A Century AGO.

One hundred years ago, following
the battle of the barges," Commodore
Barney and his little naval force were
resting In the Patuxent river, awaiting
developments. The British had learned
wisdom from their late defeat, and
contented themselves with blockading
the mouth of the river. and leaving
the Americans undisturbed in their
retreat. After several weeks OF mac
tion the British determined upon an
other attempt to destroy the American
dotilla as a move preliminary to ad-
vancing with their land forces upon
Washington. But Commodore Barney
frustrated their plans by sending his
barges farther up the river, where the
larger vessels of the enemy could not
follow. Commodore Barney, knowing
the defense of the national capital was
of far greater importance than the
fate of his hotilla, finally decided to
destroy his boats and send his men
across the country to join the Amer
lean lines before Washington.

The mate called down into the

With the assent OF the skipper Mr..

Mrs. Manship seemed surprised at
Mr.. Perky's occupation, but contented
herself with sitting on the hatch and
