After an engagement lasting fifteen minutes. Captain Iiwrence received a mortal wound. This gal land commander exhorted his men to the end with the words, "Don't give up the ship." Out of a crew of 379 the Chesapeake lost CI killed or mortally wounded and 85 severely and slightly wounded, while out of a crew of 330 the Shannon lost 33 kill ed and 50 wounded." That is what an encyclopaedia says alwut it and now comes the incident that prompts the publication of the above, merely as explanatory to those who read what follows and may be clouded in their memory of historical facts. In respect of the differences in figures the reader may take his choice. F. I'Leary, who has lived in this city for many years and now resides on Fast Van Huren street, in lS'.iG visited friends in Fort Smith. Ark. One of the incidents of the visit is thus set forth in an article from his pen, printed in the Fort Smith Xews- liecord, April 29. lSSfi. He has furn ished a copy to The Republican for reproduction, feeling that it will in terest Republican readers. It Is as follows: "During my peripatetic- peregrina tions through this beautiful and fertile region, it was my good fortune- to run across a historical relic of almost priceless vabu the only extant first record of the famous fight of the United States frigate Chesapeake, commanded by Commodore Jas. Ijiw rence. and his gallant officers and crew of ::r.l men. The transcript was taken from the log book of the Chesapeake, and i sin. tiie handwriting of the navi gating voffiecr. Henry P. Fleishman, and is - the only one in the United States. The book is in size 13U inches by eight inches, and is ruled off (printed) with large printed headings in every page. I give a fac simile of the printed headings, margins and rul ings without characteristic type. "The gall'int Lawn-nee was mortally wounded in the early part of the ac tion, and his immortal words with his dying breath: "Don't give up the ship." electrified the gallant officers and crew of the Chesapeake, to vindi cate their superior seamanship, as also the unconquerable manhood of Ameri ca of the young but vigorous repub lic. "America lives, and, after passing through the throes of three fearful struggles for her existence, she emerges from the crucial ordeals, re splendent in her effulgent and majes tic glory. Mended in a triple halo to adorn her matchless brov.. "The navigating officer of the Ches apeake. Henry I Fk-lschman. was formerly an officer in the Hritish navy but resigned and cast his fortune with tiie struggling young republic. He was taken as prisoner of war to Lon don anil died in that city. The book was given by .Mr. Fleischnian to his son. Mr. W. H. Cole, of Fort Smith. Ark., in whose possession it now is, nnd to whose courtesy I am indebted for many favors and kind attentions while in this city. Mr. Cole and his graceful, accomplished lady preside over a beautiful establishment in Fort Smith, and Mrs. Cole has the distinc tion of being the only graduate lady pharmacist in the state, and is one of the finest readers and elocutionists In it."

At 4 p. m. repaired on board, and reported myself to Lieu tenant Ludlow, commanding officer. At C p. in., Mr. Ludlow gave- me the command of the main top; at 8 a. m. it began to blow severe, ent down royal and top gallants yards. At 10 p. m. beat to quarters, and saw every thing ready for action. "First day of June. 1S1.1, commenced with pleasant weather. At B a. m. sent up the top gallant yards, and royal yards, at 8 a. m. a large ship being discovered in the offing. Capt. Lawrence sent down a tender to soe what she was, and which proving to be his majesty's frigate Shannon, we cleared the ship for action. At 11 a. m. unmoored the ship and got under way in a very gallant style to meet the foe, with the motto at the prow, 'Sailors' Rights and Free Trade.' The Shannon was in sight, standing off with the top gallant sails taut at half past four, then within four miles we fired the bow gun at her. As soon as we fired the Shannon hove her main topsail aback and took in the topgaitsail: at five sent down the royal yards, and took in the studding sails: at five minutes past five, being within a mile and a half took In our mainsail and jib; at twenty-five minutes past five took in our foresail and brailed up our spanker; the ship was under her three topsails and fore tops mast stay sail; at a quarter before six having come within half pistol shot, the Shan non began the engagement by the af termast gun on the main deck, which was answered by a broadside from the Chesapeake. The fire was kept up for about twelve minutes, when finding' we were falling aboard, the Shannon hav ing come up to the wind, owing to the foretop mast stay sail sheets being shot away and no head sail on the ship, the the captain ordered the jib to be hoisted, but the down haul being en tangled and Mr. White, the sailing master having been killed by the first broadside, it could not be set. He then ordered the fore tack to be hauled abroad and the miz.en ton sail to be shivered, the last of which was done, but the bunt and letch lines being foul, it could not be done before. We were boarded by the enemy on the larboard quarter. About this time the Chesapeake having shot rather ahead, was caught by one of the Shannon's , anchors, and lay oblique athwart our starboard bow, exposed to a most tre mendous fire from the Shannon's nfter guns, which battering our lee quarter nnd entering our port holes, from thence towards the main mast, strew ed our main deck with killed and wounded. Finding the enemy Intend ed to board us. Captain Lawrence ordered the boarders to be called away, but owing to the confusion it was not done, and Lieut. Ludlow and the other officers went to the respec tive divisions on the gun deck to send the men up. previously to their board ing. Capt. Lawrence was carried be low dangerously wounded (since dead). The command then devolved on Lieut. Ludlow, who was carried below dang erously wounded In six places (since dead). "To the early fall of the superior of ficers, and Lieut. Tbidd having been wounded, nnd the damage done to the I rigging, may be attributed the loss of "The Chesapeake had 311 men and boys and 40 marines. We had killed and wounded 1 officers and 160 men. "The Shannon had killed and wound ed lio officers and men. "Thus ended in thirty minutes from th'- firing of the first gun one of the most severe and bloody actions that ever was fought by two single ships. The Shannon mounted 52 guns and had 415 men." CLOSING PRICES ON GLENDALE MELONS A Telegraphic Quotation Last Night That Makes People Feel Good. This is a very short Hem, but it is a big one for its size. Last evening -Mr. Ride, bookkeeper for the commis sion firm of Wool folk & Crutchfield. received a telegram from the east, stating that the last car of canta loupes shipped from Giendale had just been disposed of and brought the following prices: Standards, $.50 per crate; Ponies. $2.50 per crate; Jumbos in Standard crates, $:!.00 per crate. And this to close up the season! It shows that the cantaloupe grow ers should not be discouraged when things go against them temporarily. The market for any produce is liable to break at any time, but it is also very apt to recover with equul sud denness The ' grower who kept right along shipping when there was no profit in it, was there when the profit taking time begun. It is un derstood there were many of the cantaloupe patches of the valley de serted just as soon as the price drop ped and that there are fields that today would still furnish good ship ping melons in considerable quantity had they been given the proper care It is only one more point the local growers must keep in mind if they wish to make the best success of the business another year. It also shows another thing that has been contended all summer by the Giendale people and that is that no finer cantaloupes can be grown anywhere than on the Giendale loess;. NOTICE TO CREDITORS.
