few Americans have ever heard Of, and
its position in the big cemetery is as
inconspieuous as the humblest grave
in Potter field.
Surrounded by the elaborate mau-
soleums and granite monuments that
adorn the last earthly resting places
of private citizens, the grave of Capt
Samuel Chester Reid is situated in the
little plot at the intersection of Cy-
press avenue and Zephyr path. Capt.
Reds achievements during the war Of
ISL: are among the most noteworthy
in that memorable strife.
1t was as commander Of the good
old American privateer brig Gen. Arm
strong that Capt. Reid fought one OF
the greatest naval battles that history
recalls. The engagement took place
in Fayal Roads, Azores Islands. The
Armstrong had anchored in neutral
port when, on Sept 90, 1914, she was
attacked by British squadron con.
sisting of three vessels-the flagship
plantagenet of seventy-four guns; the
frigate Rota of forty-four guns, and
the brig Carnation of eighteen guns
The British numbered over 1000 men,
and this, with the total of 1856 guns,
seemed an overwhelming force against
the seven guns and ninety men of the
Armstrong
Notwithstanding the protest of the
governor of the port, who demanded
of the British commander, Capt Lloyd,
that he respect neutral territory, the
British opened hostilities by firing
broadSide from the Carnation on the
morning of the Goth. The plucky
American stood his ground firmly with
mis- handful of men, and after a series
Of encounters, lasting over two days, he
completely defeated the enemy Capt.
Lloyd Of the squadron, however was
determined to capture the American
privateer.
1t was because he realized that he
could not forever hold out against the
superior forces of the British that
Capt. Reid ordered all the dead and
wounded taken ashore on the second
day of the engagement He then en-
gagged the Carnation, and, after COM
polling her to haul off for repairs with
an injured hull and mast down, he
ordered the Gen. Armstrong to be
scuttled so as to prevent the enemy
from getting her off.
The defeat of the squadron at Fayal
saved New Orleans from falling into
the hands of the British, inasmuch as
the three disabled vessels were part of
Sir Admiral Cochrane's expedition sent
out to capture the Louisiana port
The Fayal incident delayed their de-
parture and Gen. Andrew Jackson's ar
rival in New Orleans before that of
the squadron saved the city.
Capt Reds return to the United
States was made an occasion of the
greatest enthusiasm Honors were
showered on the young hero from all
quarters Resolutions of thanks were
passed unanimously bv the legisla
ture OF New York, which body also
