• It was a lo'veli evening in midsum
mer, in the year 1814, when a sloop of
war appeared off the chops of the En
glish channel, and stood in towards the
silent shores of : Cornwall. The gentle
breeze ; from the ocean, now sighed
through thb meetly fitted rigging of the
belligerent Stranger, and the fain; ripple
'At her bows, gave evidence -that she
;was slowly gliding ahead. The waves
- seemed to creep in long unbr9ken
swells before her, and the lingering
glow at sunset; as it glanced front'sum=
mit to dark green sininit, seemed like
.the smile of dying ay upon the rolling
prairies of the Illinbis.-
Her light sails from sky to watersail,
spelled beautifully to the rising shores
of merry England, and the !starry eit
' sign of the free streamed gallantly over
her quarter-deck. Her ports were
shut in—a silence equal to that of a
fontaken bark reigned throughout her
halls of thunder, while a solitary battle
lantern gleamed at the cabin -door.--
The tread of the orderly on duty, alone
gave evidence that the gallant vessel
was not a spectre-ship—t , some galleon
freighted with the dead," Hour, after
hour lazily-rolled - away. ' The land
now began to grow more distinct, while
the haze of morning settled deeper up
on the shadovied water. .At 4A. M.,
a bright flastrappeared where the shade
of the land and the moon-lit billow min
gled together, and then one after anoth
er the gleaming sails of. a ship - of war
•
hove in sight.
" Beat to quarters !" thuudered the
commander, of the American vessel, and
quick as thought the silence of the
quiet ship was brOken by the shrill
notes of the fife—the tipping of the
drum—the tread. of armed men'—the
tricing up of ports-;--the rattling (if can
non-,shot in the racks, and the running
out;of heavy pieces.of ordinance:
The chase now showed English
colors, turned swiftly 'upon his heels,
and ran up the private signal of the
channel fleet.
Show them the stars !" the immor
tal Blakely: " Forecastle, there 1"
.hiye, aye !" replied the master's
mate.
" Are you - all ready 'with the bow
guu ?" • . .
" All ready, sir.". . . .
" tuff, quartirtmaster.'!. 'A
" Wit is,", said the.ola salt at the
helm. .
.. • . . .
The sloop yawned gracefully at the
command of the trumpet, and displayed
her ensign, which had, been hidden by
the mountain of .canvass towered be
fore-it. ' A he avy roar-followed a vol
ume of fire and wooly smoke from the
American vessel's bows, and..then a
sharp crackling sound from the chase—
as though a heavy body had fallen from
a great height upon a thin lattice of
laths,jand had passed through it, ac
companied by' a cry of agony that
echoed fearfUlly over the still .wate
told but , too plainly - thaethe work of
bloody death had commenced.
"They have felt. the sting of the
Wasp," cried the Americas) captain, as
he scanned the chase through his night
glass: 6 , Steady your helm, quarter•
master; this'is but the opening of the
hall."
• " Steady, so," answered the atten
gunner at the wheel. And the gallant
sloop was as . silent as before.
"And still, the sails made on
A pleasant noise 'till noon,
• A noise like of a hidden hook
In the leafy month of June. . • •
- • That to the sleeping wood's all night
Singeth a quiet tuner"
At - fifteen minutes past one; P. M.,
the Wasp tacked—Lthe stranger , also
tacked to preserve the weather, gage.—
At three P: M.: the enemy born down
on the Wasp's weather quarter; answer

the deck trumpet.
' The order had hardly died awak:l;,
before the heav,y sail hung in festoons
upon the main yard. The fire of the
Wasp now became dreadful—every
Shot told ; and feeling that any risk was
safer than the one he was then running,
the captain of the British cruiser, at for
ty minutes past three, ran the . Wasp
aboard ou the starboard quarter, his lar
board bow coming foul. The English
coininanderVow uttered thent'agic
Boaiders, away !" and Piec

