He captured the Meshouda, 46 guns, and forced treaties at Algiers and at Tripoli. Returning to America, he was appointed to serve with Commodores Rogers and Porter on the board of naval commissioners. He was killed in a duel with Commodore James Barren, March 1820.
Decatur possessed from boyhood a "love of the sea. " This was recognized at the age of 8 years. It is said to have led him to oppose his mother's wish that he should become a priest and induced Commodore Barry to appoint him mid- shi...pman. He was, throughout life, averse to anything sedentary. His father and father's father were seamen. Little is known about the family of his mother, Anna Pine, who is said to have been the daughter of an "Irish gentleman. " Decatur had a fighting instinct that could be completely set into action. As a child his nature was considered fiery. His undertaking to burn the Phila- delphia was a desperate one which succeeded by its pure audacity. When the President was discovered and chased by the British fleet he fought the swiftest of his opponents until she was helpless, until 24 on his ship were killed and 55 wounded, and until he was surrounded by three fresh, powerful enemy vessels.
