new slOop of war Wasp, which

herself in American naval history, was
being fitted out in the navy yard at
Portsmouth, n. H. She was a stanch
three-master, carrying II guns to a
broadside. Her crew was purely Amer
lean. all trained seamen from the sea-
board illages and towns of New Eng
land. Much delay was experienced in
fitting the vessel out, but when she
finally did get to sea, at the end of
April, she made straight for the Euro
pean coast and was soon cruising in the
chops of the English channel. Many
English merchantmen were captured and
burned. and the terror that spread in
English shipping circles recalled the days
of Paul Jones.
