" Sir : " It has pleased the Almighty to give to the arms of the United States a signal victory over their enemies on this lake. The British squadron, consisting of two ships, two brigs, one schooner, and one sloop, have this moment surrendered to the force under my command, after a sharp conflict. "I have the honor to be, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient. servant, . " O. H. PERRY. " 15 'These despatches, brief, clear, modest, penned without delib- 'eration, in the moment of victory, have ...a deserved celebrity. Captain Perry now returned to his own ship, to receive on her deck, in presence of the small remnant of her noble crew ithe commanders of the captured fleet. As he came over the -side of the Lawrence, he was met by her surviving officers. — Not a word was spoken, — the moment was too solemn for speech. Around them, the bodies of their slaughtered com- rades lay, where they had fallen, on the deck that was slippery with their bloi^d ; and the ship resounded with the groans of •the wounded.