deavored to carry the deck of his anta
gonist. Three times in succession the
attempt wa% Made, and three times the
American drove the assailants baCk
with great slaughter. At tlie third

fell from the Wasp's mizzen rigging,
while in the.act offlourishingbis sword

he was dead ere he touched the
At forty-four minutes past three, captain
Blakely gave the order to board intern.
The American seaman now starteden
masae—bounded over the hammock
nettings at the enemy like a living tor;
rent; and in one minute, amid the
clashing of cutlasses, the sharp reports
of boarding pistols, the groans of the
dying and the yells,
_of the wounded,
were masters of the toe. As the sword
of the dying- Manners was laid upon
'the capstan, the nakpf thg Britain drops
suddenly upen the bloody deck of the
Reindeer; and ere the speetator could
mark the movement, the banner of
freedom floated triumphantly in its '
place. •
The Reindeer was an 18 gun sloop
of war, and had a cempliment of .118
souls. She had 25 killed and 42 wound
ed; while the Wasp had 5 killed and 22
wounded.
After burning his shattered prize, the
victorious Blakely shaped his course
for L'Orient, where he arrived on, the
Bth of July, with
_his ensign waving
above the uttered flag of England, and
his vessel crowded with prisoncis of
war. -
On the 27th of inguit, having under
gone a thorough repair,The Wasp drop
ped down to the outer, anchorage, and
departed from the shores of France.—
Having made a. few prizes, she stood
further out to sea, and' on the morning
`of the first of September, found herself
in the midst of a fleet of merchantmen,
Ander convoy of the Armada, -seventy
four. ~ - ' '
With his accustomed ' , skill and gal=
lantry, captain Blakely now beat to
quarters, and dashed in amid the Un
suspecting fleet. A vessel loaded with .
guns dud military 'stores was soon Cap,
tured, and while the boarding officer
was busily, engaged with another,.:the
seventy-four came down upon the Wind
and stopped the havoc, with her heavy
thunder. • -
Evening now crept in,longand dusky
shadows along the silent waters, and
the look-out man ROM from his airy
,height watched" with eager ,pyee . the
horizon around: The cry of.. Sail 0!
now roused the °Meet's from their, even
ing meal. Buiy feet'echoed along the
cleared decits . ,, and the shotracks re
ceived a further supply of iron messen
gers of death, while the Active powder
boy stood "with' i'spare eatridge inhis
leathern peasing - box beside his gun.--.
'Four stilt now hove in sight, but. the
nearest one seeming most like .a man.
of-war, the - Wasp ran down to - speak
her.
At seven P. M., the chase began to
signalize the stranger. Flags,lanterni,
rockets and guns, waved, shone, roared
and blazed in quick succession--•but the
Wasp made no return. ,
At twenty minutes passed - nine, the
chase was on her lee bow within hail.-
A heavreighteen,now hurled its death
Aaling shot into the, enemy's briOal
port, and swept his deck fork and aft.
This shot was proniptlY returned by the
chase,; when Blakely rah .under under his
lee. fearful lest be might escape, the

reached. the desired position, the gallant
little ,Wasp poured,. in a broadside
which rattled . the .enerny's spars and
rigging, about ,bis ears, and convinced
hint of the true charicterof the stranger.
It was now .nine o'clock at night.—

For one hour this terrible 'conflict

guarter, hailed them in a voice louder
than the roaring ocean—" Have you

The cutter was therefore ran np to the

The Wasp.was now in readinees - to
receive the' second antagonist; but two
more sails heaving in sight astern', the
conqueror was forced to leave his shat
tered-prize.-The helm of the Wasp
was therefore put up, and the ship ran
off free, in order to repair her rigging
and to draw the' nearest vessel of the
enemy away from his consorts.
.The second stranger :continued ja

near, when he shot across, her, kern.
gave her , a parting broadside, and beat

their children in the fear of God and in
obedience to government.';Children are
