voya ;e in June of 1885. Under a con

she was entrusted with the fast mad
of England and Europe.
Under command of Captain V
Goodrich, U. S. N., she was equippe
with heavy guns as an auxiliary emis*

first adventure of note was when tK
was ordered to cut the cable b ;twi*on

On June Id, 189S, she captured th<*
British freighter Twickenham which
