SAVANNAH MAKES
RECORD MADE
The honor of first navigating the j
sea with a steauier belongs to an Amer
ican, Colonel John Stevens of New
York. Transatlantic steam navigation
was long discussed before any one com
blning sufficient skill with courage and !
a spirit of adventure made the bold
attempt
The I.ondon Times In Its Issue of
May 11. 1819. thus announced the ex
pected event: "Great Experiment.—A
new steam vessel of 300 tons has been
built in New York for the express pur
pose of carrying passengers across the
Atlantic. She Is to corno to Liverpool
direct."
On the very day that this brief
notice appeared the vessel referred to
was visited by the president of tho
United States ami suit and made a
short trial trip previous to her depar
ture on the hazardous voyage.
This steamer, named the Savannah,
the llrst that crossed any of the oceans,
was built at the clly of New York by
Francis Flcket for Daniel DodiL She
was launched on the 23d of August,
ISIS. She could carry only seventy
flvc tons of coal and twenty-five cords
of wood. Tho Savannah sailed from
the city of Savannah. Ga., on the 25th
of May, 1810. bound for St. Petersburg,
via Liverpool. She reached the latter
port on the 20th of June, having used
steum eighteen days out of the twenty
six, and thus demonstrated the feasibil
ity of transatlantic steam navigation.
As the Savannah approached Cape
Clear, on the southern coast of Ireland,
and smoke was seen to Issue from her.
It was at first supposed that a sailing
vessel was on fire, and one of the king's
cutters was dispatched to her relief
But great was their wonder at their
inability, with all sail In a fast vessel,
to come up with a ship under bare
poles. After several shots were flred
from the cutter the engine was stop
ped and the surprise of her crew at
the mistake they had niado. as well
as their curiosity to see th? singular
Yankee craft, can be easily Imaging.
They asked permission to go on board
and were much gratified by the inspec
tion of this "naval novelty." Upon ap
proaching Liverpool hundreds of peo
ple came off in boats to see the Savan
nah. On approaching the city the ship
ping piers and roofs of houses were
tbronse.l wtl'.i persons cueoi ms mc m
venturous craft. Several naval officers
noblemen and merchants from Lon
don came down to visit the boat and
were very curious to ascertain her
speed, destination and other particu
'ars.
During the so.'ourn of the Savannah
at Liverpool the Rrltish public re
garded the beat with suspicion, and the
newspapers of the day suggested the
idea that " this steam operation may
be in some manner connected with the
ambitious views of the United States."
One journal, recalling the fact that
Jerome no:1.".; arte had ofTered a large
reward to any one who would sue
ceed in rescuing his brother Napoleon
from St. Helena, surmised that the
Savannah had this undertaking In
view
The Savannah remained twenty-five
days at Liverpool and sailed for St. Pe
tersburg on .luly 23. "getting under
way with steam" and "a large fleet of
vessels in company." The boat touched
en route at Copenhagen, where It ex
cited great curiosity, and also at Stock
holm, where she was visited by the
royal family.
On the 5th of September the steamer
left Stockholm. On the 9th she reached
Kronstadt, having used steam the
whole passage, and a few days later
reached St. Petersburg.
Here the vessel was visited by tba
Russian lord high admiral, Marcus de
Travys. and other distinguished mili
tary and naval officers, who also tested
her superior qualities by a trip to Kron
stadt The Savannah remained at St.
Petersburg until Oct. 10 and then set
sail on her homeward voyage "In com
pany with about eight sail of shipping."
She arrived at Savannah on Tuesday.
Xov. 80. and shortly afterward was
taken to the navy yard at Washington.
