BRAVE DECATUR.
The Story of His Fierce Attack ON
Tripolitan Vessel.

The story of His Fierce Attack ON -
Tripolitan Vessel.
Gardner w. Allen in bis book, "Our
Navy and the Barbary Corsairs," re-
tells the old story Of how Commodore
Stephen Decatur, then a lieutenant in
the United States navy, attacked a
Tripolitan vessel. The incident occur
red in 1904, when Preble was lying off
Tripoli. Young Decatur had been told
that the captain of this vessel had
treacherously murdered his brother,
John Decatur, after he had surrendered
to him. Mr.. Allen writes: HE ran
Macdonough and the remnant Of his
crew. Decatur singled out the captain,
a man Of great size and strength, and
attacked him furiously. The Tripoli-
tan made a thrust with his boarding
pike, and in attempting to parry the
blow Decatur's cutlass was broken off
at the hilt, leaving him for the mo-
ment unarmed. Another thrust of the
pike wounded him in the arm. Decatur
seized the weapon, wrenched it away
and grappled with his antagonist. Aft.
er short struggle they fell to the deck
with Decatur on top.
Meanwhile the two crews were fight
ing furiously about their leaders, and
Tripolitan aimed a blow at Decatur's
head with his scimiter, when a seaman
named Daniel Frazier, having both
arms disabled by wounds. interposed
his head and received the blow, which
laid open the scalp. The Tripolitar
captain. being more powerful than De
catur, soon turned him underneath and
holding him down with his left hand
drew knife and was about to plungt
1t into his breast.
Decatur seized the uplifted arm
with his left hand, while he managed
to get his right into his pocket, where
he had pistol. Giving it the proper
direction, he fred through the pocket

Richmond merchants and manufac-
turers are already beginning to feel
the wholesome effects of the injec-
tions of ginger being administered to
item by the Young Mems Business
club. The first taste tho business in

efits derived by inducing large crowds

the men of affairs in this city ere
clamoring for more" The second

club is preparing to dish out is the

facturers in Richmond are prepared to
give this venture all the necessary
financial encouragement, as they real
to the city.
bringing crowds into the city is
certainly benefit to tho merchants
stated Thomas Nicholson of the Mich
olson book store" 1t is estimated
that every person who comes to the
city spends on the average one dollar
True, some business concerns do not

town people in to the city, but indirect
ly they are benefited, because eventu

money spent by the visitors. Rich
mond has too long permitted its citi
Zens to spend their money out of tn,
city. 1t is certainly good policy to at
| tract out OF town dollars into Rich
mond."
In this statement Mr.. Nicholson re
fleets the opinion of every business
man in the city. These business mel
also realize that the plan of the YOUNG
Mems Business club in making Rich
mond mecca for out Of town people
has other merits besides bringing
money into the city. They can Sc
that the bringing of crowds into Rich
mond serves to advertise the city. 81
