“Three ships of war had Preble w)en
he left the Naples shore,
And the knightly king of Naples lent
him seven galleys more.
And never since the Argo floated in
the Middle Sea,
Such noble men and valiant have sailed
in company
As the men who went with Preble to
the siege of Tripoli,
j Stewart, Bainbridge, Hull, Decatur—
how their names ring out like
gold!—
Lawrence, Porter, Trippe, Macdonough
and a score as true and bold.'*
—From Reuben James, by .Tames Jef
frey Roche.
“At naif-past one the squadron
■stood for the batteries; at two they
cast off the gun-boats; at half-past
! two the signal was given for the bomb
j vessels and boats to advance and it
i tack, and in fifteen minutes after the
signal was given, general action vraS
begun by the bomb-vessels threaving
shells into the city.”
Thus was begun jj^ 1803 one of the
. most brilliant en* „enienta incite
I history of war—an engagement that
, astounded the world-powers because
! it was instituted by the infant/United
I States, and because it ended /forever
the paying of tribute to the jiratieal
Barbary nations.
With Commodore Preble sailed a
group of intrepid young officers whose
names and deeds then and later fur
nished the traditions that have in a
large measure made the navy of the
United States invincible;
“Stewart, Bainbridge, Hull. Decatur—
how their names ring out like
; gold! —
Lawrence, Porter Trippe, Macdonough,
and a score as true and bold."
Now. one hundred and fifteen years
since those men became famous, and
j the first time since then that an
American fleet has been engaged in
European waters—now, in the world
war, the namesakes of those naval
heroes of a century past are engaged
against a common foe. These name
sakes, destroyers, are battling to clear
the seas of the piratical submarines. I
just as in the past those for whom the *
destroyers are named ended piracy on
the high seas, and stopped the paying!
of tribute.
The record of the American naw
throughout the years has been one of
heroic deeds and victory. The Revolu-!
I tion, the war of 1789, that of 181-.!
| the campaigns against the B srhary
! powers, the Civil war, the Spanish
I American war—each produced its
! naval heroes. "
j And now the world war!
j Are the heroic deeds of naval his
! torv to be repeated?
i They are. without a doubt! The of
| ficers of the navy of today have de
i voted their lives to study of the deeds
j of their predecessors. They have
trained themselves for the task of de
resting the Germany navy, and victory
In the end is certain,
j Battleships and cruisers of the navy
; are named for states and cities. The
destroyers are named for famous naval
officers, and a destroyer flotilla is on I
duty abroad. The names of the de
stroyers making up this flotilla are
withheld frpm the public at the gov
ernment’s request; therefore in the
articles to follow, giving briefly 80uie
of the deeds of the men for whom de
stroyers are named, no mention will
be made of the whereabouts 0f the
destroyer, it is safe to say that each
1 destroyer named in these articles,
if not now engaged, will within a short f
time be doing its share of the navy's !
huge task.
Traditions, how much they mean to'
every one! Why should not new his i i
tory be written by men commanding ] i
vessels whose very names mean the!
most self-sacriificing, most heroic, I
most glorious of naval deeds!
An interesting fact in naval his j
tory is that seven of the nine men j
named in the above verse commanded
the most famous ship in early naval j
annals. In “The Romance of the!
American Navy,” Frederick Stanhope
Hill says:
“It is very doubtful if the naval his
tory of any nation can show a more
were James Lawrence, the ‘Bayard of
size, than was made during the first i
fifteen years of the past century by!
the little twelve-gun schooner Enter- j
prise, afterward rigged as a brig. j
“During her very active service in j
the West Indies, in the war between i
the United States and France in 1798-j
99, as well as later in the Mediterran ]
ean, where she took part in our con-,
t'lict with the beys of Tunis and Trip-,
oli, the Enterprise invariably gave
a good account of herself, as might |
have been expected when we note the
men, afterward famous in naval his
tory, who as lieutenants commanded
her.
“A'mong these were the sturdy Isaac j
Hull, Jen years later the gallant com
mander of the Constitution; and Ste-!
phen Decatur, whose heroic exploit in'
the destruction of the Philadelphia in
the Bay of Tripoli was the prelude to '
a long and brilliant * * * other cap
tains of the little Enterprise were
Charles Stewart, who when in com-'
mand of the Constitution captured the|
Cvane and Levant; David Porter ofj
Kessex fame, father of the late admiral ^
of the navy; and among her officers)
were James Lawrence, the ‘Bayard of I
the Sea,' who gave up his life on the
deck of the ill-fated Chesapeake;
Joseph Bainbridge, and Thomas Mao
donough, who gained the glorious
victory over the British on Lake
Champlain.”
Another fact worthy of mention is
that four of these men commanded
the Constitution, affectionately called
“Old Ironsides,” the-last ship that links
the old navy with the new.
Aboard the Constitution those
heroes of a century ago fought and
won many bloody battles. Today the
Constitution is a center of interest,
because of the bygone valor.

that comes from riding behind an Electric locomotive—the most pow
erful in the world—and that personal attention which is a feature of
"Milwaukee” service.
