Historical Bits
of Famous Flags
An Interesting historical collection hns
been discovered amcng tho mass of mate
rial belonging to tho library of congreis
and Just transferred from tho capllol to
tho now library building, reports tho New
York Sun. It consists of remnants of flags
which wero flown from tho vessels that
nro famous In tho history of tho country.
This collection was found nmong tho pas.
sessions, which Included all sorts of old
literary oddities nnd n valunblo collection
of autographs, loft by the late Peter Force,
a natlvo rf Now Jersey, wnoso father was
.i voternn of tho rovolutlon. Force held
many military and civil offices In Wash
ington. He died In Washington In 1868.
Tho bits of flags havo been carefully pre
served In a largo album between brown
paper leaves, each leaf bearing tho record
and something of tho history of tho patch
of bunting attached to It. The most strik
ing part of tho exhibit Is that devoted to
Perry's captures on Lnko Erie In September,
1813. Thero Is n piece of tho flag which
was flown from Perry's flagship In tho
contest mado memorable by his warning,
"Don't glvo up tho ship." Thero are slz.
pieces of tho flags of tho ships of tho
enemy captured on that occasion tho Queen
Qhnrlotto, Llttlo Dolt, Lady Provost, Manton
and Chlppcway.
Another Interesting remnant Is thnt of the
flag of tho Alliance, the ship which was
of the fleet John Paul Jones formed In Franco
with tho Don Hommo Richard as flagship,
tho purposo of which was the ottacklns
of Drltlsh ships during tho revolution. It
was tho Alllanco which took an Insignifi
cant part, to tho discredit of her eccentric
commandor, n Fronchman named Landals,
In tho fight with thn Seraphs. Tho bit of
flag Is of that carried during tho fight.
Another Interesting flag represented !e
that of L'Insurgente. This flag was cap
tured by Truxtun, who commanded the
Constellation, In nn engagement on Feb
ruary 9, 17D0. It was tho tlrst opportunity
thnt had occurred slnco tho close of tho
rovolutlon for an American navnl vessel to
got nlongsldo of an enemy and the hopos
of tho Amorlcan officers and men for n spir
ited combat wcro realized, for tho French
frlgato under Captnln Ilarracault promptly
replied to the Constellation's fire. In this
contest a young midshipman, David Porter,
porrormcd his first act of gallantry. Ho
wns In command of the forotop of tho Con-
stellntlon and, nctlng on his own responsi
bility, proventcd tho fall of the topmast
nnd nil Its hamper. The victory achieved
by Truxtun produced great Jny In America
nnd established a faith In tho navy which
hns remained unshaken to this day.
A bit of flag which Is also momorablo Is
that of Lo Rerceau, captured by tho Roston
under Captain Little. The American ship
wrought great havoc on board tho French
corvotto, which had tho reputation of being
ono of the fastest ships In tho 'French
marine.
Naturally Startled Him
Chicago Tost: Ho wondered when ho heard
them talking If something In tho news of the
day had escaped blm.
"It was a tcrrlblo slaughter," said one of
them.
"Yes, Indeed," returned tho other; "such
a sacriflco probably never has been known
boforo."
"They must havo slashed right and left,
Just ns descrlbod In the papers," wont on tho
first.
"Yes j the adjcctlvo 'tcrrlflo' so freely used
was certainly Justified," added the second.
"Pardon me," said tho man who had over
heard; "has another battle been fought In
South Afrlcn7 I snw nothing of It."
"Rattle?" ropcated tho one nearest to him.
"What do we know about battles? We had
rcferenco to tho ndvertlaement of a bargain
snle we have Just been attending."
