Paul Jones commanding, at Quiberon Bay, France, Feb- ruary 14, 1778. The salute was given by Admiral La Motte, representing the French government. ^The first vessel over which the Union flag floated was the ship Ranger, built at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, whose gal- lant commander was the famous Paul Jones. Its first trip around the world was on the ship Columbia, which left Boston September 30, 1787, commanded by Cap- tains Ke^iclrick and Gray. It was three years then in circling the globe. To...-day it waves in every clime, on every sea. It is pleasing to note how Franklin, when minister to France, secured the ship Doria from the French and gave to Paul Jones the command, who immediately renamed the old ship "Bon homme Richard, " in honor of Franklin. ORIGIN OF "OLD GLORY. " The term Old Glory is said to have been originated by an old sailor Stephen Driver. While upon the seas he performed an act of bravery for which he was rewarded by the gift of an American flag, where- upon he pledged its givers to always defend it faithfully.
