Naval battles of America; great and decisive contests on the sea from colonial times to the present, including our glorious victories at Manila and Santiago; . the West Indies was placed under hiscommand, and he flew a broad pennant on board OldIronsides in 1799, on the St. Domingo station. IsaacHull, as First Lieutenant, was Captain of the frigate, andother officers served under Talbots conimand who after-ward became famous on the rolls of fame. It was while Old Ironsides had Talbot for a com-mander that she captured her first prize. This vesselhad been the British packet Sandwich, and only waitedto complete a cargo of coffee to make a run for France.Capt. Talbot resolved to cut her out, and a force of sea-men and marines were placed on board an Americansloop and the command given to the gallant Hull. TheSandwich was lying with her broadside bearing on thechannel, with a battery to protect her. But so well wasthe movements of the sloop conducted that the Sandwichwas carried without the loss of a man. At the sametime Capt. Cormick landed with the marines and spikedthe guns of the battery. The Sandwich was stripped to a girtline, with all the. DEEDS OF VALOR. 297 gear stowed below; but before sunset she had royalyards across, her guns sealed, and the prize crew mus-tered at the guns. Soon after she was under way, beatout of the harbor and joined the frigate. Hull gainedgreat credit for the skill with which he had carried outthe object of the expedition, and at the time the affairmade quite a sensation among the various cruisers onthe West India station. Talbot was jealous of his rank and the dignity attachedto his station in the service. His courage, ability, anddevotion to his country were all beyond question. Aquestion arose relative to the seniority of rank betweenhimself and Commodore Truxton, in which the Secretaryof the Navy gave the preference to Truxton. This led the old veteran to tender his resiornation and o enjoy the fairly earned repose of honorable age.
