merican and British fleets were represented in
hostile action. The finale of the naval struggle

surrender of the enemy; but unfortunately those
who had the working of the miniature vessels
were partially intoxicated and acct lently sunk
the whole American feet, while the Epg'iSh ships

disgust and disappointment of the patriatic Phit-
adslphia audience, who manifested their diSplCa-
sure in groans and Kisses.

strutted across the stage in great confusion and
whispered to the promptor, "lNhat ID the dabe
Of eobbud seds is the batter" The Promptor
