One hundred years ago October rj the

tiulehed the British frigate Macedonian In
one of those desperate close-quarter bat
tles on the hlirh seas for which the war
of 1812 was noted. That victory served
'further to Imprest on the world the fact
that the young- republic was a. power to
.be reckoned with, and also added to the
el or' of Commodore Stephen Decatur,

the latest move of an army or firing of
modern elghteen-lnch naval shells. It la
hard to realise that trie American nation
did not learn of the victory ot the frigate
United States until It had sailed Into
Newport harbor forty days later, fol
lowed by the captured Englishman,
manned by a prise crew.
Clone Together, Shots l'nll abort.
In October, IS12. the United States, with
the frigate president and the Argus, was
cruising near Madeira, and on October
IS It parted from those vessels and railed
to the southward for the path of Urltlsh
West Indlamen, hoping to Intercept a
merchant ship with a valuable cargo or,
better still, encounter a man-of-war.
October 15 In thut year fell on Sunday.
Tho United States was In latitude de
grees north, longitude degrees 30 min
utes west, when the lookout saw n Mill
to windward. It proved to be the Mace

diately began chase. It soon was certain

They were so close that the crewa ot
each could hear the cheering of the men
aboard the other, but atlll the fire fell
short.
Captain John 8. Garden was command
ing the Macedonian, and to his Initial
error In mistaking the character of his
pursuer his defeat Is largely attributable.
Captain Cartlen believed tho United
States wna the Kssex, which carried only
carronadca, and ho suddenly altered hl.1
course, squared his yards and crossed
the bow ot the American, letting drive
his forward battery, which did scant
damage.
See Dead nnd Wounded ou Deck.
True, the United States had carronades
above, but It also carried a strong bat
tery ot large guns on the sun deck, and
It was not long before the Knglleh com
mander was apprised ot his mistake by
their tcllltiK fire. He was being cut-to
pieces, so Captain Carden ordered his ves
sel to bear down on the enemy and try
the Issue at closer range.
Hut the terrific .fire directed by Com

from approaching to such close quarters

and hero again Captain Carden was de
ceived. So rapid nas the work of the
Amcrlcuu gunner, so swift was their
firing and reloading, that the belching
of flame und smoku from Its sides was
Incessant, and the Britishers believed the
United States was on tire.
"What ship Is that?"
Captain Carden responded, "His maj
esty's ship, Macedonian, thirty-eight
guns," and then he struck his colors,
which had been run up again while the
United States was tacking around.
When the prise crew went aboard the

mayed lingllahmcn beheld an almost un

like mad af the guns, and never a sign
of a blaze ou board. In return, the
Americans saw in those few moments,
the effect or their tire. The rigging and
Hpani of the Macedonian were cut to
pieces, many guns were dismounted and
dead und wounded were scattered about
on the decks.
The Macedonian's main yurdarm was
hanging loose, the main topmost was
gone entirely, tho fore topmast was tot-
UcrliiK and the colors wore missing.
Commodore Uecatur drew away and
came up under the lee ot the Macedonian,
which fired a feeble broadside. Tho
United Htutes did not respond, but wore

aud more than 100 round 'shot were found
In Its hull. The battle had lamed two
hours. The United States lost five men
killed and six wounded.
As Captain Carden came over the side
ot the conquering frigate, he proffered his
sword, and Commodore Decatur made the
reply which added to his reputation
among fighting men ot nations:
"No. sir, I cannot receive the sword of
a man who has so bravely defended his
ship; but' he hesitated a moment and
smiled "I will receive your hand."
The Macedonian was comparatively, a
new frigate, having been built only two
years before, and at the time of the battle
had been out of dock only four months.

Commodore Decatur assigned young

father, Paul Hamilton, then secretary of'l
