Yankee ingenuity in sea fights was
never shown to better advantage than

Pennsylvania state cruiser IIyder
Ally and the British twenty-gun shin

Cape May Roads IL years ago. In

gagged in some of the most creditable
battles in our naval history. The
commerce of Pennsylvania had been
greatly harassed by British cruisers

ally making incursions up the bay,
capturing any craft that came within
their reach. With view of checking
these inroads. the state Of Pennsyl-
yania fitted out the strongly built
merchant ship Hyder Ally with six
teen six-pound guns, and placed her
in charge of Lieutenant Joshua
Barney of the United States navy, and
100 men.
On April 5, l7s?, the IIyder Ally
dropped down to Cape May Roads as a
convoy to a feet Of merchantmen that
had been endeavoring to get to sea.
While waiting for a breeze to carry
them clear of the land, two English
cruisers were deserted standing in
shore. Barney male signal for the
merchantmen to make sail up the bav
while he covered their retreat. The
English ships became widely sen
arated in the chase, and when one Of
them, the twenty-gun sloop-of-war,
General Monk, was passing. the
Hyder Ally fired broadside and the
Englishman put about to board Per.
ceiving the intention Of the British
commander, Lieutenant Barney in

This exposed the English ship to

gether, Lieutenant Barney for thirty
minutes poured in a destructive fire
upon the helpless General Monk See
ing the hopelessness Of bis condition.
the Englishman surrendered and was
taken into the navy under the name

prize mounted twenty nine FOUNDERS,
or nearly twice the shot weight Of the
