In 1893 it gathered shape in New Haven -and on the petition of Edward G. Buckland and -forty-four others. General Edward E. Bradley of New -Haven, adjutant-general under Governor Luzon B. Morris, -issued an order for the formation of the First Division, -Naval Militia, C. N. G. In November of that year -a division was organized, a month pregnant with meaning -in the annals of the naval establishment of Connecticut, -for it marked the institution of a branch destined to -endure and to be a just cause of pride to the state of -Hull, Gideon Welles and Foote.</p> - -<p class='c013'>The formation of the First Division followed barely -two years after that of the First Naval Battalion in -New York state. Massachusetts had preceded the Empire -State by more than fifteen months, and Rhode Island -by about a year, and when the command in New Haven -organized, the states which boasted naval militia organizations -were Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, -North Carolina, South Carolina, California, Pennsylvania -and Illinois. The total strength of the naval militia in -these states was about 2,100 officers and enlisted men.</p> - -<p class='c013'>It was in March, 1890, that the first command of the -kind appeared in Massachusetts, and in the following -May that the Naval Battalion, Massachusetts Volunteer -Militia, pioneer among “Naval Reserve” organizations in -the United States, was organized. From that germ has -grown a system which now includes naval militia bodies -<span class='pageno' id='Page_12'>12</span>in twenty-three states and has on the rosters between -seven thousand and eight thousand officers and enlisted -men; and has recorded several times that number of -alumni who are in part trained for the country’s hour -of need on salt water.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Interesting stories about the First Division of New -Haven came to the ears of many lovers of salt water in -Hartford. Stories they were of the splendid success of -that crack command, the good times which the fun lovers -of the company enjoyed, the good fellowship shown, the -capacity for hard technical work and the growing esteem -in which it was held both by the adjutant-general’s office -and the Navy Department at Washington. And so it -was that a little knot of similar spirits in Hartford was -formed, men with fondness for yachting on the Sound -or with patriotic pride in the Navy who gravitated -together after a nucleus had been developed.</p> - -<p class='c013'>The proposition for a naval company was received -with a diversity of opinion. One military man of ripe -experience raked it fore and aft in print, but in after -years he discovered the error of his range finder and -became a firm friend of the command in fair weather and -foul. His memory long remained green with the company.</p> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> - <div class='nf-center'> - <div><img src='images/iacorndoodad.jpg' alt='' width='1%' /></div> - </div> -</div> - -<div class='chapter'> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_13'>13</span> - <h2 class='c006'>THE LAUNCHING</h2> -</div> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c002'> - <div><img src='images/iacorndoodad.jpg' alt='' width='1%' /></div> - </div> -</div> - -<p class='drop-capa0_0_6 c012'>It is recorded that most of the originators of this -movement were employees of the Pope Manufacturing -Company or were members of the Hartford Canoe -Club, and that some were luminaries in a social body -known to fame as The Bachelors, but this last declaration -is disputed. It was on March 14, 1896, that an application -to Governor O. Vincent Coffin of Middletown, Commander-in-chief -of the Connecticut National Guard, for -the establishing of another division was drafted. The -paper was guardedly circulated by Louis F. Middlebrook, -then a member of the Brigade Signal Corps, to whom in -large measure the credit of the subsequent birth of the -command is due. On April 11 the application was presented -to His Excellency together with details as to the -cost of equipment, armory quarters and like matters. -Just eighteen days later the governor’s consent was signified -in an order which Adjutant-General Charles P. -Graham issued for the formation of the Second Division, -Naval Battalion, Connecticut National Guard. That date -is entered in the division’s log as its natal day.</p> - -<p class='c013'>On the evening of May 12, Commander Edward V. -Reynolds of the battalion and officers from the division in -New Haven materialized in the even then ancient armory -on Elm Street, never before that night used for any naval -object.

Mr. Perkins had graduated in -1881 from Annapolis as a cadet engineer. He was a -general agent for the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection -and Insurance Company. Mr. Middlebrook was in the -same company’s employ and possessed large executive -ability. Mr. Kelton was a mechanical engineer in the -employ of the Hartford Rubber Works.

