cause it gives warning that you are over

Anxious Over Forts Fate.
The three friends paced the deck
of the ship anxiously watching and
fearful lest the Americans be obliged
to surrender. Sometimes the bombs
bursting in the air made such a vivid
glare the men could get glimpse of
the flag floating over the fort. Then
all would be darkness and just the
roar Of the bombardment seemed to
sweep about them.
In the early dawn September IA.
1914, the Americans looked toward
the fort and were rejoiced to see that
the flag was still flying and that the
English had given up the attack upon
the city. Key was so happy that,
Selling an old letter he scrubbed on
the back Of it poem which expressed
the feeling he had as he watched the
flag through the long, perilous night.
When the British commander let
Key and his friends go back to Balti-
more. he wrote out this song and gave
st to a friend. The friend felt at once
that it was SO good it must be given
to the world and so it was printed
and sung everywhere-in the streets,
