OF 10 guns and proceeded to Europe. On Feb g l778
at Brest, he received from Admiral Count DOrviers
the first salute ever paid 10 the American flag by
foreign man-ofwar. In the following April he sailed
against Whitebaven, scaled the walls Of the fort and
spiked the cannon-3S in number While on the
Eogiish coast the Drake, Of 20 guns, was sent out
against him, and although Of superiorforce he prompt

Of people assembled on the shore TO him taken,
the Captain Of the Drake assured them before he went
out would be the case.
Thus we see what an enterprising young officer with
very small means, accomplished at tue beginning Of
career which Washington pronounced at it's close as
haring attracted the admiration Of He porid."
With his own hands Jones bosted the Star Spangled
Banner on board Of the Alfred in the Delaware, the
first time ever foated to the breezeat the masthead
OF ship under his command it received its first salute
from foreign power. Fighting under its folds, he
was the first TO cause the meteor flag of England to
strike before it, and the very coasts Of Britain in
defiance OF Ito PROV o. navy in the world, he caused
the asonished enem If America to quail beneath his
prowess
We hope that the spirit which actuated Jones, Deea-
tur, Preble, and others n former wars, will Soou be
aroused and made manifest in officers Of the present
day-and that, while the cheering constellation of
our glorious flag will ever be presented to its
friends, the stripes shal be severely inflicted on its
