" This venerable gentleman was one OF the
ablest marine officers who. shone in the strug-
gle for our independence. On many trying
occasions die evinced great skill and bravery,
and was entrusted by a discerning govern
ment with the command Of several national
vessels: the most important of which was the
sfrigate Alfred. Hisstalents as warrior were
adorned by the christian virtues to alleviate
the horrors of war, with him was equally
duty and a pleasure, and his vanquishsd enc
my often became his warmest friend.
+ g Having suffered almost total loss of his
property in the confagration of that city by
the British troops, the close OF the war, found
his means inadequate to the necessities OF
growing family, and re was compelled In the
wane OF, life to risque a constitution shattered
by the privations, anxieties and labors of war,
to. seek in an inhospitable climate the means
OF tightening the cares OF his declining years.
3 Having returned home in moderate cir
cunstances; the command Of the revenue
cutter was offered him by President Wash
ington, but it was not then convenient for him
to accept it; on the death of Capt. Matbie III

sirable to him, and to which by his talents and
services he was Justly entitled, .Tas gwen him.

humble station he performed with scrupulous
attention and fidelity. He continued in the,