An hour -later the cruiser weighed anchor and headed down the -Sound, landing the divisions of the battalion on Gardiner’s -Island, where they went into camp. Till late Sunday -evening it was hard work and plenty of it, but the mettle -of the division was shown in the test. Part of Sunday -evening was spent in “hustling ice,” as one member expressed -it in a letter. Near by were naval militiamen -from Rhode Island and New York.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Monday morning found the division embarking for -the Cincinnati, on which instruction was given during the -day in gun, fire and collision drills. For the great majority -of the men it was their first real experience in work on a -warship, and the novelty and excitement were fascinating. -The following day there was drill in pulling boats with -the new coxswains on their mettle.</p> - -<p class='c013'>A couple of days more of life in camp and on the Cincinnati -with good weather did much towards starting the -men toward man-o’-war form, or so some of them began -to think. Tanned faces, pipes and plug tobacco came into -full evidence. For some it was, perhaps, a picnic in the -open salt air, but an outing in which discipline was strictly -preserved and much practical information was acquired.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Thursday morning reveille was sounded at Camp -McAdoo at 5 o’clock and simultaneously rain began to -<span class='pageno' id='Page_17'>17</span>fall. After mess the battalion struck the tents, turned to -on camp gear and transferred nine boatloads from the -island to the Cincinnati. Most of the men were in water -to their waists. Between the fresh and the salt they were -not incompletely drenched, but their hearts were gay and -when the boats were hove up they tailed on the falls -with a will.</p> - -<p class='c013'>In New Haven there was a short street parade and -when, in the Meadow Street Armory, the First Division -boys saluted and cheered the Second, the tour of duty -was pronounced to be a glorious success. On the station -platform in Hartford on the arrival of the Second Division -that evening was a motley of fathers and mothers, -kid brothers, best girls and other landlubbers, all eager -to welcome the home-faring tin tars.

A craft of the time of -Hiero, a Roman galley, a Viking ship, a French frigate of -the sixteenth century, a warship of Revolutionary days, -one of the time of Hull and then the battleship Indiana -were pictured. In a way the series traced the development -of sea power.</p> - -<p class='c013'>The months of that drill season wore by pleasantly, -the boys at work mainly at infantry, for somehow in those -days the real province of naval militiamen was not clearly -lined out, but with a bit of single-stick work and some -signalling, and when the end of the season arrived most -of the men were well acquainted with the work which had -been laid out.</p> - -<p class='c013'>It was on the battleship Maine that the yearly lessons -afloat were learned. The battleship Texas had been -assigned for the duty, but it became necessary to dry dock -her for repairs, and her sister ship took her place. Ensign -Louis F.

Morgan Wells, Gilbert -and Baxter constituted the baggage detail, which -<span class='pageno' id='Page_19'>19</span>sailed from the steamboat landing at 7:30 on the morning -of Saturday, July 17, on the tug J.

His face -became familiar to most of our men, as did also that of -Lieutenant Wainwright, executive officer at the time of -the explosion, and when that tragedy came the horror -had a personal as well as a patriotic interest for many -members of the Second Division, who remembered by -name and face many a man in the ship’s complement.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Most of the work was at Camp Long or in small -boats, but not a little was on the ship, where gun drill -was among the most interesting of the branches. A lecture -on the Whitehead torpedo was a feature of the -curriculum.</p> - -<p class='c013'>One afternoon during the tour of duty on the Maine, -the signal squads of the First and the Second Divisions -met in a contest for a trophy cup and the squad from the -Second won. The winning team included Quartermasters -Cheney and Wightman and Seamen Bosworth and -V. Morgan.</p> - -<p class='c013'>It is interesting to hark back to the Maine days and to -record that a racing cutter crew was evolved and that it -received some, if not much, instruction and encouragement -from men on the Maine.

