One dark, rainy night a sailor from Cape Cod named Samuel Dewey (whose grandson was des- tined for future fame as the "Hero of Manila Bay") rowed out to where the Constitution was riding at anchor between two other ships.

But. because he was In a htirry and the light was so poor, he made his cut just beneath "Old Hickory's" nose and not at the neck as he bad planned. But he succeeded In making his escape with the head and the Whigs were Jubilant while the In turn raised a terrible uproar "outrage" that had been perpetrated. Democrats over the next went to Washington where, after exhibiting It to the leading Whigs, he carried It tied up In a cloth to the Navy department where he sought an interview with Mahlon Dlckerson, secretary of the navy. Then, according to a contemporary account, he was admitted to Dicker-son'office, with the following result: Dewey s honor of addressing the secretary "Have I the of the navy?" "Yon have, thank you Secretary, "Mr, the asked the chunky sailor. and as I am very busy, It, I am the man who removed to and I have brought it here said Captain Dewey. fiRiirehead, restore are the man who disfigure 'Old Ironsides?

If you desire it, 1 will go back to Mid dlesex county, Massachusetts, and stand my trial." "You are right," said the secretary, after a moment's reflection; "and now tell me how you took away the head." told the story, and Dlckerson asked him to wait until he had stepped over to the Dewey and showed the head to the Presi White House dent, When sa w the President Jackson heard the story and he burst Into loud laughter. "Why, that is the most Infernal Image I ever saw," said he, "The fellow did right Give him a kirk and my compliments and tell him to saw It head, off again." When the Whigs came into power later, Dewey been rewarded with the appoint ment of a post mastership In a small Virginia town and to the end of his days he enjoyed the distinction of having been "the man who cut off Old Hickory's head." To add to that distinction Is said to have he a on his visiting cards a picture under which were the words: had printed hand-sa- came; I saw; I of "I conquered I" The subsequent history of the Jackson figurehead Is shrouded with mystery. According to one account, the head was restored and fastened unusually large bolt to prevent a Dewey's feat This figure, it is said, graced the ship for 40 years and bad a narrow escape from another "outrage" at the beginning of the Civil war.

Another story Is of I y t ? w,- d the Caroline J S feathered and fringed garb, stern statesmen, kings and queens and gods and goddesses were set beneath the bowsprits as emblems of a tradition that had endured since first men went down to the sea In ships. But when steam and steel replaced wind and wood, they took away much of the romance of the old seafaring days and with It the traditional figurehead. Today they are ("O tempora I O mores!") "landlubbers" in that you are more likely to find them in museums or set up on pedestals on private estates or In public parks than you are to find them In their proper place at the g bow of a vessel. They are also "col lectors items" in that they represent examples of "American primitives" or "American folk art," sharing that distinction with such things as cigar store Indians and cast Iron deer and dogs for lawn ornaments. (Incidentally when those artisans who carved ships' figure heads were thrown out of 'work at the end of the clipper era, they turned their talents to carv ing wooden Indians for the traditional sign of the tobacco store and this helped keep their alive for many years.) As collectors' Items they frequently have a value attached to them greater than their makers ever could have dreamed they would have and as relics some of them have bad more romantic histories than ever they had while they were voyaging on the waters of the world. One of the most romantic Is that of the figure of Andrew Jackson which once adorned the bow of the U. S. S. Constitution, the frigate affec tionately known to all Americans as "Old Iron sides," and It was Just a hundred years ago. In 1834, tnat tms tlgureneaa was the center of a bitter political row. "Old Ironsides" had no less than six different figureheads during her long and honorable career, but the Jackson figure had by far the most Interesting history. Built In 1797, the Constitution bore first a bust of Hercules, typifying the strength of union and the power of the new nation and carved by the Skillings brothers of Boston, renowned makers of ships' figureheads. But when, under the com mand of Commodore Richard Preble, "Old Iron sides" sailed Into the harbor of Tripoli to attempt the conquest of the Barbary pirates, the figure of Hercules suffered severely from the effect of hostile shots and It was replaced by a figure of Neptune, said to have been taken from the wreck of a vessel In the Mediterranean. During the second administration of Andrew was. sent to the Jackson, the Constitution Charles Town navy yard near Boston to be rebuilt and reconditioned. At that time the dis pute over the United States bank was at Its height and when the "solid men of Boston" heard that Jackson had signed the order for removing Its deposits to state banks, they were furious Their anger was increased when they learned that L. S. Beecher, a famous Boston carver, had been commissioned to make a statue of Jackson as a figurehead for "Old Ironsides.' They tried to get Beecher to cease work on the figure but he refused and feeling became bo Intense that his block of wood was removed to the navy yard where he finished his work under the protection of a guard of marines, The Whigs raised a terrific uproar over the matter, saying that no living man save perhaps James Madison, the father of the United States Constitution, should be accorded the honor of having his image adorn the ship named fot that document and some of the sailors around Boston declared that placing an eifigy of a landsman on war-bonne- ts feAl-ftiTl - 'i P MAWW-'- I the per ships were the greyhounds of the ocean.

