print Ogden Hoffman used to tell he
story He was in the great fight between
the Constitution and the Guerriere and
said that as the British ship came sailing
down on them, as they heard the sharp
orders, when the guns were run out and
the men could be seen ready with their
match-locks, an officer came IN haste to
Captain Isaac Hull, and asked for orders
TO ire. Not vet was the quiet response
As they came still nearer, and the British
vessel poured in her fire, the First Lieut.
OF the Constitution came on the poop and
begged permission TO return the broadside
saying that the men could not be restrained
much longer Not vet, was the inditier-
ent reply. Still nearer the British ship
came, and the American prisoners. who
were IN the cock pit of the Gaerriere af
terwards said that they began TO believe
that their own countrvmen were afraid 10
measure their strength with that of the
enemy, and this thought gave them more
pain than the wounds from which some of
them were still suffering
In a moment after the Guerrero rode
gallantly forward showing her FURNISHED
sides and as the swell carried her close
to the very muzzle of ''Old Ironsides."
capt Hull, who was then quite fat and
dressed IN full tights, bent himself twice
to tue deck, and with every muscle and
VEN throbbing with excitement. shouted
out as he made another gyration, Now,
boys, pour it into them" That broadside
settled their opponent, and when the
smoke cleared away the Commodore
tights were to be seen split from waist
band to heel Truly the Commodore had
a soul too big for his breeches" Holf-
man used to add that Hull, nothing dis
concerted, gave his orders with perfect
GOODNESS, and only changed his tights
when the British commanders sword was
given up to him.
