide that shot away the wheel of the Constitution.

In this position the American frigate poured in such a well-directed fire that part of bowsprit, the fore and main masts were shot awdy When the enemy’s mizzenmast went down, lodging across the deck, Bain- bridge’s move to Take her brought down her flag. The ship proved be the frigate Java, 49 guns and 400 men. Captain Lambert, of the Java was mortally wounded, 60 of the crew were killed and 100 wounded. Constitution lost nine killed and 25 wounded, among them Commodorec Bainbridge, who was struck twice by shat. The Jave was so fearful a wreck she was blown up. Commodore Bainbridge landed prisoners—351—at San Salvador. on his return to the Unitedl States February 27, 1813, he was voted $30.- which e its thanks the commodore, his officers and crew, and medals to all the officers \ lang career of splendid naval se was ended by his death at Ph 1833.
