PAUL JONES' FIRST COMMAND.

Returning home from the West In
dies after his voyage as SLAYER, the
yellow fever broke out ON the ship on
which he had taken passage. The
captain and mate died. the crew was
reduced TO few sick men, but John
Paul, defying the fever as he defied
every enemy, would never go below
except 10 aid the suffering, but spent
his days in the rigging. In the end he
took command of the ship and brought
her into port with crew of five men.
The owners of the brig allowed him
summary salvage and made him mas
ter of their finest full-rigged ship. AS
captain of this vessel he made three
full voyages from Whitehaven, her
home port, TO Virginia and the West
Indies. 1t was on one of these voyages
that, having a difficulty with a burly,
mutinous mulatto of the crew, he
knocked the man down with Delaying
pin. Some weeks after the man died,
and Captain Paul, on his return to
Whitehaven, was arrested for murder.
This incident was favorably made
much of by class of English writers
who were fond of portrying Paul Jones
as merely a ruthless pirate, brigand
of the sea. But an English jury sum-
marily acquitted him. He testified in
his own behalf with the frankness and
fearlessness of his nature. When asked
if he had not used more force than
was necessary to preserve discipline,
he answered: MAY it please this hon.
orable court, I may say that it be-
came necessary to strike mutinous
sailor. Whenever it becomes neces-
sary for a commanding officer TO strike
a seaman, it is also necessary to strike
with weapon. / may say that the
necessity to strike carries with it the
necessity to kill or completely disable
the mutineer. l had two brace of
loaded pistols in my belt and could
easily have shot him. l struck with
a Delaying pin in preference, because
| hoped l might subdue him without
killing him" Later in life Paul Jones
threw overheard the cato -nine-tais
on every American war vessel he took
command Of, and treated his fighting
sailors with a regard and consideration
unknown in those rough times.-Lynn
Few Sprague, in the Outing Magazine.
