Born In Ireland on November 4, 18T)0,

United Slates frlgnte Niagara, and
after December, lfcitf, on the flagship
Unit ford.
He has a keen, remembrance of Far
ragut at the battle of Mobile Bay on
August 5. 1MU.
"When the squadron started up the
bay," lie says, "(he old Admiral wag
hi the pert main rigging with a rope
annuel his waist, so Hint be could lean
over and see what the fleet were doing.
At the moment the Brooklyn ran
aground Captain Allen sang out 'Tor
pedoes ahead!' It was then the Ad
miral used the famous words:
" Torpedoes he d d! Give her four
bells!'
"liming the entire action in the bay
the Admiral was soinetiiues on the
poop and sometimes hi the mlzzen rig
ging, lie was, I assure you, a busy
man.
"Thnt he was In constant danger I
evident when you remember Unit the
Hartford lost twenty-seven killed and
twenty-live wounded. Only three of
the oitieers who were on the ship that
day remain In the service General
Hey wood, now commanding the Ma
