Hood hotel thia week was devoted to the "Old Ironsides’’ campaign being waged among the schools of the mld-Oolumbla by mom- bers of the local Elka I lodge. ~ Trama» -------- Butler, chairman of the » Elks ___________ commit- tee, waa chairman of the suasion, and Capt. Geo. R. Wilbur delivered an ad dress on the b*rt the old U.8.8. Con stitution has played In the American navy. Capt. Wilbur Tuesday morning delivered an address at an assembly of the high school. Capt. Wilbur, during the course of his talk read portions of an address written on “Old Ironsides” by Rash L. Holland, of the National Memorial Headquarters Commission of Elks. It follows: “I will tell yon Just a little about ’Old Ironsides’ snd about the first of the many ses fights In which it was engaged. It was built out of the very best snd strongest timber, and de signed to carry a large amount of can vas or sail so as to give it great speed, this always being Important In naval warfare. The use of oars on frigates hsd been discontinued long before ’Old Ironsides’ was built She is what 1s known as a 1,800-ton ship and carried 4-1 cannon, firing eunnon-balls weighing 24 to 32 pounds each. In comparison with our preeent fighting vessels, the eponon she carried as compared with the monsters mounted on our present great battleship« seem almost like pop guns. The fighting capacity of our modern war vessels is 300 times great, er than the fighting capacity of this* old ship when it was brand new and fully equipped; that Is to say, one of the big atilpe of our present navy could fight and sink 300 ships like ‘Old Ironsides’ when she was st her very best. “She was commanded by Captain Isaac Hall, who was a great sailor as well as a great commander and fighter. She carried about 400 officers and men. but they were all men of iron will and Iron courage, and proved themselves to be'the best sailors snd fighters In the world. When you come to rand the history of ‘Old Ironsides,’ you Will learn that the first important fight in which she was engaged occurred in August, 1812. Off the coast of New foundland she came upon a British frigate named 'Guerrlere.' The ‘Guer- riere’ was one of the best ships of the British navy and was about the sloe of ‘Old Ironsides* and was similarly equipped with cannon, officers and men. ‘Old Ironsides’ gave battle at owe to the ‘Guerrlere,’ and it proved to be a great fight. The sea was very rough and the ships were hard to man age, but Captain Hull proved to be a better seaman than the <-ommander of the British frigate. Each ship tried to sink the other b.v firing cannon shot into it Finally the ships came to gether. Then the waves drew them apart and there was more cannonading on both sides, but finally the cannons on “Old Ironrides’ shot away the masts on the ‘Gnerriere,’ so that she was practically helpless. ‘Old Ironsides’ then bore down on her, and the Com mander of the ’Guerrlere’ was com pelled to surrender. The British frig ate had been so shot to pieces that It really wds not -worth towing into har bor.. Consequently, after the British sailors who had not been killed had been brought on tn ‘Old Ironsides,’ the ‘Guerrlere’ was set on fire and bloom up at sea. “You perhaps are wondering how the frigate ‘Constitution’ got the name of ’Old Ironsides.’^ Let me tell you.
