Nor heed the storm that bowls along the sky
A number OF our ship carpenters who recently
turned OUT for higher wages, and few sail ma
kers, hired small soop for the purpose oil ceebra-
ting the 18th of July at the Capes OF Delaware. On
reaching the place, however, they were unable 10
realize their anticipated enjoyment and being full
of gin and independence, they after weighty deiibe-
ration, resolved upon cruzing In pursuit OF adven-
lures. Their stores were ample, and having APP.

ant hearts and spirits free as air."

the almost dropping spirits Of their commodore the
hope of accomplishing something worthy Of himself.

the gallant crew. and rent the troubled air, when

The order was promptly obeyed; up went the
sails each man his post and as the belligerenl
forces, lloated toward each other, there was
ga calm as still as deah;
And the bodest held his breath
For time"
But when within musket shot, the Commodore, with
degree Of promptness which distinguishes our
American commanders, ordered the schooner to

The boat was then sent aboard, not with papert
