CAPT. COGGESHAL'S YARN.
Yankee sioop and British sloop on the
Fourth of July, 1913.

"Ever know Capt. Coggeshal ?" said
the old sailor to the young man who sat
beside him on the stringpiece of a
South street pier.
ono"
"No? / thought not, seein' he was a
skipper of privateer in the war of
1912. The captain was great man to
spin warns to friends of his'n, mostly
about the way the British got licked.
Sarcastic old man, he vas. You should
heerd him. You could always tell
when he had yarn to spin. He would
begin by sayin':
"Brtania needs no bulwark,
No towers along the steep;
Her march is DER the mount'in wave.
Her home is on the deep"
s'When he'd recite that ERE poetry
YOU might know suthin' be to come.
Many time he's told me about a leetlc
scrap between a Yankee sloop and q
British sloop, what they call a cutter
these days, what happened jest beyant
Sandy Hook, where them yachts what's
going to race gets their departure. 1t
was just seventy-three years ago come
the Fourth of July. The Poietiers line
o'-battle ship was blockadlng the
port, lynn off an on with a single
sticker called the Eagle, for tender to
her. Bein' it was the Fourth, every
body in New York was celebratin'
and gittin' of his courage up, and
Commodore Lewis, what was in charge
of the mosquito boats inside, deter
mined to capture the cutter. So he
came up to Whitehall and engaged a
little fishing smack and slowed her
choc full of the chaps what had been
celebratin' and muskets. For a deck
load he had calf. goose and sheep,
with three sailor men % work her and
no cen o. fshin' tackle
''In course, when this ere smack
rounded the Hook an headed for the
banks next morning, the cutter wasn't
long in rangin' up alongside, leavin' the
Poietiers off Long Branch apintin' for
Barnegat, under easy sail. TO oncet the
Britishers see that ERE veal and other
fresh whites, and orders the sloop down
to the line o. battle ship. The skipper
he pretended to be mad enough at that
to eat the whole British nation, until
he drifted clus enough to the cutter,
and then he gave yell what brought
the celebratOrs out the hold, which
they give the cutter marines broad
side from their muskets and drove the
whole of 'em what they didn't kill into
the hold. So the Yankees boarded and
pinted the sloop and cutter for the bat
terry, where they arrived the same day,
tindln' folks still celebratin', and ready
to take fresh start. I've heerd the
captain say as that ere cutter had 80
FOUNDER cannonade loaded with grape
and canister, but the ducks aboard were
that ere scared they forgot to fire it.
AS was sayin', Capt. Coggeshal was
sarcasticker nor any man l ever see.
When he'd tell me that ERE yarn, which
it be true, he shuts one eye and says:
''The winds and seas are Britain's wide do
main,
And not sail but by permission spreads"
