shine no how. We fixed them off when we
came to an anchor. The way was this. II is
customary when vessel Of war of one raiion
arrives at place, for the last one that answers
to salute the.commander. Well, as our vessel
is the flag ship, that is carries the Commodore,
we are entitled TO 10 guns, and their Commo-
dores only entitled TO 9 guns. but as COm-
m0dore in our navy is the highest post that
can be reached, utcourse he commands as much
respect as an admir- in the English navy.
But "Old Johny Bull " did not argue that way
as he only gave us 9 guns for salute. " Hal
loo." says Capt. Darcanel, " that won't do
for me, we must have more; so he goes into
the Commodore and asks him what We shall
do, why, says he, give them back again, and
away bangs the guns. In few minutes an
officer from her Drittanic Majesty's Figate
CLEOPATRA came on board, saying that Admiral

Commodore Benjamin Cooper is on hoard this

boat, asking what was the ason we did not
fire the whole 10 altogether. Old Benny told
him to tell his Admiral that he fred gun for
gun and no more. and if that did not do, he
might 60 to the devil. or go outside of tho bar,
that would satisfy him. So you see how amin