At one time and another officers were detailed -and men were drafted to vessels of the “Mosquito -fleet,” and these were scattered all the way down the -coast to Key West and the Havana Blockade, Ensign -Cuntz on the Sylvia having the good fortune to see the -Morro.</p> - -<div class='chapter'> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_25'>25</span> - <h2 class='c006'>COURSE FOUR<br /> <img src='images/iacorndoodad.jpg' alt='' width='1%' /><br /> <span class='large'>THE PRAIRIE</span></h2> -</div> - -<p class='drop-capa0_0_6 c012'>Following the excitement of the war summer -came a reaction. The membership dropped nearly -to the danger point. For a time it was a long and -hard beat to windward, a trying fight with wind, -wave and tide. Like every command from Connecticut -which served in the war with Spain, the division found -many of its best members returning to civilian ranks, -and that to replace them either numerically or in quality -required time and activity. But new blood—or what -might be called a saline infusion—came, and before the -snows melted the division had weathered the worst.</p> - -<p class='c013'>It was the Prairie which was the division’s floating -home on the cruise taken in the following August. On -the 16th the battalion sailed from New Haven harbor. -Two days later the ship was off Gloucester, home of daring -fishermen, and the next day she was in Bar Harbor. -On the 21st she put out to sea. She passed outside Nantucket -Shoals Lightship and opportunity was given to the -men for target practice with great guns at sea, after sub-caliber -coming full service charges. On their return -members of the division spun exciting yarns concerning -diluted saltpeter, embalmed horsehide, hammock ladders -and raids on the officers’ refrigerator.</p> - -<p class='c013'>It is to be chronicled that thirteen states were -represented in naval militia cruises on the Prairie in 1899 -and that Connecticut took third rank among them; also -that the Hartford division won first place among the -three divisions from Connecticut, Bridgeport having -organized the Third Division.</p> - -<div class='chapter'> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_26'>26</span> - <h2 class='c006'>“DEWEY DAY”<br /> <img src='images/iacorndoodad.jpg' alt='' width='1%' /></h2> -</div> - -<div class='figcenter id002'> -<img src='images/i026.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' /> -<div class='ic002'> -<p>LIEUTENANT-COMMANDER LYMAN ROOT</p> -</div> -</div> - -<p class='c018'>Probably the most memorable occasion in the -history of the command was September 30, 1899, -“Dewey Day,” the day of the giant procession in -New York City in honor of the fine old hero of -Manila Bay. When the organizations to represent this -state were selected, it was the Naval Battalion which -headed the list of honor. The First Regiment was not -upon the list, but with honorable patriotism officers of -the regiment who had served in Camp Alger requested of -<span class='pageno' id='Page_27'>27</span>Lieutenant Lyman Root, Lieutenant Parker’s successor, -permission to wear the sailor blue and carry Springfields -in the division ranks. Men who had served in distant -years in the wooden navy and men who had fought under -Dyer in Manila Bay and Wainwright in the combat with -the Furor and the Pluton and had returned to Hartford, -also asked and received the same permission.</p> - -<p class='c013'>With four officers and 112 men the division swung -out from the armory on the evening of the 29th and amid -red fire and with a band blaring at the front paraded to -the railroad station, envied by infantrymen who could not -obtain opportunity to march in the mammoth procession. -At 11 o’clock the company marched into the Second -Regiment Armory in New Haven, stacked arms and was -dismissed for a midnight lunch, at which the men stowed -away steaming coffee and ham sandwiches and received -strict orders not to leave the building. Then they made -living pillows of one another and slumbered innocently -on benches in the gallery till some wee, sma’ hour or -other in the morning, when the Second Regiment crashed -out with “Onward Christian Soldiers,” and summoned -them back to the world of consciousness and sin. At -3 o’clock they fell in and marched out into a hospitable -rain punctuated by milkmen and policemen. Three-quarters -of an hour later they boarded the side-wheeler -Shinnecock. At 4 o’clock the steamer got under way -and the men began to look forward to a night of rest. -One man slept on his arm under a table in the dining -saloon piled six feet high with camp chairs. Another -was lost to the world under the break of the pilot house. -Still another slept on unbaled hay for the field officers of -the Second Regiment. Some slumbered in gangways -and some on the paddle boxes. The mathematical boys -of the division demonstrated the problem that it was -possible to sleep anywhere in space.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Somewhere in the head of the Sound the Shinnecock -fell on an evil time. A bushing on a feathering paddle -<span class='pageno' id='Page_28'>28</span>blade in the starboard wheel misbehaved and a bar -buckled and for three hours she drifted while engineers -made repairs. Finally an emergency landing was made -in a convenient coal yard in Port Morris and the battalion -trotted at double time for two miles over Harlem cobblestones, -arriving just in time to fall in ahead of General -Oliver O. Howard and the Grand Army Division.</p> - -<p class='c013'>During the march the men had a coveted opportunity -to view the one-armed corps commander at close range. -Much of the time the old hero was obliged to ride with -his bridle rein in his teeth and with his chapeau in his -hand in response to the frantic waves of applause which -greeted him. The occupants of the closely packed stands -along the line of march rose in wildly cheering masses -as they caught sight of the grizzled veteran and the men -of the Grand Army of the Republic.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Down Riverside Drive and for four miles in the heart -of the city the battalion marched with fixed bayonets. -It paraded between solid masses of cheering citizens and -almost solid walls of flags and decorations. At every halt -the men were refreshed with fruit, coffee or drinkables, -sandwiches and salads or cigars, and presented with -flowers and souvenirs. At one halt on aristocratic Fifth -Avenue a shower of silk college sofa cushions came down -from window seats and a Princeton cushion was impaled -on the historian’s bayonet.</p> - -<p class='c013'>At the conclusion of the parade many of the division -repaired to restaurants near Madison Square and Union -Square. Dozens of them found, when they stepped to the -cashiers’ coops to liquidate, that unknown civilians had -obtained their checks and paid the bills. A man in a -sailor uniform in New York City that September afternoon -found it no easy task to spend money. Nothing -was too good for the bluejackets.