The gallant governor bid fair to pay
dearly for his enthusiasm, for Chris
topher Greathead, who commanded the
British island at st. Kits. hearing that
a certain North American vessel had
been supplied at st. EuStatius and had
saluted the Dutch fort of Orange. and
that the fort had replied, demonstrated
against this insult TO his Britannia ma
jesty.
Proof of this salutatiOn were sent to
Sir Knight York, English ambassador
t. the Dutch republic, and he laid them
before the high and mighty states gen.
eral and demanded a formal disavowal
of the salute and the discharge and re-
call of De Graft. The governor was
cited TO appear before the states gen
eral, but he delayed doing so, and when
he eventually reached Holland. i'm IT'S.
France had acknowledged the indepen-
dence of the American colonies and
other nations soon followed. The Of
tense of De Graft was no longer a soil
tary one. and the complaint against him
was lost sight of and forgotten.
1t was on June IA, 1777. that the
American congress- resolved that the
flag Of the thirteen united states should
consist of thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white, with thirteen stars, white in
a blue field, representing a new con-
stellation.
Paul Jones claimed that il was his
good fortune to be the first to display
the stars and stripes on a naval vessel
and it had previously been his to hoist
with his own hand the flag Of Amer
lea on board the navel vessel Alfred
He was appointed on June IA, 1777 to
the command of the Ranger. which car
ried battery of sixteen six-pounders.
He crossed the Atlantic and, on en-
tering Quiberon bay. on the 14th of
February, 1878. he saluted the French
fleet under Admiral La Motto Piquet
and received in return a salute of nine
guns. This was the first foreign salute
of the stars and stripes. and the sub
jet has been commemorated i'm the
paintings and engravings with which
the public is generally familiar.

FIRST FOREIGN SALUTE
TO THE AMERICAN FLAG

When and where the American flag
was first saluted by a foreign govern
ment has been the subject of consider
able controversy, although the actual
facts of the case are, and for some time
have been. well known TO careful stu
dents of American history
1t is popularity supposed that the first
salute was given to the American war
ship Ranger, when she was under COM
mand of Paul Jones, and that the event
occurred in 1778. On the other hand, il
has long been known to students of his
tory that two years earlier q salute was
given 70 the American flag by the gov
ernor of one of the Dutch West Indian
Islands
The confusion has arisen from the
fact that prior TO the adoption of the
stars and stripes as the national en-
blem. the colonies had adopted another
flag i'm which the stars did not appear.
1t was the earlier flag. says the Scien-
tihc American, which was saluted in
1716, while Paul Jones is quite correct
in stating that the first foreign salute
to the stars and stripes was given to
the little war vessel Ranger while she
was under his own command.
The necessity for the adoption Of
common national flag does not seem to
have impressed itself upon the Amer
iNdi tOlOilitS uUlli toward the close or
the year 1775, when a committee con-
sisting of Dr. Franklin, Mr.. Lynch and
Mr. Harrison was appointed to consider
this subject. They met at the camp of
the cOlonials at Cambridge and pro-
posed the adoption of a flag which
should retain in the corner the kings
colOrS or Union Jack. consisting OF the
combined crosses of st. Andrew and St.
George. thereby representing the still
recognized sovereignty of England. but
that the field of the flag should consist
Of thirteen stripes alternate red and
white. which should be emblematic of
the union of the thirteen colonies
against the tyranny and oppression of
the king.
The new flag was adopted. and it was
first hOisted on Jan. 2. 1875, the event
taking place at the continental camp
at Cam bridge This flag is known al
the Continental Union flag.
The first vessel to receive a salute
for the continental flag from a foreign
power was the little brig Andrea Doria.
commanded by Captain Robinson This
vessel was purchased prior TO the adop-
tiop of the new national emblem and
olas Biddle. In September, 1875. she
sailed from Philadelphia for the island
of st. Eustatius to take aboard a cargo
of arms.
On her arrival at that port on Nov
l6, 1776, she saluted the Dutch flag.
and her salute was returned by the gov
ernor, De Graft, with thirteen guns.
corresponding 10 the thirteen states.

OF season did not come up before Jus

of helping the officers out. President
h s Margetts called at The Herald
ONCE last evening and. saying that all
though the Solomons were members of
the club, ii was his intention to see
the matter through. He also said the
report that any of the officers of the
club were trying TO hush the matter up
rs wrong, and that he and the directors
would do all they could to work with
the game wardens
Here is his statement:
An article appeared in vour naper
today regarding the illegal shooting of
ducks by James and Redman Solomon
wherein II is stated that two officers of
the club is charged with an effort to
suppress the matter and prevent the
prosecution Of the aforementioned
parties beg TO inform you that such
is not the case I instructed Deputy
Game Warden Ure Sunday to come i'm
Monday morning and file the COMPLAINT
which he did. We are equally .inter-
ested in apprehending any one who
breaks the law and will use every effort
10 punish them-members of the club
or not. Yours truly,
III. S. MARGETTS. President"
