ANECDoTE eF Com. DECATUR. The follow
ing good anccdotc of the gallant Decatur, is
related in the September number of the United
States Nautical Magazine:
"Bolorc the war, Captain Garden and the
Macedonian were at Norfolk; Decatur was
there, 700, and warm intimacy soon joined in
friendship two kindred hearts. While discus
sing naval affairs one day, Garden said, 'Deca-
tur your ships arc good enough, and you are
clever set Of fellows; but what practice have
you had IN war: there's the rub, One of these
days we will probably have brush together,
and if | catch your ship at sea, | will knock
her into a cooked hat, Stcphen.' win you,
says Decatur; Il lciN bet you hat on it. The
bet was agreed on, and the conversation
changed.
''BIt Il few mcnths elapsed ere the war that
had been threatening commenced, and the tive
captains, by soIae singular coincidence, met-
The results Of the action are known. Capt
Garden, on going on board OF the y. States
was received by lieutenant at the gangway,
to whom he rendered his sword. Not to me,
sir, said the officer, but to the Captain and
where is the Captain?'' said the embarrassed
Euglishman 'He is standing aft there; that is
the gentleman, sir, in u tarpaulia hat and round
Jacket
Garden went aft, and his feelings on meet
ing, under such circumstances, his old friend,
may be imagined. As he offered his sword to
Decatur, that officer said, NO, Garden, never
take the sword ola brave man; you have fought
ga!lantly.' Bot said he, laying his hand on
the others shoulder, 4 will tcke that hat, my
dear fellow
ain transferring to the United States the
suite of Capt. Garden, a fine band was includ-
ed. In the afternoon, when dinner was an
nounced in the cabin, Capt. Garden said to
Decatar, those musicians are very skiltul, and
| have always had them on deck while at my
dinner Very WE'LL, said Decatur, I'VE will
have them up. The band was ordered ondeck
to play, and Com, Decatur was asked what air
he would like to hear Let them play Britain
MIA rules the Waves, said he, with a sly
laugh"
