would consider the fitting out Of a
vessel for Lafayette The American
ENJOYS thought it no more than right
to- tell this to Lafayette and to try to
dissuadc him from going to America.
The clcvcrucss of Lafayette, however
saw the opportunity to turn this dark
disaster to "a point of advantage. He
received the news with calm and de-
libcratc attention, and thanking Mr..
Deane for his kindness said: Until
now, sir, YOU have only seen my ar
dor i'm your cause; l may now prove
to be really useful l shall myself
purchase a ship. We must show our
confidence i'm the future Of the cause,
and it is especially in the hour Of dam
ger that wish to share your for
tune"
This reply cast a new light ON the
circumstances. The plan was pressed
forward, and preparations were made
to find a vessel and fit it out All this
had to be done i'm secret, and the Gag
erness of Lafayette called for haste.
His ships were soon ready and ON
April 20, I777, he sailed forth ON his
voyage.
After being seven weeks ON his jour
ncy Lafayette arrived at Chmlestown,
and was soon making preparations for
the long journey to Philadelphia.
Thirty days Of discowaging travel
brought them to their destination,
where they received a somewhat cold
reception. owing to the fact that Con-
grcss had received many offers from
other foreigners demanding high rank
i'm the American army, and Lafayette
and his officers were allowed to trail
from Office to Office presenting their
credentials to inattentiyc ears.
Lafayette, determined to gain a
hearing, wrote a letter to congress i'm
which he said: After the sacrifices
that ] have made i'm this cause, have
the right to ask two ravors at your
hands; one is that I may serve with
out pay, at my own expense; and the
other is that l may be allowed TO serve
at first as a volunteer.
Congress recognized i'm this letter a
far different spirit from that OF other
foreigners. and ON July 3D. Ill., they