</p> - -<p class='c013'>It is to be recorded that Lieutenant Cuntz, Gunner’s -Mate Huntington, Coxswain Chapin and Seamen -Noble and Nutter preceded the battalion to New York. -<span class='pageno' id='Page_29'>29</span>When the Shinnecock failed to appear, they annexed three -stray regulars from the U. S. S. Texas, and assumed an -advanced place in the column. In one of the spectators’ -stands certain individuals conceived the notion that the -eight were Hobson and the Merrimac survivors. In a -few moments the word was passed over the stand and the -crowd was on its feet in a wild burst of applause.</p> - -<p class='c018'>While Dewey Day experiences were still being talked -over, arrangements were quietly made for a presentation -to the first commanding officer, Mr. Parker, who was -lured to Turnerbund Hall to receive from the command a -gold watch with chain and fob, the chain in the semblance -of a stud-link ship’s cable and the fob a division pin -mounted on a locket.</p> - -<p class='c013'>More of the tang of salt air and of the romance of -the ocean came one evening in the next drill season when -the division mustered in the parlor to listen to a talk by -Professor Henry Ferguson of Trinity College, an honorary -member, who told a thrilling tale of shipwreck in the -mid-Pacific. Professor Ferguson recited the story of the -Hornet, a clipper which sailed from New York in 1866 -for San Francisco. When the ship was several hundred -miles off the Galapagos fire obliged the crew to take to -the three boats, which were provisioned for ten days. -It was decided to head for the north, to keep in the track -of San Francisco vessels. Merchantmen in those days -adhered to Maury’s sailing directions and it was reasoned -that chances would be better in the sea highway than in -attempting to reach land. By day the heat was nearly -intolerable. Nights were treacherous as they induced -squalls of the vindictively sudden nature peculiar to those -Equatorial waters. Day after day wore by with an unbroken -horizon. Finally the boats crawled up into the -trade winds. It was decided to separate the boats to -increase the chance of finding aid. For twenty-five days -the sailors had fought wind, sun, and water and now -<span class='pageno' id='Page_30'>30</span>they were in danger of fighting starvation, the ten days’ -provisions, which had been distributed into one-third -allowances, being nearly exhausted. The remaining -provisions were in turn re-divided, but were gone in a -fortnight. The men surviving sought nourishment in -the chewing of leather and moist clothing. On the point -of utter exhaustion they made a landfall, which proved to -be Hawaii, and were rescued by a crew from a coasting -station. They had spent forty-three days in an open boat -and had traveled nearly three thousand miles.</p> - -<p class='c013'>More of the romance of the sea came to the division -when the story of a “war member,” William Hurd, and -the schooner Intrepid was told. Less than a month after -Professor Ferguson’s lecture, Hurd cleared in New York -with his little auxiliary as a trader to carry trinkets, tin -jewelry, Yankee notions, canned soups, linens and whatnot -to Baranquila and to acquire cocoanuts and rubber -on the Mosquito Coast and islands nearby. His auxiliary -was sixty-one feet on the water line and eighteen feet -beam and thirty-five gross tonnage, or twenty-eight net. -She had a powerful gasoline motor. After she cleared, -Colombian insurrectionists captured Baranquila and -Hurd’s friends in the division began to wonder what -would happen to their former shipmate if an insurrecto -officer ranged alongside with more of an appetite for -grindstones, canned soups and tin jewelry than for international -law. But Hurd was able to take care of himself. -He prospered as a trader, made a bushel of money, spent -it and finally returned.</p> - -<p class='c013'>At the annual banquet of 1900, Admiral Bunce, U.S.N., -retired, was a guest and in his speech pointed out -that foreign intelligence officers knew full well that seven-tenths -of the arms and ammunition made for the government -came from Connecticut. In response to a toast -another speaker, Francis B. Allen, said:</p> - -<div><span class='pageno' id='Page_31'>31</span></div> -<blockquote> -<p class='c013'>“It was one of your honorary members, our distinguished -Admiral Bunce, who, while in command of the -North Atlantic Squadron just prior to the Spanish War, -brought not only the fleet but each individual ship to such -a degree of excellence in squadron evolutions and gun -drills that he enabled his successors to acquit themselves -so creditably that Sunday morning outside Santiago -Bay when Cervera’s squadron tried to escape that the -result afforded us the greatest Fourth of July celebration -since Vicksburg surrendered.”</p> -</blockquote> - -<p class='c013'>A month later Ensign Middlebrook launched the -Veteran Association down well-greased ways, and on -May 23 the battalion had its first field day, assembling at -Savin Rock. It was reserved for Gunner’s Mate Chapin -to make known to Hartford a new method of celebrating -the Fourth of July. He navigated a picked gun crew at -the close of the midwatch from the armory to the City -Hall and at sunrise pumped out a salute of twenty-one -shots from the lean throat of a Hotchkiss one-pounder. -Irate sleepers admitted that Chapin’s method was convincing. -They were justly incensed when he marched -the crew under the Asylum Street bridge and fired a like -salute, and still more so when he took it to the Park -Terrace and discharged a fourteen-shot salute. Chapin -proposed to fire a salute in Wethersfield, but ammunition -ran low.</p> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> - <div class='nf-center'> - <div><img src='images/iacorndoodad.jpg' alt='' width='1%' /></div> - </div> -</div> - -<div class='chapter'> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_32'>32</span> - <h2 class='c006'>COURSE FIVE<br /> <img src='images/iacorndoodad.jpg' alt='' width='1%' /><br /> <span class='large'>THE PRAIRIE AGAIN</span></h2> -</div> - -<p class='drop-capa0_0_6 c012'>That summer’s cruise was on the Prairie and -led to Penobscot Bay. The division sent in a -whaleboat crew to race against one from the -First Division on that water, and its crew -defeated that from the Elm City by a quarter of a length, -one of the New Haven officers marveling at this result -and asserting that it was a mystery of the deep. It also -captured two other boat races.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Later in the summer camping parties spent week-ends -in Paradise, the narrow strip between Bodkin Rock and -the river a short distance below Middletown. The division’s -steamboat and the pulling boats which had come a -season or two before were in popular favor.

