Excerpt from The Story of Our Navy, Vol. 2: From Colonial Days to the Present Time Some work had already been done by the navy on the coast. Captain Sloat, who preceded Stockton in command, had seized Monterey, taken possession of San Francisco Bay and the surrounding country, and garrisoned Sutter's Fort on the Sacramento River. When Stockton arrived all seaports, of which there are few on the California coast, were in control of the United States navy. His operations, therefore, were conducted inland, and his sailors fought far from the ships. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Naval History of the United States, Vol. 2 Soon after this occurrence, a large party from Cockburn's fleet landed at Havre deg Grace, and, having driven away the few militia, captured and burned the town. Having accomplished this exploit, the marauders continued their way up the bay, and turning up into the Sassafras River ravaged the country on both sides of the little stream. After spreading distress far and wide over the beautiful country that borders Chesapeake Bay, the vandals returned to their ships, boasting that they had despoiled the Americans of at least seventy thousand dollars, and injured them to the amount of ten times that sum.

Excerpt from The History of the Navy of the United States of America, Vol. 2 of 2 The government soon became aware of the necessity of possessing some light cruisers, which arc to a marine, what the eyes and nerves are to the physical formation of man. Without vessels of this character, a commander could never conduct a vigorous blockade, like that required before Tripoli, in particular; and a law passed February 1803, authorising the construction of two brigs and two schooners. In the course of the spring of that year, these vessels were built, and the navy received an addition to its list, of the Argus 10, Siren 10, Nautilus 12, and Vixen 12. The two former were beautiful and very efficient brigs, mounting 16 twenty-four-pound carronades, and 2 long twelves; and the two latter were schooners, carrying 12 eighteen-pound carronades, and 2 light long guns, each. They were all finely modelled and serviceable vessels of their size, and arc now intimately associated with the early traditions of the navy.

When the ebb tide made, the brigade returned, the Constellation's boat quitting them only when they had got below the frigate. Shortly after, the fortifications being sufficiently advanced, and block ships being ready for sinking in the channel, the Constellation was carried up again to a place of security. About this time Capt. Stewart was transferred to the command of the Constitution 44, and Capt. Tarbell received a temporary appointment to the Constellation, though, the enemy always maintaining a strong force in the waters of the Chesapeake, the ship continued to be blockaded until the peace. The Chesapeake, lying at Boston, had less difficulty in getting to sea, for the enemy did not keep any force'before that port, during the first few months of the war; most probably under the false impression that such was the disaffection of the eastern states, that it would virtually be annoying friends. She sailed at the close of February 181, under the orders of Capt. Evans, and passing by the Canary Isles and the Cape de Verds, she crossed the equator, and remained for six weeks near the line. She then made the coast of South America, passed the spot where the Hornet sunk the Peacock, the day after that action had occurred, and went through the West Indies, and along the American.coast, to the port from which she had sailed. During this long run, Capt. Evans saw but three men-ofwar, a ship of the line and a frigate, near the Western Islands, and a sloop-of-war, off the Capes of Virginia. The latter escaped in the night, after a chase of two days. The Chesapeake captured four merchant vessels. which was repeated to them, by the next flag that went down. The English officers confessed that the vigilance of the...
