He reasoned that the British would not venture to pass up the lake and leave his fleet to harass them in the rear, and determined to anchor his vessels, await the attack of the British and fight his ships at anchor. Captain Downie's fleet slightly sur- passed that of Macdonough in number, tonnage, battery and men. Spear, in "The History of Our Navy, " says "the two leading British ships had as great a weight of metal in long guns as the whole Yankee squadron, gunboats and all.
