The Shannon left- algae ,Match' -2.1 acese e e.'d e m. ni�' a . dby Eli A. @ � n (Captain Hyde Parker) to estab- Ilisp a blockade on Boston. Although she. had not been test- ed in action, the Shannon was ready and eager' for a ;ilght. Wil- liam James, in "The Naval eli{stery of Great Britain" (MadMilian, 1902), reports that in 1806, when Captain Broke 'Cook over the ship, "By draughts front other ships, and the usual means to which a British man-ot war is obliged to resort, the Shannon got together a crew; and in the course ofa jrear or two, by the paternal care and excellent regulations of 'Captain Broke, an undersized, not very well dispos- ed and, in point of age, rather mot- ley, otley, ship's company became as pleasant to command es they would have been dangterons to meet." Two American slips, the Presi- dent and Constitution, were in port when the British frigates showed - their sails off Boston. The Consti- tution was nearing completion of an extensive refit and the Presi- dent was ready for sea. One dark night, aided by a favorable wind shift and a murky fog, the two ships made their escape. And, at practically the same time, the American frigate Chesapeake slip- ped • safely into Boston. .

Prueter, Brodhagen; Selwyn Baker, Brus- Captain Broke was sorely disap- pointed but°waited patiently for a showdown. As the weeks passed he became more and more deter- mined to ,draw the American out. Accordingly, to even the match, he detached the Tenedos with instruc- tions to rejoin around the 14th of June, by which time he hoped to have settled the business at hand. Then' began the highly refined and gentlemanly negotiations to induce the Chesapeake to come out and fight. Broke composed a letter and for- warded it to Captain James Law- rence of bhe Chesapeake. As it developed, the American ventured forth before he received the"letter, apparently.. goaded.....inte action by- the ythe humiliating presence of a Bri- tish frigate within sight of the city of Boston. But the letter which, James says, " .. for candour, man- ly spirit, and gentlemanly style, stands unparalleled," is well worth quoting. Captain Broke 'began: "As the Chesapeake appears now ready for YOUR FAVOURITE REVFRA:E KIST LEMON — LIME PHONE STONE'S FOR PROMPT REMOVAL OF DEAD OR DISABLED COWS — HORSES• WM. STONE SONS LTD.

Weeks Of Waiting Over ' He wound up by saying: ' "I en- levet ntreat ,you, sir, do not imagine that I am urged by mere personal emi- tter -to the wish of meeting the Chesapeake; or that I depend only upon your personal ambition for your acceding to this invitation. We have both nobler motives. You will feel it as a compliment if I say, that the result of our meeting may- be the most grateful service I can render to my country; and I doubt not that you, equally confi- dent of success, will feel convinced that it is only by repeated tri- umphsin even combats that your little navy can now hope to con- sole your country for the loss'of that trade it can no longer pro- tect. Favor me with a speedy re- ply. We are short of provisions and water, and cannot stay longer here." At noon on June 1 the Chesa- peake set sail. The letter wad on its way to Lawrence: The Shannon, her captain andcrew jubilant after their many weeks of waiting, set light canvas to give her steerage way. . Smoking Melee Begins The breeze was light as the Chesapeake closed her eager foe. The two ships sailed, almost as if in formation; about 100 yards apart on the same course. Hun- dreds of Bostonians lined the shore to watch the contest, as if it were a boxing match. The Chesapeake was adorned with three ensigns and, flying at the fore, was a -large white flagbearing the slogan, "Sailors' Rights and 'Free Trade," as James says, "upon a supposition, perhaps, that this favorite American motto would paralyze the efforts, or damp the energy of ,the Shannon's men." At 1705 that afternoon the Chesa- peake closed to within 50 yards of the Shannon , and the 'Shannon's aftermthat main deck fired the- at smoking ball of the. fight. A second later her 13th gun spat, and an answering shot came from the American's bow gun. The smoking melee was on and in each ship ev- ery gun which could be brought to bear on the other was fired, re- 'aded andfired again. At the height of the ear-splitting fight, the Chesapeake found herself drawing ahead of the Shannon, which was almost becalmed under the American's blanketing canvas. Captain Lawrence, to _hold the weather -gauge -(up-wind advant age, turned his ship higher into the wind. But with part sheets, and her helm unmanned the ship swung up too fast. • She fell into irons, and rapidly lost way. The Chesapeake lay with her quarterdeck exposed• to the raking broadside fire of the Shannon's ex- cellent gunners, yet few of her own guns could he brought to 'bear: INGERSOLL 21 WM.

Provo William Parry .Wallis, a native of Halifax, sailed the Shannon back to port with her prize.

Provo Wallis rose to the rank of Admiral of the Fleet and, in. honor of his ' services in the Napoleonic wars, was retained on the -active list of the Navy until the time of his death at the age of 101 years. Winding up his account of the battle, James says, "Gallant, truly gallant, was the behaviour of Cap- tain Lawrence," The American was seriously wounded in the fight and died as the ships made their way to Halifax. He was later buried with full naval honors in the Bri- tish naval cemetery there. His ship was taken to England, sold to the government, recommis- sioned for a short time, then sold and rbroken up in 1820. Many of her timbers were used' to build a mill in the Meon Valley and houses in Portsmouth.

Mr. and- Mrs. Charles Kieber last week. Chesapeake Boarded The Chesapeake finally got stern way on her and inched toward the British ship. Broke ordered his helm put "hard -a -lee." He did not wish to aboard the heavily manned American ship until his guns had. inflicted more casualties. But the Shannon, tbo, responded slowly. Her jib stays had been cut through and it was impossible to work can- vass efficiently. Thus, at 1800, the Chesapeake "fell on board" the Shannon and held fast as the fluke of the 'Shan- non's anchor jammed in the Ameri- can's quarter -port. Captain Broke rushed forward, giving the cease fire to his heavier guns, calling for boarding parties to stand by and ordering'his men to lash the ships together. Two minutes after the 'ships met, Cap- tain Broke and 20 men leaped aboard the Chesapeake's deserted quarterdeck. As they worked for- ward, 20 or 30 Americans put up a brief struggle but ended by running to the forecastle where some of them scrambled down the fore hatchway and. a few jumped oyer the ship's side. Reinforcement soon arrived from the Shannon. As they fought, a dangerous harrying fire rained on them from above. One of the Shan- non's 9 -pounders was directed to fire into the American's upper decks. Two parties stormed the main and mizzen tops and 'succeed- ed in driving all the snipers back on deck. Hand -To -Hand Combat Tihe forecastle was quiet now. After posting sentries on the cap- tured men, the captain turned to amidships where there was sharp hand-to-hand fighting. As he wheel- ed around—alone for the moment— three burly sailors attacked him. Broke parried the first man's pike and felled him, but the second de- livered a ringing blow across Broke's skull with a musket rbutt. As the captain fell stunned, the third man stepped in for the kill. But, happily, one of the Shannon's seamen had arrived and ran the American through just in time to save his captain. Two officers helped him to the quarterdeck, where his wounds were attended to, At this point, one of -his men called him to watch the ensign being run up over the American colors. But the halyards were twisted and the American colors ran up over the British. The Shannon's crew, fearing that their boarders had been beaten, immedi- eider opened fire. They killed' their own First Lieutenant and four of their shipmates. , The tragic mistake was quickly corrected and the British ensign rose triumphantly in the vanquish- ed Chesapeake. The dight was over, the Americans bad surrendered.
