Revolution were not less decisive and glorious than those achieved
on land. John Paul Jones and the gallant tars who, under his
leadership, braved the dangers of the deep, and wrested from proud
Britain, once queen of the sea, that illustrious motto which may be
seen high on our banner beside the stars and stripes.'

"Captain Glazier made special mention of the naval engagement
between the Bon Homme Richard and the British man-of-war Serapis,
which took place in September, 1789. He described in glowing words
the fierce nature of that memorable contest, until the captain of
the Serapis, with his own hand, struck the flag of England to the
free stars and stripes of young America. Captain Glazier has

the fields of literature. He has a strong and melodious voice, a
gentlemanly address, and unassuming confidence. He was presented to
the audience by Commandant Kelly, of Post 15, 'Grand Army of the
Republic,' in a brief but eloquent speech. Captain Glazier will
start on his long ride to San Francisco, from the Revere House,
this morning, at 9.30, and will be accompanied to Bunker Hill and
thence to Brighton, by several distinguished members of the 'Grand
Army,' and other gentlemen, who wish the captain success on his
long journey."

individuals whom the fate of war and opportunity brought to the
front, and enshrined forever in the gallery of patriots. Bunker
Hill came in for especial notice, where 'many brave and noble men
gave up their lives.'...
