THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1871.
rUT-lN-DAY.
At break of day on September morning,
nearly- sixty years ago, the brig Lawrence,
flagship of Captain Terry's Lake Erie Bquad
ron, Van riding quietly at anchor in a harbor
formed by a group 6T small islands near the
western extremity of the lake. ' As the heavy
shadows whioh had rested all night long upon
the waters of the bay grew less and less
dense, and the forms of the surrounding
islands began to .make their appearance
through the morning mists, the usual signs
of renewed life became apparent on beard
the fleet.
The shrill whistle of the boatswain could
be heard summoning the crews to their morn
ing duties, the watches upon deck were re
lieved and allowed to go below, and the ham
of voices showed that the sleepers had all
been awakened and the business of the day
begun. i
Suddenly the sailor upon the look-out at
the mast head of the Lawrence bent forward
and bailed the deck. From the elevated
position where he stood carefully scanning
the horizon a sight startling but not unex
pected bad met his view. Beyond the inter
vening islands, and concealed by their wooded
shoreB from the decks, the lifting shadows
now revealed six large vessels Blowly moving
down from the northwest. This was the
British fleet, which, under command of Cap
tain Barclay, one of Nelson's bravest veterans,
bad left the Canada shore upon the previous
evening with the intention of settling the
disputed question of naval supremacy upon
the waters of Lake Erie before the sinking of
another sun.
The intelligence of its approach was
quickly communicated to Perry by the offioer
of the deck. The promptness with which
orders were given for the squadron to get
under way, and the activity displayed in their
execution, showed that the young commander
was not unprepared for the emergency.
Anchors were weighed, sails spread, and the
email boats lowered . and manned with
oarsmen prepared to assist the
light breeze, which it was feared might not
prove strong enough to impel the vessels
into the open waters of the lake. As they
slowly beat out from the harboi towards the
spot where the British fleet lies awaiting them,
the broad blue battle-flag of the commander,
inscribed with the dying words of the la
mented Lawrence, is run up to the peak
of, the flag-ship amidst the enthusiastic
shouts of the men. These are answered
by responsive cheers from the crews of
the other vessels, as the ensign floats out
upon the breeze, and the inscription is
revealed to them by the clear light of the
mnmina sun. Before ni outfall the thunder
of the guns had died away, and the hard-
earned victory was won. A great naval battle
bad been fought, and, along with the entire
British fleet, the control of the lakes had
passed permanently into the hands of the
Americans.
The harbor from . . which Perry set
sail at daybreak to meet the
foe, and to ' which he returned
after the battle to bury the dead and repair
the shattered ships of both squadrons, is
formed by a group of about twenty small
islands situated near the western extremity of
Lake Erie, and has ever since been known by
the name of Put-in-Bay. Tradition states
that its existence and its superior facilities as
an anchorage for the fleet were first pointed
out" -to- Perry by a Canadian half
breed, who had volunteered for the
cruise in Sandusky. Its advantages for
such a purpose in time of war are certainly
conspicuous. Lying well out from the shore,
though available for vessels drawing twelve
feet of water, Put-in-Bay, nnlike the other
harbors of the lake, has no bar to obstruct
its entrance, and is free from dangerous
rocks. Its position, to, is an important re
commendation. Looking toward the Canada
shore, it adjoins the passage to the upper
lakes, while at the same time affording a
favorable point for the defense of the neigh
boring coast of Ohio, and the mouths of
the many streams which here empty into
Lake Erie.
The group of islands encircling the waters
of Put-in-Bay has become at the present day
a favorite place of summer resort. The op
portunities afforded here for boating and
fishing are unsurpassed, while the visitor,
quite out of sight and hearing of the roar and
bustle of the busy word, insensibly forgets
its careB. and enjoys the delioious sense of
repose which belongs peculiarly to the place.
There is little in the appearance of the
islands to suggest the thought of war, or to
recall the fierce conflict wnicn once cook
place in sight of their shores. The echoes of
the great guns have died away, and the
smoke of battle no longer hangs over the
water. No more warlike spectacle is seen
there than an occasional revenue-cutter at
anchor in the tranquil bosom of the bay. In
dace of the blood of heroes, with whioh the
waters of the lake were crimsoned, is only the
red juice of the grape, whioh every autumn is
produced abundantly npon the numerous
islets. Whether owing to the mild climate, or
! to some peculiarity in the nature or tne sou,
here seems to be the chosen home of the
vine. Tne cat aw Da, driven dy disease irom
the neighborhood of Cincinnati, thrives luxu
riantly, and never fails to reward tne culti
vator with its ripened clusters. Not all of
the islands, however, are under cultivation.
