The loss on the British side, proportionately, largely exceeded that on the American. The Kentucky riflemen in the masts of Perry's vessels shot down every man that was visible, and the battle being at close range, the guns on the American ships being adapted to that service, the deaths among the officers and men on the British ships were nearly twice as great as that of those under Perry.
From the deck of one of his ships, the "Lawrence, " Perry sent the celebrated dispatch to General W. H. Ha...rrison, then at Portage, which included the famous fine, "We have met the enemy and they are ours. " While in command of the "John Adams, " another United States vessel in the West Indies, he was attacked by yellow fever, and died on the 23d of August, the anniversary of his birth.
Rhode Island and Ohio both honored him with monu- ments, and the State of Ohio has placed in the Capitol at Washington a picture of the battle of Lake Erie and of Perry leaving the "Lawrence" for the "Niagara. " Leaving the ships, he cheerfully went with Harrison and Shelby in their pursuit of Proctor, and as an aide rendered valuable service in the battle of the Thames.
