ance aboard the American vessel.
Rodgers greeted him courteously, and
then asked:
DO you know what ship you are
aboard OFF,"
"Why, yes" responded the British
officer; cit is his majesty's ship, Sea-
horse"
did you ever hear of a vessel
called The President?" inquired
Rodgers.
Indeed Ixhave," replied the unsus-
pecting Englishman. "That is the
craft we are supposed to take"
well, The President has taken
you" smiled Rodgers.
The full truth of the rus by which
he had been betrayed flashed at once
upon the chagrined Briton, but he
saw that he was helpless. The crew
Of The President we're at quarters
ready for instant action, and the
Highfyer lay at their mercy under
the frowning muzzIes Of the Ameri-
can guns. There was nothing for it
but to submit as gracefully as pos
sible. Rodgers ordered the British
colors struck, and soo the stars and
stripes f1oated in the breeze over
both vessels. The sword worn by
Hutchinson, the English commander,
was the personal property of Rodgers,
taken amidst other plumber at the
burning of Havre de Grace, but
destined to be returned to the owner
in token Of the surrender of one Of
his majesty's crack sea-fghters.
The Highf1yer was taken captive to
the American shore, and the country
once again rang with the praises of
the dashing and ingenious Rodgers.
To Rodgers and The President also
belongs the peculiar distinction of
having fought for 80 hours in abso-
lutte daylight. This is explained by
the fact that the engagement in ques-
ton took place in the Norway lati-
tudes where perpetual daylight exists
at a certain season Of the year. It

clans were sent home and their
places taken by youthful enthusiasts
who infused fresh blood and spirit
Among the latter were Henry Clay
of Kentucky and John Calhoun of
South Carolina. These two became
leaders in house and senate, and it
was chiefly owing to their fiery elo-
quence in defense Of Rodgers action,
and in favor of adopting punitive
measures with regard to England, that
President Madison vas finally forced
to declare war.
More than one writer has fallen
into the error of declaring Commo-
dore John Rodgers to have been of
foreign birth. AS a matter of fact,
he was American to the core, having
been born in the state of Maryland,
July II, It'll. His favorite vessel was
The President and with her he ac-
complished wonders of naval war
fare. When the wal with England
opened he was sent out on a cruise,
and in 148 days captured II British
merchant ships and the English
armed schooner, the Highfyer. The
crew of the latter vessel had burned
and plundered Havre de Grace, Mary
land, the home of Rodgers, so that the
commodore may be said to have had
private as we'll as patriotic reasons
for wishing to lay The President
alongside of her.
T Before he sailed from Boston Rodg-
ers had obtained from some unknown
source a partial knowledge Of the
secret signal code of the British
navy, and caused certain flags to
be constructed accordingly. When
he came in sight Of the Highfyer he
flew the British ensign, which was
Immediately hailed. A signal was
then displayed on the English YES
sci, and Rodgers succeeded in an
swering it correctly. He then sig
nailed that he was the British ship
Seahorse, and the two vessels ranged
alongside each other. One of Rodgers
officers donned the uniform of a
British lieutenant and went aboard
the Highfyer, where he Informed the
commander that part Of the High
flyers signal code was lost, and
asked that he be allowed to make
good the deficiency. The permission
was graciously granted and taken
advantage of, after which the British

his government, in that he would not
allow the flag of his county and en-
sign of his command to be f1outed.
That Rodgers assumed the entire re-
sponsibility Is further shown by a
diary kept by one Of his officers,
which reads, in part, as follows:
yesterday, May 16, while beating
down the bay, we spoke to a brig
coming up who Informed us that he
saw the, British frigate the day before
off the very place where we now are,
but she is not in sight. We have
made the most complete preparations
for battle. Everyone wishes it. She
Is of exactly our force. Should we
see her l have not the least doubt of
our engagement. The commodore
(Rodgers) will demand the person
impressed, the demand will doubtless
be refused, and the battle will in
stantly commence. The commodore
has called in the boatswain, gunner,
and carpenter, and informed them
Of all the circumstances, and asked
if they were ready for action.

Just why historians treat this es-
sential beginning Of our second war
with England so lightly, and accord
it so little space, practically passing
it over as unimportant, is hard to
comprehend. Investigation proves it
to have been in our country the
cause Of a political revolution, and
the Inauguration of IN American pro-
tectorate on the oceans, seas, bays,
lakes and rivers of the world. Yet
the victory won by Rodgers is &C

crate twenty volume history of the

Bryant's four huge volumes a single
sentence of two lines Is all that is
allotted this most daring naval ex-
plot.
So intense was the feeling aroused
by Rodgers feat-of-arms that in the
fall of 1911 the campaign for congress
sional representatives both in the
senate and house were chosen on the
terms voiced in the pertinent ques-
ton: "Are you for a war with Eng
land?" Those who answered in the
affirmative were elected, and those
who disapproved of martial measures
