he had to leave her, was
completely defeated. "The important fact," says Theodore
Roosevelt "was that though we had nine guns less [than the enemy]
yet at a broadside, they threw half as much metal again as our
antagonist. With such odds in our favor, it would have been a
disgrace to have been beaten. The chief merit of the American
Commander and his followers were indomitable courage and
determination not to be beaten. This is no slight merit; but it
may well be doubted if it would have insured victory had
Barclay's force been as strong as Perry's.... It must always be
remembered that when Perry fought this battle he was but 27 years
old; and the commanders of his other vessels were younger still."
Another distinction which Perry won on this occasion is that he
enriched our diction when in writing to Gen. Harrison to announce
his victory, he said, "We have met the enemy, and they are ours."

Perry commanded the "Java" in the Mediterranean expedition of
1815-16 and died of yellow fever at Trinidad in 1819.

Sandusky had a spacious landlocked harbour, much improved by government
works and its trade in coal, lumber, stone, cement, fish, ice, fruit and
grape juice is extensive. Its manufactures include tools, iron and steel
products, chemicals, paper, agricultural implements, lumber products,
gasoline engines, dynamos, glass and cement, with a total value annually
of some $20,000,000.

[Illustration: An American Cartoon (1813)

Queen Charlotte is represented as saying, "Johnny, won't you take
some more Perry?" while "Johnny Bull" replies: "Oh! Perry!!! Curse
that Perry! One disaster after another. I have not half recovered
of the Bloody Nose I got at the Boxing Match." In a ballad of the
day the verse occurs:

"On Erie's wave, while Barclay brave,
With Charlotte making merry,
He chanced to take the belly-ache,
We drenched him so with Perry."

"Perry" was a kind of indigestible drink made from pear-juice. The
"boxing-match" refers to the capture of the "Boxer" by the
American schooner "Enterprise."]