They contended -with a hurricane of batting in the second inning and -dragged anchor, but they weathered the storm and won -with an inning to spare. One of the division advocated -a diamond of this kind:</p> - -<p class='c013'>Home plate on the forecastle near the foremast, for -baseline the starboard foremast shrouds and for first base -the foretop; along main topmast stay to second base, the -main top-masthead; down main topmast rigging to third -base, the main top; then down the mainstay and on to the -point of beginning.

At a banquet -in the Pembroke Hotel at Woodmont, General Edward E. -Bradley, adjutant-general when the First Division organized, -and Senator Joseph R.

Still he had men who were fairly -proficient when the battalion had its annual tour of duty, -at Camp Newton on Fisher’s Island. Tent life was -varied by considerable work in pulling boats. It was -expected that a cutter race would be rowed between the -Hartford racing crew and a crew picked from the New -Haven and Bridgeport Division, but the latter did not -materialize. That spectators might not be disappointed, -two crews were selected from the Hartford oarsmen, -Lieutenant Lyman Root acting as coxswain for one and -Assistant Surgeon Carroll C.

It was -decided to name the camp after the first commander of -the division; and to this day the building is known as -Camp Parker. The spot was formally dedicated July 4th -with speeches and an open-air dinner, at which the building -committee in due and ancient form turned the institution -over to the division.

The division boarded the ship in New -London harbor. In the course of the service the Panther -steamed as far east as Menemsha Bight and as far west -as New London, the object of the maneuvers being to -test in a practical way the defenses of the eastern entrance -of Long Island Sound. At sundown of a Saturday the -most powerful fleet to that time assembled in those -waters was riding to anchor in the bight, awaiting the -passage of the hours before midnight ’ere beginning -maneuvers against the string of forts and signal stations -scattered all the way from Woods Hole around to Montauk. -As night shut down, the signal lamps began their -Ardois work. At midnight hoarse orders came from the -Panther’s bridge and the rattle of the steam winch and -the heavy clank of the cable in the hawse pipe announced -that the ship was getting under way.</p> - -<p class='c013'><span class='pageno' id='Page_39'>39</span>Sunday found the ship off Block Island and Monday -evening found her heading north. Just as the watch off -duty was beginning to snore peacefully, the bugle sounded -the call for general quarters. In a moment the gun deck -lights were switched on and ladders and hatches were -choked with men piling to their stations. Masters-at-arms -were unceremoniously rousting out rookies from their -hammocks. In barely more time that it has taken to -write this paragraph the guns were cast loose, ammunition -was provided and the big naval bulldog was in fighting -trim.</p> - -<p class='c013'>One afternoon the battalion had boat drill. Cutters were -lowered and with boat guns working and the landing party -armed with rifles there was a pretty bit of excitement. -A day later the heavy guns belched at a signal station -ashore, which crumbled to theoretic dust. Then the naval -militiamen were mustered at division quarters and a day’s -ration was issued to each man, a two-pound tin of canned -beef to each pair of men and five or ten hard tack (or -ship biscuit) to each man and a canteen full of water -or coffee, as the man elected. The call came for arm and -away boats. With a Colt automatic in the bow of each -cutter the party landed, going into extended order, while -a detail took possession of the telegraph and the telephone -station.</p> - -<p class='c013'>The long line of blue swarmed over a strip of sand -and a bit of swale to a knoll. Then began two hours’ -hard work. Through wire grass and sand grass, through -bushes and brush, across swamp and swale, by farmhouses -and barns, alongside lily ponds, the bending blue -line advanced, officers pointing the way with swords and -squad leaders attempting to keep the files at eight pace -intervals.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Following an advance of four miles in such manner -the “enemy” was located behind the crest of a steep and -high hill. The order for a charge was given and with a -<span class='pageno' id='Page_40'>40</span>yell the men sprinted forward under a heavy shower of -fireworks. Ensign Northam was the first up San Juan -Hill and it was reported that the historian was the last -to reach the summit.</p> - -<p class='c013'>At this juncture the heavens opened and rain came -down in buckets. After a quarter of an hour in the -downpour the battalion started on the return of four -miles. The hike was at route step. At the beach the -oarsmen had a stiff pull against wind and tide in boats -loaded to the gunwales. But the young salts were in -fine spirits and when the order came to “shift to anything -dry” it was received as a joke.</p> - -<p class='c013'>The chief boatswain’s mate of the Panther was C. K. -Claussen, the Claussen who accompanied Hobson on the -Merrimac and was confined in the Spanish prison near -Santiago.</p> - -<p class='c013'>At the end of the week, when the Panther left the -squadron, her course lay between the Olympia, Dewey’s -flagship in the Battle of Manila Bay, and the Brooklyn, -Schley’s in the capture of Cervera. To each was given a -salute with the bugle and the lining of the rail. The -Brooklyn’s band rendered a patriotic air.</p> - -<p class='c013'>In the following fall the division took up target -practice in real earnest and at a special shoot in the South -Meadow Chief Gunner’s Mate Herbert E.

