BATTLE OF CARTACENA
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.
August ne. 17n2-

TT was just 21O years ago-August
10. 17O2-that the grim old British
= -seadog, admiral Benbow, had his
famous fight with the French off Car
tagena, in the West Indies.
The French were very strong at that
time in those waters, and in looking
about for some man who would not
be afraid of them king James pitched
upon Benbow, and the sequel proved
that he made no mistake in his selec-
ton.
Coming up with the enemy. the other
ships of his squadron fell astern tan
altogether extraordinary thing for
English vessels to do) and Benbow
was left alone to maintain the battH
Undaunted by the desertion of his
ships, the fearless old. admiral gave
chase in his good ship the Breda, and
kept up running fight for the five
days
Catching up finally with the rear
most vessel of the fleet, he grappled
her and began to board her, when he
received two severe wounds Presently
chain shot took off his leg Still
he would not be moved from the
quarterback, but continued fighting till
the morning, when the French ran
away.
In October following, at Jamaica,
the fearless old admiral died of his
wounds, but not until he had received

WILLS l. MOORE. ca,

the following letter from the French
admiral:
Sir had planned to sup in your
cabin on the evening of the day of our
battle, but it pleased God to order it
otherwise. I am thankful for it. AS
for those cowardly captains who de-
serted you, hang them up, for by God
they deserve it,
Du Case got his wish. The coward
ly captains Kirby and Wade. who
by their flight forced Benbow to play
a lone hand in the war game against
the whole French fleet, were, on their
arrival at Plymouth, eourtmartialed
and shot.
10 this day the name of John Ben
bow is cherished by the people of
England with peculiar pride and al
lection From his boyhood straight up
to the day on which the chain shot
struck him during the fight off Car
tagena, he stood ready to do his duty
without fear of consequences From
the day on which. as mere youth, he
tackled the pirates on the Mediterra-
mean to the day on which his valor
ELECTED the letter of praise from ad-
miral Du Case. he proved himself a
man without fear and without re-
prOach.
In all the annals of England there
is no cleaner. grander or more in
spring name than that of John Ben
bow the herr Of Cartag ena.

Sharkey to New York sporting editors,
Il feel assured that'-sh, read his let
ter for yourself.
Having read an article in a number
of papers which leads me to believe
that Tommy Burns, who fought Jack
Johnson in Australia, is seeking a re-
turn match with the black champion
] would be pleased to have the sport
that 1 am ready to arrange a match
the latter may name.
Burns never fought Jeffries for the
title he assumed, as he was never
looked upon as a likely opponent for
the big fellow when the latter was
the real champion of all champions
while my record shows that I fought
him % of the hardest rounds he ever
engaged in at the Coney Island Sport
ing club. The decision given against
me by George Siler, the referee, and
announced by Johnny Dunn, as the lat,
ter's ruling on points scored by JEFF
fries. was far from being a popular
verdict I should have been given a
draw having forced the pace from
start to finish, which the moving pic
lures of the fight proved
"I feel assured that II I take
course of strict training, 7 can re-
enter the ring ana defeat Burns, who
is about the size and weight at which
I fought Jim Jeffries. Trusting that
you will notice the above and aid me
to gain recognition from the challenger
Of Jack Johnson, I remain, yours
truly, Thomas J. Sharkey,"
