The Earliest Sea Fight.

Cooper, in bis naval history of the United
States, thus describes the earliest sea fhgt
mentioned in the annals of the country. The
simple man9ugFes in the engagement pres
enled I. singular contrast with the more com
plicated tactics of the naval warfare of the
present day. But we may here zee, even
in this rude battle between seamen and a
party of hDd savages, the superiority which
is conferred by professional skill in an en-
|terprise which requires practice to be snc>
|eessfully available:
Some time in May, 1886, Gallop. in his
little sloop, manned by two men and two
boys, himself included, was standing along
the sound near Plum Island, when he was
compelled by stress Of weather, TO seek
refuge to leeWard. among the islands that
form chain between Long Island and Cor
necticut. On nearing the land he discover
ed Vessel very similar in sizb and equipN
menls to his own, which was Immediately
trecognized as the pinnahce of Mr. Oldham.
wha had sailed viii crew of two white boys
and two Nanagansett Indians. Gaf1op hailed
/ on nearing the other craft, but got no answer
! and On runing still nearer, 40 less than four
teen Indians were seen lying on her deck
"a canoe, conveying goods, aud manned
hy Indians, had also just started for the shore.

had been oYerpowered by the savages; a
suspicion that was confirmed by the Indians
slipping their cables, and running of before

committed, Gallop made sail in chase, and