This was presented in Parsons’, so well -that critics agreed that the division could sing as correctly -as it could sail.</p> - -<p class='c013'>In the winter the division tried its fortune again at -indoor baseball, with varying results. On one occasion -it played an exciting game with Company A, won the -game, lost it and won it again, just clearing a lee shore -by a score of 19 to 18.

The steam -whaleboat, by this time christened “Tillie -Hadley,” by her fireman, Gunner’s Mate Arnold, -started down the river August 21, 1903, with the three -pulling boats in tow, carrying nearly a quarter of the -division. The following day the remainder boarded the -Elfrida in New Haven harbor, and she with the First -Division’s small boats in tow steamed to Crescent Bay. -A detail from each division spent eight days afloat and -the rest divided their time between Camp Reynolds at -the state military rendezvous at Niantic and boat drills -in Crescent Bay. The boat work was popular, so much -so that in a few days most of the oarsmen were approaching -man-o’-war form.</p> - -<p class='c013'>At the end of the duty a storm came along which -gave work to militia, the seafaring population and landlubbers. -In the New York <cite>Herald</cite> of the next day it -was printed: “Old seafaring men down that way say -that they never saw the Sound rougher than it was that -night.” A sailboat was washed ashore at White Beach, -two small sailing vessels dragged anchor near Niantic, -a sloop was wrecked to the southwest of the Crescent -Beach landing and a large three-masted schooner dragged -anchor.</p> - -<p class='c013'>The Elfrida steamed out of the bay as the storm was -breaking, on her way to Sandy Hook and the yacht races -with Governor Chamberlain on board. The sou’wester -<span class='pageno' id='Page_43'>43</span>rose into a gale. Seas broke high over the weather rail -to fly across the engine room skylight. The officers on -the bridge and the quartermaster on watch were soon -soaked to the skin in spite of oilskins and pea coats. -It was a fierce night and the brave little ship had a nervy -tussle with the gale. At 3 o’clock in the morning the -Elfrida put into Huntington Bay and dropped anchor, -finding that five large steamers were there riding out -the night, among them the Tremont of the Joy Line, -and the Shinnecock. Stormbound sailing craft were also -in the bay.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Soon after the hook went down it was found to be -dragging, then the ship was taken farther inshore and -both starboard and port anchors were let drop, with a -good length of cable.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Later a distress sign was sighted on a yacht out in -the open water. A volunteer boat crew pulled out and -found the vessel to be the schooner Rosina, from New -Haven, owned by an amateur who had a sailing master, -three women and a cook on board. The owner seasick, -the sailing master called the cook for a moment to the -wheel, while he stepped down into the cabin for a chart. -The cook lost his head and, while in the wind, the -schooner’s main-topmast snapped and her fore-topsail -carried away. The rescuing boat crew found the women -hysterical and with life preservers adjusted. The men -from the Elfrida cleared away the wreckage.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Early in the fall the division entertained members of -H Company, Naval Brigade, M. V. M., of Springfield, at -Camp Parker with an old-time shore clambake. The camp -had become increasingly popular and for a number of -years nearly every Saturday or Sunday afternoon in -midsummer attracted division men to the place, and in -“whites” the boys kept busy making things snug in the -galley or policing the grounds or taking a spin in a -pulling boat below.</p> - -<p class='c013'><span class='pageno' id='Page_44'>44</span>November 18 brought an extraordinary spectacle—a -book bee. At our bell in the first watch, Librarian Palmer -and Jack-o’-the-Shelf McDonald broke out their accessioning -system and the smoking lamp was lighted. The -books given made a startling list. Tolstoy’s “Resurrection” -was found sandwiched between “Alice in Wonderland” -and a volume of Lighthouse Reports. General -Miles, Kipling, Morgan Robertson and Roosevelt were -popular authors. This is history, not romance. An -entertainment followed the book bee. Clog dancing on -the foc’s’le head, nautical songs, selections on cordage -and dead eyes by a banjo quintet and a sword dance by -Coxswain Watson made up the backbone of the evening. -It was seven bells when the rejoicing ceased and the -merrymakers heaved out of the armory, all on soundings -and under easy canvas, except the supposed contributor -of “Resurrection,” who scudded away under a double-reefed -fore-topsail.</p> - -<p class='c013'>The indoor meet of the next February sustained the -division’s reputation. By this time the annual mid-winter -tourney had become known all over Connecticut. The -referees in the series have included such gentlemen as -President Luther of Trinity College and Former Lieutenant-Governor -Lake.</p> - -<p class='c013'>A month later the division was entertained by -H Company of Springfield in the Highland Hotel in that -city, where the company was observing its eleventh -anniversary.</p> - -<p class='c013'>In June (June 19, 1904) the Elfrida came over Saybrook -Bar with Lieutenant Lyman Root in command.

