CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1904
IT was tlit- (luwu of Christinas day, ISI2, and ovfer the blue Atlantic, under
the warm skies of the Tropic of Cancer, was slipping lazily along, with
scarce steerage way, the privateer schooner Governor Tompkins, four
teen guns, of New York. Oltlcers and crew were happy. Fortune had
Iteen favoring them. Since leaving port early in July, some three weeks after
the declaration of war against England, they had taken a number of British
vessels and had suffered but slight injury. The crew, save those 011 watch,
were asleep, dreaming of sweethearts ashore and plum duff at sea, when
from the lookout at the masthead the cry of "Sail, ho!" roused man and vessel
to action. Up from the cabin bolted the officers, up from the forecastle tum
bled the sailors, and at the same moment up from the horizon popped the sun
(which is the way he has of rising in the tropics), disclosing plain ahead three
ships. This might have been a day of "peace 011 earth," but it was not a
day of peace on the ocean, not for the Governor Tompkins! She shook out all
her canvas, and with the English flag flying as a bit of deception she started
in pursuit.
The wind was very light. The chase was a tedious one. It lasted from
dawn until in the afternoon. Slowly nearer and nearer drew the Governor
Tompkins, but so slowly that plum duff appetites must have been spoiled by
exasperation and impatience. The largest of the ships appeared to be a good
sized transport vessel, and vision of the specie perhaps aboard her tilled the
minds of the folk upon the privateer. The two other craft were merchant
men. The three vessels would make a tine Christmas gift, and, added to prizes
gone before, would enable the Governor Tompkins to speed home rejoicing.
Still, as the privateer little by little cut down the distance, her people
began to be not so confident. The trans) >rt looked so much bigger than they
had pictured licr at lirst. Captain Nathaniel Shaler held his long brass tele
scope trained upon her, and there was that In her which puzzled him. Her
ports seemed to be painted like those of a merchantman, and on her deck was
what might he a merchantman's boat, but nettings to repel boarders extended
from her sides up almost to her topmasts, and this was a suspicious feature.
"I'm afraid she's a bit too heavy for us," announced Captain Shaler doubt
fully to his officers. "Mr. Farnuni, go for'd and see what you make of her."
So Mr. Farnum, first lieutenant, went: toward the bows to take a squint
at her. and then, even before he had his glass to his eye, like a dose of magic,
down swept a furious squall!
The squall struck the schooner first, and ere her light sail could be taken
in aye, in Captain Shaler's own words, "Almost before I could turn round"—
she had been rushed onward, faster than to her liking, and found herself
under the guns not of a transport, but of a frigate, waiting for her!
Captain Shaler was a Yankee skipper, and he did the best lie could. The
UEPLIED WITH THE VERY WO It ST INTENTIONS.
squall gave him and his all that they could attend to for a few minutes. To
attempt to tack in such a blow was hazardous, it' it did not wreck the schooner
it would at least expose her to fire that would rake her from stem to stern;
therefore he trimmed his sails, discarded the English flag and hoisted three
American ensigns, and, standing right on parallel with the frigate, gallantly
opened with his broadside. The Britisher, having, as he thought, the
Yankee privateer in a box, replied with t'e very worst intentions in the world.
His first round was a scorcher! A twenty-four pound ball struck John John
son, a negro seaman, 111 the hip and cut away all the lower part of his body.
But as he lay dying on the deck he exclaimed several times to his shipmates:
"Fire away, iny boy! No haul color down!"
Another twenty-four pounder similarly mangled John Davis, also a negrv.
He fell near Captain Shaler and, deeming himself now useless and in the way,
begged to be thrown overboard. Other shot from the same broadside wounded
First Lieutenant John Farnum and Seamen James Dougherty, John Parker
and John Sunaliolm slightly, Thomas Loveland severely and Thomas Davis so
badly that he soon afterward died. This same broadside exploded an am
munition box containing two powder cartridges for a nine pounder gun. The
cartridge ignited three other boxes holding a quantity of the quill-like cannon
primers, and these promptly flashed up so viciously that they forced sparks
through a crack in the wooden cap which fitted over the stairway to close it.
Luckily for the Governor Tompkins the cabin floor had been drenched and
a fire screen in the shape of a wet blarfket had been hung before the maga
zine hatch so as to serve in just such an emergency as this. The sparks siz
zled in vain and expired. Half an hour had passed since the squall had arisen
so inopportunely for the Governor Tompkins, but so opportunely for the
frigate. The two vessels were running side by side, the privateer spitting with
her lighter guns and the man-of-war hammering away with heavier. The
Governor Tompkins was swift, and Captain Shaler had hoped that in the
course of a few broadsides she would draw ahead and out of the center of
danger. But this time the Governor Tompkins had almost met her match at
Bailing. The frigate was nearly as fast as she.
Instead of spurting ahead the good schooner only gradually—ah, how
gradually—progressed from a little abaft the frigate's beam to opposite her
bows, and during all this process the solid shot from the frigate's guns were
being pelted at her round after round. The British tars were not reliable
marksmen. They did not live up to the reputation of their first broadside.
Not a ball after that touched the schooner's hull. She dashed 011 practically
unscathed. Farther and farther she forged beyond the frigate's bows. Fewer
guns could he brought to bear upon her. A long half hour and the British
phot began to fall short. The Governor Tompkins' men breathed easier. Then
the fickle wind dropped, leaving them well nigh becalmed, while the frigate
kept coining on.
Her shot again reached their vicinity. The privateersmen hastily put out
their sweeps, and in desperation all hands pushed and tugged at the great,
unwieldy oars. A detail wast, red to throw overboard whatever stuff could
be spared from the deck, and. passing up shot from the hold, they hurled that,
too, over the rail. Plunk, plunk. It went into the sea until 2.01K1 pounds had
thus been disposed of. The schooner began to gain on her pursuer; another
half hour and the enemy's missiles once more fell short. Twenty-five minutes
and he hove about and abandoned the chase.
Tlit; privateer proceeded to bury her dead and to clean decks. She was a
sorrier but. lei' us believe, a wiser schooner Thereafter she kept her weather
eye. in m'Mitfo 1 t;> her fighting eye. pealed and was wary of "transports" in
uoceutly (rfllmid. but with boarding nettings stretched.
