A week later Eaton's forces We're

the African coast. In the harbo- fioated

the flagship word was sent to the gov

was the Characteristic response of The
pirate chieftain.
Next morning the assault began.
Eaton landed a field piece with a party
of marines to assist the land party. The
men-ofwar stood in close and pre-
pared TO fire. On land Lieutenant
o Bannon led the Christian wing Of
the attacking troops. Eaton and Sidi
Hamlet headed the Arab contingent.
The firing from the fleet was IL first
holly returned, but after a few hours
the return shots commenced 10 slacken.
Then Eaton and O'Bannon led their
forces over the walls. The resistance
was furious but futile. Through the
marrow streets the enemy was forced
back, fighting stubbornly. AT last,
seconded by the feet guns, Eaton was
victorious, and the Nautilus, Argus and
Hornet fired a royal salute as the IS
starred standard of the United States
was run up to the governors Flagstaff,
to float there, for the first and only
in token of victory over an old-world
fortress.
CHEATED OF HIS TRIUMPH.
The governors courage oozed away in
spite of his former defiance. and he hid
himself in the principal mosque, to es-
cape under cover of night Thousands
of Moors fiocked TO Sidi Hamlet's
standard, and there is little doubt but
that Eaton could have taken Tripoli
with his now large forces.
But in the meantime the Bashaw Jo
seph. seeing how things were going,
had wisely made overtures of peace to
the United States agent, Tobias Lear,
and just as Eaton was holding a pa
rade prior to resuming his march, a
cutter arrived in the harbor with news
of an armistice. Shortly afterward
peace was declared-to General Ea
TONS intense disgust. The bashaw
agreed to liberate all American pris-
oners on receipt of 100000. minus the
500, 900 spent on Eaton's expedition.
Eaton boldly accused Colonel Lear
(once the secretary of George Wash
ington) Of treachery TO United States
interests but was eventually persuad-
ed TO disarm his troops and return to
astically received. The state OF Mas
sachusetts granted him 10000 acres of
land, and he received many presnts
from crowned heads for the release of
their captive subjects from slavery in
Barbary. His subsequent life was
honorable. and he filled some imDo--
tant public offices.
Eaton's march into Barbary extended
as it did over nearly 500 miles of des-
ert, and INSTRUCTED as it was oy count
less difficulties Gack of food. want of
money, Inutinies among the Arabs and
Greeks among the chief, must always
remain Q glowing tribute to the daunt-
less yalor and uncompronpising Will of
this Connecticut soldier, his Irish
American lieutenant and their Yankee
followers. BY a curious coincidence
Eaton died ON the last day of May
the anniversary Of the breaking out of
wsr between Tripon and the United
States.

vented by the timely arrival of couriers
from the Tripol frontier with welcome
news OF revolt against the bashaw-
MEETING TIE PIRATES.
At last Bomba har5cr was reached
after terrible privaticns. Eaton $
friends voluntarily denied themselves
in order that the Arabs might have no
cause for further Complaint. Most Of
the time the only rations issued were
bread and water-the latter drawn
from the polluted cisterns. The last
day of the long inarcL, roots, wild feIl-
mel and sorrel formed the only Obtain
able food. But spirits were Kept up
by the hope that at Bomba they would
ind the American feet riding at an
chor. What was Eaton's horror and
his followers rage, when not single
sail could be discerned on the hori-
Zon.
There was another Arab attack which
lasted until nightfall. Under cover OF
the darkness The Christians retreated
to mountain in the rear, upon which,
by Eaton's orders, they lit huge bon
fires. Shortly after dawn, next day,
some OF the men who had gone ante
lope hunting, deserted a sail in the
offing. It was the United States steam
ship Argus. Captain Hull. the officer
in command, had seen the bonfires and
stood in.
After that things improved. For the
third time the Arabs were reconcilei
with Eaton. and the army enjoyed n
full meal-their first in days consist
ing chiefly OF that notable New En-
gland diet, pork and beans, washed
down with draughts of Hollands and
