HISTOBIC FRIGATE GOES TO JTJNK PILE. ■ The charred hulk of the historic frigate Granite, State, whose keel was laid for the debutante AmericanN Navy more than a. century ago, was towed towards the. j uhk pile, in March from the spot in the Hudson at NinetySixth , Btreot, where she' went •-. up :n Bames'>and down in the mud last.May (stated the "bpringfieid. Republican"). A bugler of the naval militia, whioh used the frigate as a training snip during the recent years, sounded taps as tugs pulled her across the river. Oh the Jersey bank the 200 tons of copper in the'ehip will be salvaged and her hardwood, removed and sold to coffin, manufacturers. ' The Granite State! never fired a gun at an enemy nor was fired upon in her long years of service. Her weight and cumbersome lines-Hshe looked almost like a bulky houseboat —kept her out of action—or that,"as least,' is the explanation given by those familiar with the old ship's history. When her keel was-laid in 1814 the frigate was designated United States j ship Alabama,- and she bore that name until 1847, when sTie : was rebuilt and rechristened, this'time as the New Hampshire, a name which stuck' until the navy turned the frigate over to the militia years afterwards. Then she became the Granite State. It was not until 1855 that the frigate returned out to sea. Three gold spikes are supposed to be encased hy, the aged wooden beams somewhere within ,the old ship. - Each is reputed to weigh two .pounds, and to have been driven by a State Governor. These spikes will be sougnt during the salvaging operations. No more grinding of. teeth with 'Wade's Worm Figs. l