For free particular, addrca that a new figurehead of Jackson was made for the Constitution after Dewey had decapitated him and that It is this replica which now stands on the scademy grounds. The head which Dewey carried away, according to this version, did not turn up, de spite the rewards that were offered for It, until uiuny years later and this original, which sold a few years ago for $15,000, Is now In the pos session of a private collector. The Andrew Jackson figurehead, whether thi original or a replica. Is not the only famous one at the Naval academy in Annapolis. Even richer In tradition Is that of a scowling Indian chieftain "Old Tecumseh." the "God of 25" which stands In front of Bancroft hall. This figurehead originally graced the bow of a the Delaware, built In the navy yard at Norfolk, Va., In 1817 and was supposed to be a likeness of Tamanend, the most famous of chiefs of th Delaware Indians. (He was also known as Tam many, and as such became the patron god of the New York political society.) At the beginning of the Civil war the Dela ware was out of commission at the Norfolk navy yard. When the navy yard was destroyed in ISG1 she was scuttled and burned, but after the close of the war what remained of her hulk was sold to wreckers, who raised and broke her up and the figurehead wns sent for copper in 1S0G-'Cto the Naval academy, where after occupying several sites finally in 1909 was placed on a pedestal facing Bancroft hall. Gradually the tradition of "Tamanend's" mys terious power of Imparting knowledge was estab lished. Also by this time he bad been renamed "Tecumseh" by the middies and had become the "God of 2.5" (the passing mark at the academy) Later his powers were Increased and he was charged with gaining victories for the navy teams. As the regiment of midshipmen departs for the big games each platoon gives a "lefthanded snlute" to him that the Navy may win that day. Another ceremony is centered around "Tecumseh." When the final examinations are concluded the graduating class gathers before him to read Its class history and pay final homage to his steadfast aid. In more recent years the ravages of time were threatening "Old Tecumseh," so a movement, sponsored by the class of 1891, was put under way to replace the wooden figure with an exact replica in bronze. This was done about five years ago but even though the midshipmen now toss their rennles before a bronze "Old Tecumseh as they pass Bancroft hall and Invoke his aid In the Imminent quiz, the original wooden figure head Is still carefully preserved at Annapolis.

Franklin, launched In 1S15, and another, taken from the Spanish Don Ao- tonla de Ulloa, destroyed by Dewey at the battle of Manila Bay. Dewey's flagship at that battle, the Olympla, had an Interesting figurehead. It was a bronze winged goddess of victory, holding aloft an eagle, and It was designed by the fa mous sculptor, Augustus Saint Gaudens. The Buffalo (N. Y.) Historical society has a notable collection of ships' figureheads, one of the most famous being a bust only 19 Inches high. It is a smiling woman, wearing a coronet and Is supposed to be a portrait bust of Queen Caroline of England, since it was the figurehead of the steamer, the Caroline, which was built in the early part of the Nineteenth century. During the Upper Canadian rebellion of 1837. the Caroline was said to have been In the service of the rebels and one night she was towed from her moorings In the Niagara river, set on fire and set adrift. The charred timbers of the ship floated over Niagara falls, and were dashed to pieces on the rocks. But by some strange quirk of fate the smiling face of Queen Caroline survived the perils of both fire and water and was found comparatively uninjured In the lower Niagara river near Lewlsfon.
