AN OLD TIME NAVAL EVENT.
John Paul Jones' Greatest Exploit. the
Defeat of the Scraps,

Following up many feats of daring,
John Paul Jones In the summer of
l11S captured near the English coast
the British twenty gun warship Drake.
OF superior build to his vessel the
Ranger, and carried 1t into Brest with
100 prisoners. He had already won
renown In America, and as a result of
this victory he was placed In command
Of the ship Duras, furnished by the
french government In recognition of
his valor. Jones changed the name of
the ship to Bonhomme Richard and
In August, 1779, sailed with a squad
ron Of five vessels, three American
and two French for the coast of Scot
land, creating even greater alarm
among the inhabitants than he had
done on a previous raid
When Off Marlborough, Jones fell in
with feet of forty-one British mer-
chantmen returning from the Baltic
and conveyed by two powerful men,
of-war-the Scraps, carrying forty
guns, and the Countess Of Scarbor-
ough, with twenty guns. On the even
ing of Sept %, 1779, Jones engaged
the Scraps In battle. and after three
hours of desperate fighting, during
which the two ships were dashed to-
gether, the Scraps surrendered. The
Bonhomme Richard, however, was SO
badly damaged that it sank two days
later, the crew In the meantime being
transferred to the Scraps.
For this victory, his most famous
exploit, Jones, upon his arrival In Par
is, was presented by Louis XVI. with
a gold mounted sword and was deco
rated with the cross Of the Order of
Military Merit. Upon his return to
America, In 1871, congress voted him
a gold medal, passed resolution COM
mending his zeal, prudence and In
trepidity,'' assigned him to the com
mand Of ship of the line then build
ing and proposed to create for him the
rank of rear admiral. He also received
complimentary letter from General
Washington.
