FROM WOOD TO
DREADNAUGHTS
WASHINGTON. July 20. — Rear
Admiral Stephen Luce, who died Sat
urday at the age of 00. began his na
val apprenticeship on a wooden
man-o’-war of seventy-four guns. He
lived to command a squadron of float
ing fortresses of steel. He saw six
teen modern American warships make
the same grand tour of *he earth that
he had made a half century before on
the old wooden Columbus. He visit
ed Japan when a youth and when that
nation was classed as barbarous and
weak, and lived to see her develop
into a world power on land and sea.
The rear admiral was a fighter; he
believed in the stern necessity for
war.
Born in Albany, N. \.» March 25,
1827, he swore fealty to his country
at the age of 14, when he became a
midshipman in the navy. At IP he
was following Commodore Slort and
Stockton along the Pa. ific Coast in
the Mexican war. Two years later he
was studying at Annapolis, which was
then only three years old, .‘or pro
motion to passed midshipman, lhc
next few years he passed in cruis
ing about the world and increasing
his knowledge of naval tactics.
At the outrbeak of the Civil War,
Luce was lieutenant on the Wabash,
charging to five different vessels be
fore peace was declared.
At the age of 54 he was promoted
to the rank of comomdore and given
command of the North Atalantic
Squadron. Four years later he was
advanced to rear admiral. Another
four years passed and then he was
retired from the active list, having
reached the retiring age of 62, in
1889.
Rear Admiral Luce was recognize !
as an authority on naval tactics ai I
training. He wrote “Seamanship,
which became a textbook for naval
students at Annapolis.
