Captain Gray returned by the way of the Cape of Good Hope^ and thus made the circuit of the globe, for the first time in the history of the Stars and Stripes. 1 Robert Gray first saw the light in the year 1755, in the town of Tiverton, Rhode Island. He was born in sight of the sea, and early in life its attractions having fascinated him, he engaged as a cabin boy, and thus began his sea-faring career which was destined to associate his name with two of the notable events in the history of the f...lag of his country. During the Revolutionary War he was an officer in the American navy. In 1794 he married into a Boston family, and made his home in Boston on Salem street. He died in Charleston, South Caro- liua, in 1806. AND OTHER AMERICAN FLAGS 141 John Hancock, then governor of Massachusetts, gave a dinner to the valiant captain, officers, and owners of the Columbia. After being on shore only seven weeks, Captain Gray sailed from Boston in the Columbia on the 28th of September, 1790, touching at the Falkland Islands, doubling Cape Horn in the favorable season, and reached Calyoquot, near the Straits of Juan de Fuca, on June 4, 1791.
