196 Digitized by Google ••DONT GIVE UP THE SHIP!** 127 The British battleship arrived so suddenly that Captain Lawrence was compelled to dodge and flee in the darkness. By a close shave he gained the open sea and made off up the coast. For several weeks the Hornet idled to and fro, vainly seeking merchant prizes, and then off the Dem^rara River on February 24, 181S, she fell in with the Brit- ish brig Peacock, that flew the royal ensign. The affair lasted no more than fifteen minutes. The Peaco...ck was famous for shining brass work, spot- less paint, and the immaculate trimness of a yacht, but her gunnery had been neglected, for which rea- son she went to the bottom in six fathoms of water with shot-holes in her hull and thirty-seven of her crew put out of action. The sting of the Hornet had been prompt and fatal. Captain Lawrence had only one man killed and two woimded, and his ship was as good as ever. Crowding his prisoners on board and being short of provisions and water, he set sail for a home port and anchored in New York harbor.
