the Boston AdUetiser as follows:
"rhe story Of the man who lost
watch and chain while shooting, and
who found them after seven years had
passed, is nothing to what happened
to me. About seventeen years ago !
too was shooting, and lost a gold
watch ana chain in a similar manner.
They were snGtched from my pocket
by young sprig of sapling, now
grown into a lofty willow, Upon my
return to the spo, last Summer my at
tention was arrested by a glitter among
the branches over my head | looked
i looked again. Yes, there was my
watch. The chain was embedded un
der the bark of the friendly branch,
and, strange to say, further out on the
branch was growing watch exlctly
similar to my old one, except in size.
1t was a trife smaller, the season then
being early for watches. The chain,
too, was a small counterpart of my
old chain. My first impulse was to
pick them eff the tree, but l atterward
decided to wait until the second watch
had fully ripened, and in due season |
culled them both, and they may be
seen at my office at twelve o'clock any
day for two weeks. A patent has

touched long-silent chord of mem

look, said:

Thirty five athletic men were soon
gathered at the wharf, and a design Of
capturing the "Margarelta" was made
known to them Arming themselves
as well as they were able at so brief a
notice they set sail in pursuit Of the
British vessel, which was lying at an
chor few miles below.
As yet they had no commander
but an election was held on the way,
by which Jeremiah O'Brien, the eld-
est Of six noble brothers on board, was
unanimously chosen Captain. He i'm.
medialely gave permission for all who
did not wish to venture in the attack
to leave the vessel, and three men
accordingly went ashore in the boat.
When the "MIargaretta' observed
the approach Of the sloop she weighed
anchor and crowded on all sail to
avoid a conflict. In changing her jib
she carried away the boom but, con-
tinuing her flight, she ran into Holmes
Bay and took a spar from a vessel ly
ing there.
While repairs were making the
sloop hove in sight and the 'Mar-
garelta" stood out to sea, in hope still
Of avoiding her. So anxious vas
Capt. Moore to avoid collision that
he cut away his boats to increase the
speed of his vessel but this, too, was
Intellectual. Finding the sloop fast
closing upon him, he at length opened
fire upon her
The "Margaretta' had an armament
of four light deck-gun and fourteen
swivels, while the sloop had only a
single cannon, rudely mounted, with
which to return the fire. The first
discharge killed the "AIargaretta's" i"
helmsman and cleared the quatter-
deck. The schooner broached sud
denly to windward, throwing the sails
back and bringing her deck into full
view of her pursuers. Those of the
patriots who had fire arms instantly
discharged them.
In very few moments the vessels
came together Then ensued con
test with musketry, Capt Moore him
self throwing hand -grenades into the
sloop with considerable effect An
attempt was made by the patriots to
board the schooner, but only one man
John O'Brien, brother Of the com.
mander reached her deck. Seven of
the British crew discharged their guns
at him almost at the same moment, but
not n ball struck him. Then they
charged upon him with bayonets, but
he escaped these by Jumping over
board. The vessels had fallen some
thirty yards apart, but he swan to the
sloop and was taken on board, with
out having received any worse harm
than wettiug.
The American vessel was again
brought alongside the enemy, and
twenty men, armed chiefly with pitch
forks, sprang on board the schooner.
Capt. Moore had already fallen,
pierced by two balls and the conflict
was so fierce that the officer lett in
command fled panic.stricken to the
cabin.
The the schooner and her stores fell
nearly uninjured into the hands Of
these brave freemen of Machlas. The
loss of the Americans was four killed
and eight or nine wounded that of
the British was more than twice as
many.
The "Nlargaretta" was the first Brit
ish armed vessel captured by the
Americans in the War of Indepen-
dence. This enterprise was entirely a
private one, the Continental Congress
not having authorized any nautical