Three -days later, a brilliant reception was given on board her -to Governor Chamberlain. She was dressed fore and aft -and from water’s edge to water’s edge. In the illumination -248 Japanese lanterns were included. Many military -officers were present in full dress uniform.</p> - -<p class='c013'><span class='pageno' id='Page_45'>45</span>The following morning the division paraded to the -foot of Ferry Street, embarking and escorting the governor -and Former Governor Morgan G.

A protected cruiser, the Minneapolis did -not rate a band, but she carried one till the Dolphin came -along and commandeered the musicians. The next day -the ship steamed out to sea for a hundred miles and then -after a diversity of courses came to anchor in Menemsha -Bight. Target practice, while the Minneapolis was steaming -at a rate of ten knots, made one afternoon’s work. In -it the division’s team struck hard times, but in the signal -contest later the division redeemed itself, Quartermaster -Palmer being an easy first among the signal force of the -battalion in the Ardois branch and Quartermaster Ferris -making an especially fine showing with the semaphore -work. The division has for several years been strong -in the signal branch.</p> - -<p class='c013'>When Governor Woodruff chose a naval aide it was -Mr. Chapin who was selected for that high honor, and -when the next commanding officer of the Second was -nominated, Dr. Beach moved up to a lieutenant’s stripes. -Beginning in the ranks Dr. Beach went upon the staff as -assistant surgeon and then back to the Second as ensign.</p> - -<p class='c013'>For a number of years the division had combined with -other commands in the Elm Street Armory to attend an -annual military service in a Hartford church, but in the -<span class='pageno' id='Page_56'>56</span>following December it decided to attend a separate or -sailors’ service, and the church of the Rev.

It is a question why this was chosen, but a -legend has it that the choice was on account of the -nautical hint in the pastor’s name and that in the denomination, -the Baptist. In a sermon on intelligent patriotism -Dr. Main interspersed a number of sailorlike yarns to -illustrate several points.

