the song will be still moro interesting:

and eIoquen, lawyer, and an accomplish.
ed gentleman.
During the war with the British in
lol4, Mr.. F. Scott Key was residing 10
Baltimore, and hearing Of the detention
Of dear friend, he started TO obtain his
release. lie went as far as the mouth of
the Pa.apsco river, which enters the
Chesapeake Bay, and is abou. eighty FIVE
miles north Of the Potomac Here he was
arrested and carried on board a man Of.
war beloniug to the British fleet station
ed opposite Fort McHenry, tho bom-
bardment of which he wa, compelled to
witness. The English Admiral boasted
British like) before Mr.. Key, that he
would take the Fort 10 few hours, and
the city Of Baltimore in two days. The
bombardment lasted day and night
without success.
Mr.. Key stood on the deck watching,
through The smoke, the banner Of freedom
waving from the Fort.
AT length night came, aud be could
see it no more. Still he watched till dawn
brought it to view. With beating heart
he saw, waving in the morning breeze,
high and uninjurcd, the banner with its
stars and stripes.
1t was at this moment of joy and tri
umph, that Francis Scott Key composed
he Star Spapgled Banner. Mr.. Key was
'oon liberated, and the Boosting British
