MOON-AND A BATTLE


TT was about seven in the evening
when the two big ships came
within hailing distance. The sea

"Come a little nearer and

A broadside from the Scraps
greeted his answer. Jones set his

Now the battle was coming to a
climax. The Richards tops

answered with a stream of fire

Just then the Alliance, which
had been far in the rear, came
into the battle. Exactly what
caused the next move is a disputed
point in history. Some say that
the captain of the Alliance had a

Potatoes retain the greatest
