of the courtmartial that had tried Com
lnodore Barron. The commodore, in
1907, while in command of the ChcSa-
peake, had been halted by the British
warship Leopard and the Leopard after
hring on the Chesapeake had taken
three men off the Chesapeake, declaring
they were deSerters. Two of the men
were American citizns. For surrender
ing his ship and for going to sea un-
prepared to defend the vessel the com
modore was put on trial and the court
had sentenced him to five years sus-
pension. The sentence had expired In
1872, but Barron did not return to the
United States until after the close of
the war. Then he applied for reinstate-
ment While disclaiming any prejudice
against Barron, Decatur, as navy COM
missioner. opposed the reinstatement
OF the commodore.
Bitterly resenting the attitude of
Decatur, Commodore Barron began a
correspondence with his old shipmate,
which led to Barron on Feb. G. 1920,
challenging Decatur to a duel. On
March % the two commodores met on
the field of Bladensburg. Commodore
Bainbridge was Decatur's second and
Capt. Elliott, whose conduct at the bat
tie of Lake Erie was bad. was second
for Barron.
The men were by no means equally
matched. Decatur was a master hand

sighted that he could not distinguish an
object 100 yards away. Decatur had
determined to permit Barron to fire at

proposed to make the distance eight

be minimized. This was agreed to.

| frigate, only to be cut to pieces by the
swords of the Americans.
The Tripolitans had the reputation of
being the greatest hand to hand fight
'ers in the world, but they were no
match for the Americans. Those who
reached the deck sought to escape by
jumping overheard. Those who were
driven below sought to hide in the hold
of the frigate. There a horrible death
awaited them.
Within 10 minutes Decatur had cap
tured the frigate and not an American
had been wounded.
THE PHILADELPHIA AFLAME
Decatur might possibly have taken
the frigate out of the harbor. Such
an achievement would have been won
derful indeed, but his orders were TO
burn the great ship. The ketch was
loaded with combustibles. These were
transferred hurriedly to the frigate and
the torch applied. The ship burned
so rapidly that many of those below
had no chance to escape.
With the Philadelphia a raging fur
mace Decatur and his men sprang for
the ketch. He was the last to leave
the frigate He tried to move off. but
the Intrepid clung to the Philadelphia.
Flames were pouring out of the port
holes of the frigate and sparks were
falling on the tarpaulin that covered
the ketch's supply of powder. At any
moment there was likely to be an eX
plosion. The men on the ketch could
not understand what held them to the
frigate until some one discovered that
the stern lines had not bcen cast off.
With the energy OF desperation Decatur
and others hacked at the lines with
their swords and the men bent to the
oars. Then as the lines parted the
ketch darted away. When they had
cleared the shower of sparks the men
rose from their oars and yelled like
Comanches. Their feelings relieved,
they resumed rowing.
THE ESCAPE.
Meanwhile the city was in turmoil.
Drums were beating, troops were rae
ing about men were shouting, guns
were being discharged and lights were
appearing all along the shore. But
there was another note soon added to
the list. One Of the big guns of the
Philadelphia, discharged by the heat Of
the fire, had sent its shot into the city.
The next moment the castle, the gun
boats and the batteries opened fire on
the little ketch There We're S4 men
on the ketch. and they rowed as S4
men never rowed before perhaps. Shots
fell all around them, but, marvellous
to relate, not one struck the vessel.
How the gunners missed them when the
whole harbor was as light as day from
the flaming frigate is hard to under
stand.
From being so long in tropical port
the Philadelphia's timbers were dry as
tinder. and the big ship burned like a
torch. Her guns exploded in rapid sue
cession, and then the huge craft, part
Ing from her anchors. went drifting
shoreward. Under the castle she blew
up.
The Intrepid was beyond the range OF
the shore guns when the Philadelphia's
fragments were scattered over. the va
