John Yarnall John Joliffe Yarnall ( 1786 - 1815 ) was an officer in the United States Navy during the War of 1812 and the Second Barbary War . Born in Wheeling , Virginia ( later West Virginia ) , Yarnall was appointed midshipman in the Navy on 11 January 1809 . Between 1809 and 1812 , Yarnall cruised the coastal waters of the United States in " Chesapeake " and " Revenge " performing duty that was tantamount to blockading his own country to enforce President James Madison ' s embargo on trade with the European adversaries during the Napoleonic Wars . In 1813 , he was transferred to Oliver Hazard Perry ' s command on the Great Lakes and became the first lieutenant on board Perry ' s flagship , " Lawrence " . He participated in the decisive Battle of Lake Erie on 10 September 1813 and , though wounded , refused to leave his post during the engagement . When Perry shifted his flag to " Niagara " during the battle , Lt . Yarnall assumed command of " Lawrence " . After the battle , he took the squadron ' s wounded on board and carried them back to Erie for medical attention . For his performance in the battle , Yarnall earned Perry ' s commendation as well as a medal expressing the gratitude of Congress and the country . In the spring of 1815 , Yarnall sailed from New York with Stephen Decatur in the frigate " Guerriere " for the Mediterranean Sea to conduct the Second Barbary War . On 17 June , off the Algerian coast , his ship encountered and captured " Mashuda " , the flagship of the Algerian Navy . During that engagement , Yarnall again suffered wounds . In recognition of his role in the battle , and perhaps because of his wounds , Decatur chose Lt . Yarnall to carry the dispatches from Decatur ' s squadron to the government in Washington , D . C . . In July 1815 , Yarnall embarked in the sloop - of - war " Epervier " for the voyage home . The warship was last seen on 14 July 1815 as she passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and into the Atlantic . Presumably , Yarnall and all others on board went down with her during the transatlantic voyage . Two ships , USS " Yarnall " , were named for him .

Battle of Marilao River The Battle of Marilao River was fought on March 27 , 1899 , in Marilao , Bulacan , Philippines , during the Philippine – American War . It was one of the most celebrated river crossings of the whole war , wherein American forces crossed the Marilao River , which was 80 yards wide and too deep to ford , while under Filipino fire from the opposite bank . Background . After the failed Filipino counterattack to regain Manila on February 23 , General Antonio Luna , the Chief of War Operations of the Philippine Republic , resigned his post on February 28 in protest to the reinstatement of the Kawit Battalion , which Luna had disarmed for insubordination during the earlier fighting around Caloocan . During Luna ' s absence , Aguinaldo himself took over the military affairs , for the only time in the whole course of the war . Meanwhile , the Americans , fearing another counteroffensive from the Filipino side , took their time waiting for reinforcements under General Henry Ware Lawton . These arrived between March 10 and 23 . By March 25 , the Americans under MacArthur renewed their offensive against Caloocan and Polo , up to the ultimate drive to Malolos . Battle . The American force , after the Battle of Malinta , had advanced to Marilao on March 27 . It was part of the campaign for the Capture of Malolos , the Philippine capital . The Filipino force was led by President Emilio Aguinaldo himself , commanding the organized forces of General Isidro Torres , General Pantaleon Garcia ( who just came straight from Dagupan with a thousand riflemen ) and Colonel Enrique Pacheco . The Americans fought with the Filipinos within the range of around 400 yards . Meanwhile , the Filipinos destroyed bridges to delay American artillery units . The Americans gained superiority in the battle only after severe fighting and the use of gunboats in the river that " " made great execution " " of Filipino soldiers . The American official account had admitted that Aguinaldo acted with a great sense of military strategy , averting disastrous routs while succeeding to sustain heavy damage on the enemy ( that is , the Americans ) . The losses in the American drive to Malolos , the account also stated , had proved the Filipinos ' effective fighting quality . Aftermath . On the American side , the American official history stated that 14 were killed and 65 more wounded . In the account of Teodoro Agoncillo , the battle resulted to 15 killed and 70 wounded . The Filipino side had sustained 90 dead . After resting at Guiguinto , Bulacan from March 29 to 30 , 1899 , the American division under General Arthur MacArthur , Jr . pushed to the suburbs of Malolos by the afternoon of March 30 . Malolos fell the next day , on March 31 , since the Americans faced only token resistance . The American forces would rest in Malolos until April 1899 , when they would have to shatter the Calumpit - Apalit Line at the Battle of Quingua and Battle of Calumpit .
Vittorio Bottego Vittorio Bottego ( ; July 29 , 1860 – March 17 , 1897 ) was an Italian army officer and one of the first Western explorers of Jubaland in the Horn of Africa ( now part of Somalia ) , where he led two expeditions . Bottego was born in Parma . He was an Artillery captain in the Italian Army . In his first expedition he concentrated on tracing the channels of the tributaries of the Ganale Doria . With Captain Grixoni , Bottego left Bardera on 30 September 1892 , with one hundred and twenty - four men . On November 7 they reached the Shebeli River at Imi on 7 November . After eight days they crossed the river , entering the country of the Arsi Oromo , who proved hostile to Bottego . He passed through Arkebla and reached the Ganale Guracha ( " Black Ganale " ) on 11 December , along whose banks he led his men upstream for 20 days . Concluding that this was not the main stream of the Ganale , Bottego left the river in a west - south - western direction until he reached the Ganale Doria , or the main fork of the Ganale , on 16 January 1893 . Sick with fever , here Bottego was left by Grixoni who marched for the coast on 15 February with 30 men . Four days after Grixoni left , Bottego pushed inland as far as Mount Fakes , but unwilling to encounter raiding parties of the Ethiopians , he returned to the camp where Grixoni had left him . Bottego then crossed the tract separating him from the Dawa , and ascended that river until lack of provisions compelled him retrace his steps . His party reached the Ganale once more after six forced marches , in the course of which eleven men died of hunger . Two more died in camp from exhaustion , and two were drowned while hunting hippopotamuses . In his second expedition ( 1895 – 1897 ) , he ventured into the then unknown region of the upper Juba , Lake Rudolf and the Sobat . He was the first European explorer to follow the course of the lower Omo River to its confluence with Lake Turkana . He then tried to return through Ethiopia , unaware that the country was at war with Italy , let alone that there had been a recent Ethiopian victory at Adwa . He was killed in the Maji range near Jellen in a battle with an Oromo tribe . His body was never recovered , and the account of his demise was told years later by two of his companions , Vannutelli and Citerni , who survived the battle but were kept in prison for two years by Menelik II , emperor of Ethiopia .