For several seasons the naval -militiamen had prospered with running mates -from the regulars, but for a reason to be made evident in -the next sentence the pair-off system was not pursued this -time. The Prairie had a skeleton crew of 145 and the -battalion numbered about fifty above those figures. The -start for the run down the coast was made by way of -Montauk Point, rounding which the Prairie put her helm -over for the first long leg on a course of S. 58 degrees W. -Early in the evening the wind began rising and old hands -watched the rookies for symptoms of internal disturbance. -The journey down was a welcome innovation and the -passing of Five-Fathom Bank Lightship and of Winter -Quarter Lightship were events. When the Cape Charles -Lightship came abeam the Prairie went on various courses -until she dropped anchor off the Chamberlin Hotel at Old -Point Comfort. During a part of the run soundings were -made by the Thompson sounding machine, a method that -had been studied in former cruises, but with less interest -than on this. The Jamestown ter-centenary was in -progress that summer and liberty to an unusual extent -was allowed to the battalion. One afternoon about fifty -members of the division visited the Connecticut building -at the exposition. Most of them signed their names in -the register, Boatswain’s Mate Perkins at first directing -the writing class and, when he tired, another petty officer -relieving him. It was with joy nearly equal to signing -<span class='pageno' id='Page_59'>59</span>the pay roll that the sailors affixed their signatures. -Manager Curtis greeted the men with a graceful courtesy -rivalled only by Commissioner Barber’s graceful urbanity. -Maps of the exposition grounds were served out. By -using these and keeping the lead going and working their -jaw tackle, the men made shift to reach proper destinations.</p> - -<div class='figcenter id002'> -<img src='images/i059.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' /> -<div class='ic002'> -<p>LIEUTENANT (JUNIOR GRADE) CHARLES L. HOGAN</p> -</div> -</div> - -<p class='c013'>The same afternoon the men gravitated to a military -carnival on the parade. An impression prevailed in the -division that the division’s tug-of-war team could have -outpulled the team which won in the carnival.</p> - -<p class='c013'>In years gone by cruise clubs had been launched, for -instance the Ham-Bone Club at Fort Wright and the -Fore-Top on the Hartford. In Jamestown the Kimona -Club was organized with Lieutenant Hinckley at its head. -<span class='pageno' id='Page_60'>60</span>It consisted of a president, a vice-president, a secretary -and a chancellor of the exchequer, with an understudy for -each.</p> - -<p class='c013'>On another afternoon Commissioner Barber made his -return call. He witnessed hammock and dunnage bag -inspection, a “ceremony” which our men loved as -cordially as the devil loves holy water. He saw, also, -Underwood typewriters in the paymaster’s office and -rejoiced at the use of a Hartford product.</p> - -<p class='c013'>In the fall information came that the Elfrida was to -leave Connecticut waters and that the unarmored gunboat -Machias was to take her place as the battalion’s practice -ship. The new ship was built in Bath, Me., in 1892. She -is of steel, has two masts. Her length is 204 feet, her -beam 32 feet, her mean draft 12 feet, her displacement -1,777 tons, her net tonnage 398, her speed 15½ knots -and her horse power 1,484. She has accommodations for -nine officers and about 132 men, or about six times as -many men as the Elfrida could sleep.</p> - -<p class='c013'>A Christmas tree in the division parlor brought joy to -all hands and astonishment to not a few. It was accompanied -by an innocuous punch of pink tea caliber, followed -by Mother Carey sandwiches, saltpeter and frozen rating -badges (Neapolitan ice cream). Skylights were closed, -all glims were doused and current was turned on for -small electric lamps in a hemlock, which had been decorated -with marlinspikes, rope yarns, and cornucopias. -Lieutenant (Junior Grade) James A. Evans, rigged gaily -as Santa Claus, served out gifts from the break -of the quarter deck, assisted by Boatswain’s Mates -Perkins and Wyllie and Gunner’s Mate Dickerman. Mr. -Hinckley received a miniature Tillie Hadley. Mr. Hogan -was presented with a milk wagon. To Seaman Barnes -was given a rake. Gunner’s Mate Dickerman, who held -the championship of the fleet at the deck game of -bowling, was helped to a children’s set of tenpins. Quartermaster -Palmer, impressario of the Banzai orchestra, drew -<span class='pageno' id='Page_61'>61</span>an accordion. A village character in the company received -an allowance of jaw tackle. A certain apprentice seaman -was the recipient of a “hammock ladder,” which dates -back to the berth deck of Father Noah’s Ark.</p> - -<p class='c013'>March 17, 1908, an order was issued from the -adjutant-general’s office marking the passing of the -“battalion.” The official title of the force was changed to -Naval Militia, Connecticut National Guard. Ratings -were officially prescribed, those of the first class in the -division being the following: Master-at-arms, boatswain’s -mate, gunner’s mate, machinist’s mate and water-tender.</p> - -<p class='c013'>May 21 the Tillie Hadley was taken to Saybrook and -exchanged for the First Division’s steam cutter. Later -the Tillie went to the New York Navy Yard. The -departure of the old steam whaleboat marked the passing -of one of the company’s time-honored institutions. The -boat’s successor is variously known as the Hallie Tidley -and the Merry Widow.</p> - -<p class='c013'>The observance of a division memorial day began this -year, actives and veterans assembling at noon, May 30th, -for a service, and parading in the afternoon as part of -the escort to the Grand Army of the Republic.</p> - -<p class='c013'>In midsummer a movement came to reorganize the -Veteran Association.

The cruise was mostly in the Sound. The -ship was engaged in squadron maneuvers.</p> - -<p class='c013'>A flotilla of six torpedo boats accompanied the squadron, -as did also four submarines. Boats of this kind were -in 1908 comparatively new to many in the company, and -when Ensign Hogan found an opportunity to make a -descent in a submarine he embraced it.</p> - -<p class='c013'>Back in Hartford the men grew busy in preparing for -the Bridge Dedication, the most important festivity -which the city has ever conducted, to which the command -voted to invite its old nautical guest, H Company of -Springfield, down.</p> - -<p class='c013'>The dedication opened October 6 with the firing of a -salute, by the division, of course.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg -Literary Archive Foundation - -Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide -spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of -increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be -freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest -array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations -where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND -DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular -state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. - -Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation -methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other -ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To -donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate - -Section 5.
