1T was about 10 o'clock on a moon
lit night In the Fall OF 1879. Off
- Marlborough Head. on the east
coast OF England. two vessels OF
war were grappled and in fierce
conflict. One had set sail in unsea-
worthy state. Ii was old and I'M
safe. its armament was defective. its
crew was nondescript. being made up
Of Americans. British. Portuguese
and several other nationalities. The
other was in splendid condition. with
much heavier and o effective
armament and with n finely-trained
crew.
And the fight war going against
the unseaworthy craft. Most of its
guns had been silenced. its decks
were strewn with killed and wounded
men. its sides had been shot away.
fire was blazing in several parts.
water was pouring in through the
seams that had bee opened in its
hull and had mounted several feet in
the hold.
Then IL was-when the unsea,
worthy craft seemed to be hopelessly
beaten and doomed to destruction
and the captain or the more fit vessel
had asked the commander IL he were
ready TO surrender-that in reply the
words Il have not begun 10 fight
YET were spoken.
The speaker was John Paul Jones.
of the American Navy. Jones sailed
close in-so close that the two YES
sells drifted together broadside TO.
And as they ground against each
other he dashed his craft 10 the
enemy. And he fought his ship well
but the odds seemed too long
against him and the battle seemed
certain to be lost-and would have
been-if his reply. ringing with high
courage and unbreakable valor. had
not inspired those under him to fren-
zied effort that was almost super
human and proved irresistible against
the foe.
In a short time-almost before the
echo OF the words had died away
the battle had turned. Though very
few or the Bonhomme Richards an
non were firing, a shot brought down
the mainmast OF the Serapis-the
musket fire from its top-gear in
creased in the fury Of its sweep
across the enemy's decks-combus-
tibles we're hurled with deadlier ac-
curacy from the seemingly beaten
American craft and a bucket of hand
grenades that set off d great num-
Der OF cartridges was pitched aboard
the Britisher. And before many min
utes had passed the Scraps. though
II was still sound and a number OF
its guns were still firing. struck
colors.
Thus did the lofty courage and in
spring heroism OF John Paul Jones
turn defeat into a glorious victory.
John Paul Jones Cor John

Scotland, July 8. f747. He was
the son Of John Paul, a Scotch
gardener. He went to sea and
