WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
BY STEPHEN BoNSAI.
Years ago 1t was the custom. as the wills
of a number Of good men testify, to leave
sums of money to ransom Christians held
in slavery by the Moors Of Barbary.
Teaching these Barhary corsairs respect
for our flag was the first triumph of Amer
lean arms and diplomacy in foreign field.
1t was in these piratical wars that the
Decaturs and our other naval heroes car
ried the knowledge of American sea power
not only to Europe. but to Africa.
The result was happy. We curbed the
power of the Tripoli Bashaw and taught
the Salee pirates who shudder through the
pages of Defoe a lesson.
They did not turn from their piratical
ways, but they learned to make a distinc-
ton between the Christian flags which was
very advantageous to American shipping.
1t was. however, the Introduction of
steam that finally put these bloodthirsty
corsairs. with their many banked galleys
and sail praus at such a disadvantage that
they finally went out of business as far as
the sea was concerned.

galleys are rottfng on the beach-the ships

shores of the Mediterranean.
