He took his Squadron to Tangier, had negotiations opened with the Emperor of Morocco, and coming to an arrangement of the difficulties the prize ship was given up. I then quitted her, not caring to be in his Majesty's service, and joined the Commodore's ship as passenger until we met with the ' Philadelphia.' On our passage up we spoke a British Frigate who informed us of her loss as stated.
" I then, in the harbor of Syracuse, joined the Schooner ' Enterprise,' Lieutenant Stephen Decatur, comm...ander.
Was with him when the Frigate ' Philadelphia' was burned in the harbor of Tripoli and when he captured, by board- ing, the Gun Boats in one of the actions with the enemy's vessels and batteries." In the general plan which had been formed for the capture and destruction of the " Philadelphia," Lieutenant Lawrence and ten men, with midshipmen Laws and Mac- donough, were directed by Decatur to fire the berth deck and forward store-room, and they did their duty coura- geously and well. Admiral Nelson at this time was in com- mand of the English fleet blockading Toulon, and when he heard of the destruction of the " Philadelphia" and the way it was effected he declared it to be " the most bold and daring act of the age." For his services on this occasion the young midshipman was promoted to the rank of lieu- tenant, his commission being dated May 18, 1804.
