My purpose is to have you glance hastily with me at Commodore Perr}- and the " Niagara " at the end of the battle in which they took such a conspicuous part. It was fought, you will remember, near Put-in-Bav, where a memorial is in process of construction, on Sep- perry's victory centennial souvenir tember 10, 1813, beginning at fifteen minutes before noon of that day. The presence of tbe " Niagara, " now here before our eyes, tends to increase our interest in tbe exact pari this historic vesse...l took in the battle. Before 3 :00 o'clock, P. M. , tbe " Lawrence, " tbe sister ship of the " Niagara, " which had, with Commodore Perry in command, borne tbe brunt of tbe battle up to that time and withstood tbe concentrated lire of the whole British fleet, was disabled — eighty-three of the one hundred and three men on board were killed or wounded; the deck was slippery with blood, which ran down tbe sides of the ship; the wounded aiid the dead lay thickly strewn everywhere around; every o-un in the ship's battery, on the enemy's side, was dismounted ; every brace line had been shot away, and the vessel had become unmanage- able.
