sB-Doubtless Commander Preble, recently
dismissed the service Tor allowing an armed
vessel flying the English flag to pass him and
go into Mobile, was fearful OF getting into
another Trent trap. Referring to him, the
Boston Joarnal says:
"As an evidence of his loyalty and patriot
ism we may mention that when the war broke
out he was on the Pacific station, and one of
his first acts was to send home for publication
history OF the Flag of the United States,
which he had written, with request that the
proceeds of the sale should be devoted to the
Massachusetts Soldiers Fund. His letters
were full of loyalty and patriotism, and he
chaled at being condemned to service on
station where he could not meet the foes of
the government.
