William Eatons Exploits
W1ILLIAM EATON of Woodstock, Connecticut,

Tobias Lear WashlngtOns secretary, denounced
him a swashbuckler, he is the favorite soldier
adventurer of this class. He had served SER
geant in the Continental army, and in 700 ap-
pointed Consul in Tunis At this juncture our
troubles with the Barbary States reached crisis.
The Bashaw of Tripoli, one Jusef Caramali, held
many Americans captive, and would not
them on reasonable terms This Bashaw was
something of usurper, having deposed his brother
Hamet; Eaton, finding that negotiations with
Jusef were impossible, after obtaining the sanction
of his Government, he always stouty maintained,
went to Cairo where the deposed Hamet living
in SeclusiOn and poverty.
Eaton fired his soul with a touch of his own
desperate daring, and together they enlisted small
army, never more than five hundred men, composed
of Arabs, Greeks, and a sprinkling of American
adventures. And in 1905 Eaton led this desperate
and not always devoted band six hundred miles
across the waste places of the Libyan desert. He
captured Dernah, and the American flag flew over
this large city for twelve months. Then he went
to Bomba, where in conjunction with six hundred
bluejackets from the Argus and the Hornet, under
Commander Hull, Eaton carried the citadel by
storm, though he himself severely wounded in
the engagement.
Apparently Tripoli was ours the sacrifices made,
the victory won; but unfortunately in the
time Tobias Lear then Consul General in Algiers,

national honor, signed ignoble treaty with the
