be damned," I fully believe no man living could tell which ship fired first,
 but so it was that each ship fired a broadside. I was at this time on the lower deck commanding two of the eighteen -pounders. Before the action commenced, everything was so silent that a man could easily hear every thing said. At the second broadside, the guns that [ had command of were disn1ounted as s were also all our deck guns, and of course, the men were quartered elsewhere. @ At this time, Jones ordered the helm to be put hard up and to run the enemy on board. It was done. In doing this, her tlib-boom ran between our tnizzen- -shrouds and mizzen-nnast. Her jib-boom carried away our ensign staff and colors. At this, they gave three cheers We answered them with one cheer. Jones at the same time cried out: Look at my mizzen-peak!" at which place was run up the glory of America. I mean

resembles huge black clouds sweeping over the fater, millions of sea pigeons came in from sea last week, close in the wake cf the mamoth schools of sardines. which they were intently pur- suing. Flying three or four deep and q score or more abreast, millions upon millions of the small birds were seen floating over Bakers Bay and the low CT Columbia, forming solid but ever changing mass almost impregnabie to the human gaze. '4, s-7s
 The speed at which they flew was largely a matter of conjecture, but pro- bably was not less than fifty miles an hour. One flock of pigeons was more than two hours passing over thes bar. Thousands of the birds became ertarl- bled in the mesh of the fish trap leads at high tide, and the weight of their bodies is serious menace to the gear4 ing. 1'
 At sea the pigeons can generally be found where the sardines exist, but they come to the river every summer. The ushual custom is to follow schools of whale, which also feed on sardines. Waiting till the sardines are surround ed and the whales are about to rush upon their victims, the pigeons chip in and gorge themselves upon the fish Ilwace Journal
