For this famous brig, which was Commodore Oliver Hazard Perrys flagship at the Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812, has fallen on evil days and is slowly rotting away at the Municipal pier at Erie, Pa. However, at a- - meeting held in Cleveland, recently, through the initiative of Frank Wilford, an Elyria (Ohio) attorney, the Perry-Nlagar- a Memorial association was organized with the sole purpose of restoring the Niagara before It is too late.

Immediately both Americans and British began construction of war vessels and there soon developed tf thrilling race with time. s There was feverish activity in the British at Malden, opposite Detroit, and far to the east In the harbor of the little town of Erie there were even more anxious moments. For upon Oliver Hazard Perry, a native of Rhode Island, who had reached the rank of commander although not yet twenty-eigh- t years old, rested the responsibility for building and manning a fleet which could successfully cope with the naval power that Great Britain was preparing to place upon the lake. When he came to Erie, only the materials for his ships were there and those materials were the unhewn timber of the forest. Shipbuilders, sailors, naval stores, guns and ammunition had to be brought thither from distant points over roads which were little better than mere trails. Letter after letter be wrote to his superiors In the East, begging for more men, more supplies, more money, more of everything which ha would need ship-yard- DEAFNESS NOISES RtUtVtt t bp LEONARD is C.

Title to the ship will remain With the city of Erie, but the association plans to borrow the vessel from the city for an annual patriotic cruise among the Lake Erie cities each summer, where It can be visited by thousands as an object lesson in history and patriotism. Since the victory which Perry won in this ship was such an important one In our national history, the association believes that patriotic Americans everywhere will be glad to share in the responsibility of saving it Not only was the Battle of Lake Erie, In which the old Niagara bore such a proud part, an important one because of the results of Perrys victory, but it was also one of the most romantic Incidents In our history. The youth of the commander, the apparent hopelessness of his task, the desperate nature of the fighting, the thrilling Incident of his transfer from the shattered Lawrence to the Niagara which proved to V the turning point In the battle, and his laconic message to General Harrison, announcing his victory, all combine to make It so.

He reached Sandusky August 17 and was met there by General Harrison who came aboard the Lawrence to confer with Perry on the fall campaign. Then he sailed out into the lake to look for the enemy. On the morning of September 10, 1813, the lookout on the Lawrence sang out Sail hoi and In the distance off the Americans saw British fleet advancing in faultthe less battle array. Commanded by Bobert H.

Put-ln-Ba- y long-awaite- d Strength of Fleets Compared Of the relative strength of the two fleets, Bancroft, the historian, says: In ships, the British had the superiority their vessels being stronger and their forces being more concentrated; the American gunboats at the right of the American line, separated from each other by at least a half cables length, were not near enough for good service. In the number of guns the British had 63. the Americans, 64. In action at a distance, the British, who had 35 long ran&e guns to 15, had greatly the advantage; In close action the weight of metal would favor the Americana. The British commander had 150 men from the royal navy, 60 Canadian sailors, and 240 soldiers, mostly regulars, and some Indians, making, with their officers, a little more than 500 men, of whom at least 450 were efficient. The American were from Rhode crews, of which about island, regular seamen, American and raw volunteers cosmopolitan, about from Pennsylvania, Ohio, but chiefly Kentucky, arid about blacks, numbered on the mwster roll 490, but of these, 116 were sick, nearly all of whom were too weak to come on deck, so that the efficient force of the equadron was a little less than 400. one-four- th ne ht twenty-sevent- C7, fa one-four- th one-four- th one-four- th As the American fleet advanced to attack, led by the Lawrence, the Detroit opened fire.

It was struck many times before be could got close Back in the little town of Sandusky the Inhabitants listened to the roar of battle that came across the waters with anxious fear and wonder. If Perry won, it meant peace and security for them. If the British won it meant a British invasion and the onslaught of their savage allies led by Tecumseh against the towns of Ohio.