Some of them are steep masses of limestone
rock rising abruptly from the water, and worn
bv the action of the weather into fantastic
forms. Others are still covered with a growth
of forest trees.
The summer idler at Put-in-Bay will often
take a boat in the early morning, and repair
ing to one of these little islets, remain during
the heats of the day reading, writing, or re
clining under the trees, and looking off over
the broad surface of the lake, la suon a
Beclusion he has leisure to listen to the many.
keyed voices of nature, which at other times
fall unheeded upon the ear. The hum of the
bee's wine, the distant song of a bird from
some inner recess of the woods, and the rust
ling of the leaves in the summer breeze, are
the only sounds to ce oeara, and tnese ramer
heighten than diminish the feeling of
solitude. The cares of life seem as far away
as the white wings of the distant ships,
which, with hulls invisible, slowly glide along
the horizon, and earth's honors and prize3 as
transitory as yonder gleam in the sunshine
where some fish has leapea irom me water.
As we turn onr gaze toward the neighboring
shores the mind insensibly reverts to the
scenes of the past. Many of the islands in
view still bear the names given to them by
Perry. Pebble Island is so called from the
nn.onth white pebbles of which its beach is
Anm nosed. The one upon whioh the officers
of both squadrons who were killed in the ac
tion are interred Is called Willow Island, from
a sapling planted at the time over their rest
This has increased in size with
the lapse of years, and is now a stately tree,
with a trunk several feet in diameter.
T'non it is an inscription giving the names
of the Bix offioers, three Americans
and three British, who are buried under its
dnw. As we lie in our shady nook, and
ook acrofcB the intervening water, we seem to
ee the mournful funeral pageant rehearsed.
The day is calm, and the peaceful surface of
the lake unruffled by a single breath of air.
At anchor in the bay, side by side, ride the
vessels so lately engaged in conflict. Yawning
holes in their hulls and shattered spars indioate
the deadly nature of the ordeal through
which they have passed. No sound disturbs
the stillness of the scene, till suddenly a puff
of smoke shoots from the single remaining
gun of the Lawrence, folUwed by a loud
report, which echoes from island to island,
and finally dies away in the distance. This is
succeeded after a brief pause by a similar
report from tbe captured Queen Charlotte.
These are no longer indications of hostility,
but are minute-guns fired over the remains of
tbe brave. Presently boat after boat puts
cut from the fleet, and mdves slowly towards
the chore, the measured cadence of their oars
keeping time to the mournful musio of the
drum and fife. Tbe foremost boats contain the
bodies of the deceased officers, wrapped in
tbe flags of their respective nations.
Arrived at the beach, the funeral proces
sion forms. The lifeless remains are tenderly
lilted from the boats, and borne upon the
shoulders of the seamen to their resting-place
a pleasant spot near the
margin of the lake. Behind them follow
their late companions English and Ameri
cans alternating, in the reverse order of rank,
Perry himself bringing np the rear. Side by
side the late antagonists are laid in their
graves, the same burial service is read over
them, and volleys of musketry conolude the
ceremony. The living disperse to their ac
customed pursuits; the dead are left to their
long slumber, no whit the less peaoeful from
the proximity of those who had so lately been
their mortal foes.
Gibraltar Island, another member of this
group, named from the steep and rugged
nature of its sides, was often used by Perry
an a look-out station. It is now the property
of the well-known banker, Jay Cooke, who
has crowned its summit with a spacious
country house. Upon one of its headlands
the corner-stone of a handsome monument
was laid in 1858 with impressive ceremonies.
Though tbe original design was not carried
out, a smaller monument, surmounted by
a bronze vase, has been erected by the libe
rality of the present owner. In order to ren
der this island available for cultivation, and to
add to its natural beauty, ship-loads of earth
were brought from more favored localities
and transported up its steep sides. Probably,
if economy alone had been consulted, this
species of horticulture would not have been
found to pay very handsome dividends, in
which respect it might, perhaps, bear a
faint resemblance to the model farms
of some of our city editors and clergy
men. However, the care bestowed upon
it CBS rendered. tne island a very delight
ful spot, which is probably all that the owner
expected. He is accustomed to resort
hither at such times as his extensive busi
ness will permit, and here he often entertains
his friends. In his absence the house is never
closed, but remains open for the reception of
visitors, of whom there is always an abun
dance. These are not mere sight-seers, like
those who visit the seats of tbe English
nobility in tne absence ot tneir owners, and
for the sake of a handsome fee, which, if re
port speaks truly, is sometimes divided be
tween the master of the house and his ser
vants, are shown throned the ere at halls
where tbe ancestral portraits are hung, the
chambers which have been oooupied by royalty,
and the chapel where repose the long line of
titled forefathers.
