They put in at Newport to await a second expedition which was to follow them. Unhappily that section never came, but was caught at Brest by thirty-two British ships and there blockaded until the war was over. Meanwhile Clin ton with a naval force superior to that of Ternay blockaded the French in Newport, where they re mained the more contentedly as they knew nothing of the state of their fellows at Brest, but daily expected the arrival of the second fleet. Accordingly Rocham- beau was for the ...time of no more service than D Estaing had been a year before. Into this atmosphere of quiet, of lazy camps, silent cannon, and idle drills was suddenly thrown a bomb, the explosion of which stirred up the whole country side, struck Washington in one of his tenderest friend ships, roused the wrath of the nation to the fighting point, and cost the life of one of the brightest and most engaging youths that ever wore the British uniform.
