were lying broadside to the town and
had all their guns trained in that direc-

be drawn up behind tie mysterious screen
in preparation for our undoing.' After
the treaty was concluded the commodore
wished to give the japanese government
some specimens of American specie. and
the Macedonian was called upon to fur