The guests of our American gentleman are
chiefly clergymen members of a denomina
tion more remarkable, as a rule, for faithful
labor in the Master's service than for the
large salaries paid to its ministers. Many of
these gentlemen have never had such a
thing as a vacation a period of rest to be
devoted to nothing but enjoyment, in which
the powers both of body and mind may re
cuperate. They cannot afford to take suoh
an indulgence themselves, nor do their peo
ple understand the necessity of giving it.
Many a tired worker has been suddenly
surprised at receiving a Kind invitation to
spend a few days at Put-in-Bay from one who
has previously been an entire stranger. A
check Buincient to defray tne expenses of his
journey often accompanies the invitation.
Thus it happens that a goodly number of
country clergymen can almost always be found
at his hospitable residence. Within the house
is a library, numbering among Its contents
some rare books, which have probably been
inaccessible to many ot tnem.
It would be difficult to decide which they
enjoy most dipping into the contents of

Anecdote of George IV.
His late Majesty George IV is the hero of
the following anecdote: reel went to Brigh
ton to inform the King of the death of the
Premier, Lord Liverpool, and had some dim.
culty in checking the grief of the father of his
people, whose anxiety for tne welfare of tne
blate was intense and teariui. ue succeeaea,
however, in dispelling his fears for a time,
and left him tranquil. '
In the course of the night, however, a ser
vant went to tbe door of the Home Secretary,
to beg that he would go down to the King at
once, witnout waiting to dress nimseu, as nis
Majtsty was again taken seriously ill. Peel
promptly obeyed the summons, in his dress-
ing gown and slippers, and found the King
unquestionably worse than he had ever Been
mm before, ana narping upon me aimcuiues
with which he was threatened, out of wnicn,
he declared, there was no possibility
of escape. He proposed that Peel should
write. without a moments delay,
to the Duke or Wellington, and
summon him to the Pavilion. Peel assured
the King that there was no neoeesity for such
extraordinary hurry, and prevailed npon him
to wait till the next day, wnen ne would be
more calm, and better able to determine on
the most desirable course to adopt under the
emereency.; The King consented to this
adjournment, and made protestations of un-
rlinchiner confidence in the Duke of Welling.
ton and Peel, confessing that, with two suoh
ministers by his side, it would be culpable in
Lim to despair. He embraoed
Peel warmly and wept npon his
shoulder; when suddenly, in the midst of his
excitement and his protestations of attach
ment and confidence, he broke on, exclaim
ing, "Peel, who made your dressing-gown?"
Peel confessed tua ignorance, ana me rung
his astonishment at it. "Open that ward
robe," he said, "and I will show yon what a
dressing-gown ought to be. Peel obeyed,
and drew forth an ample robe de ehambre,
cuiijpobed of rich material, and elabo
rately ornamented, which the King de
sired him at once to put on. ne
then requested him to turn himself round
before a cheval looking-glass, which was in
the room, and judge for himself how mucin,
better it became him than the dressing-gown
he had been wearing a ready-made artiole,
but with which be had for some time been
thoroughly contented. My informant does
not feel sure whether tbe King presented the
dressing-gown to his visitor or not, but he
told me that he knew he made him wear it for
some time, while he sat by the King's side
listening to a string of anecdotes conneoted
with tailoring, which the sight of the
dressing-gown had conjured up. Gradu
ally the King, warming with his con
genial theme, talked himself into good
spirits, said he was sure Peel must be tired,
and recommended him, nothing loth, to go
back to his chamber. The King took an
affectionate leave of him, but allowed him to
return the following morning, without ex
pressing any desire for another interview.
1 he very next news that reached him from
tbe Pavilion was that Canning, who was ill at
Brighton at the time, had been conveyed to
the Pavilion in a sedan-chair, and had had
the interview with George IV, whioh led to
his appointment as Prime Minister in Lord
Liverpool s place, and to the secession of
the Duke of 'Wellington, Mr. Peel, and their
friends, from the Government. Memoir of
