Trepassey, which is to be the aerial
hopping-off place for American naval
airplanes essaying a flight across the
Atlantic, is only a name to the vast
majority of those who are following
the newspaper reports of the flight.
1t is merely little village on bay
that makes a tiny dent in the coast
line of Newfoundland. But the name
is intimately connected with one of
the most brilliant exploits of the

feated by the Alliance. commanded
by Commodore John Barry. after the
American ship was crippled and ap-

ton, the wind fell and Barry's ship

ish ships, being smaller and of lighter
draft, put out their sweeps, each of
these huge oars manned by half A
dozen husky sailormen. and the two
craft, armed with the usual guns
and a number of carronades in addi-
ton, slowly crept up to the American
vessel.
Choosing their position, the British
craft were able to maneuver so that
all of their guns and carronades
could be brought to bear, while the
Alliance could only work a single
gun. Soon the American ship was
r:ddled by solid shot. grapeshot and