The subsequent history of the Savan
nail .can b<vtold in .a few words. Qn.ac
Unusual i>i>e[iarutious were made one I
morning in Sbmsanjl, or the Going
Out of the Mountain temple, a quaint
Utile place of worship hidden away In
a labyrinth of crooked streets In a poor
quarter of Tokyo—preparations for a
celebration ou the Sumidn river to
pray for the repose of the souls of all
those slain In battle regardless of na
tionality ni:d to scalier wraps of paper
bearing the Image <. f Jizo Kama over |
the waves, oue for each departed spirit
The chief priest, uu aged man. with
his assistant and the supj>or!ers of the
temple, h.nd been busy fur days In ad
vance. and all was ready The red and
gold altar of Stinssanji was heaped up
with offerings of rice and fruit, and a
plain wooden tablet had been placcd
there bearing the wt.,ds:
"To console ail those souls who have
passed into the beyond Ijccousc of '
war." |
The old priest, his bald head shining
clad in his coarse cotton robe of gray
officiated before the altar, and wheu the
last prayers were uttered the people
formed a procession to the Sutnida riv
er, a short distance awav
Near a bridge an unusual craft wa<<
waiting, a deep cargo junk roofed over
with canvas bearing bold black Bud
dhist symbols, nnd at (he bow fluttcrod
a white cotton banner on which was
written In large lilac!; characters:
"A service to console the spirits of
the whole world's departed ones."
Quickly the parishioners embarked
and squatted down upon the cushions
spread over the bottom of the boat, and
the priest, the central figure in the re
llgious ceremony, as gray and faded as
the robes he wore, took up his position
In front of the altar. A piece of soiled
embroidery did duty for an altar cloth
and there was set up a tarnished statue
of Jizo Sama. .lust below were three
wooden tablets. The central one read.
"Pray for the whole world's departed
ones' souls." The others had inscrip
tions asking for prayers for the Jap
anese army nnd for prayers for the
allies of Japan.
The priest placed some sweet scented
squares of incense upon the eoals in a
small brass brazier, and as the clouds
rose into the air the boatman with his
bamboo pole pushed off from the shore
and the holy man's voice was heard
chanting—all the worshipers, old worn
en and young, men nnd children, mur
muring in an undertone, "Name Amid::
Butsu!"
uur upon tnc Mimuin hm-i iuc
mony of scattering the papers was be
I gun. Old aud young with their hands
full leaned over the sides of the junk.
I throwing away the sacted papers with
the effigy of Jizo Psnia stamped there
on, each meant for the solace of the
soul of some soldier slain in battle.
Those who have mourned dear ones
slain in war would have been touched
to the quick by this simple service of
humble Japanese people given for all
that great host of unknown who have
laid down their lives for their countries

Securing a Prisoner.
A sheriff, annoyed by the crowd
which follows when a prisoner Is taken
along a public thoroughfare handcuffed
to a policeman, devised a simple way
of handcuffing a prisoner so that he
can be taken through a crowd with
out every one being aware that he is
really In shackles. Instead of locking
the prisoner to the officer, the prisoner
is handcuffed to a heavily laden suit'
case, which he is required to carry
The suitcase Is filled with bricks and
weighs from twenty to fifty pounds,
making escape very difficult—Detroit

He is sometimes slave who should be
master and sometimes master who
should be slave.—Cicero.
worshipers chanted unceasingly, and
the squares of paper fluttered out of
the boat on all sides and were carried
away by the wind over the water to
make a long wake behind the vessel.
For three hours the temple Junk
floated down the river, the papers fall,
ing noiselessly over the waves as the
banks of the Sumlda were passed.
A bait was made at noon, when thin
white wooden boxes filled with rice
and vegetables were brought out, while
an old woman brewed the tea over a
little charcoal Are.
The spot at which the stop had been
made was a sacred one, for in that ex
act place a Jlzo Sama stone had been
buried under the water. Here after
the simple meal a special service was
held before the boat returned up
stream, and a long, narrow piece of
wood was driven into the sandy bot
torn of the bay. The inscription upon
it read literally as follows:
"Herewith the service is held for the
whole world its departed soldiers to
console."—London Times.
