On the leading Frenchman came, faster and faster. Still the breeze did not touch our sails. At lengthwe could clearly count her ports, and she appeared in the pureatmosphere even nearer than perhaps she was. Suddenly she yawed. Awhite puff of smoke was seen, and a shot came whizzing across our bows. Another followed. It struck us, and the yellow splinters were seenflying from our sides. The men stood at their quarters ready to beginthe fight. "Not a gun is to be fired till I give the order, " c...ried the Captain. "That will not be long, I fancy, " I heard one of the men say, as I withother boys brought up the powder from below. The frigate still held the breeze and was approaching. Yet our Captainlet her get nearer and nearer. In vain, however, our people waited forthe order to fire. Several more shots came flying over the water, andthe Frenchmen seemed now convinced that they had got us well withinrange. Suddenly luffing up, the enemy fired her whole broadside. Theshot came flying about us, but did no great damage.
