Text Appearing Before Image:
day of the battle between the • United States and the Macedonian, the Constitution, now commanded by Captain Bainbridge, was making her final preparations at Boston to set sail on a cruise. On the next day, the 26th of October,all was ready; and the frigate, whose name was already endeared to Americans by the victory over the Guerriere, started forth to win for herself fresh renown. The sloop Hornet, under Capt. James Lawrence, sailed in company with the Constitution, and the two ships shaped their course for the coast of Brazil, where the Essex, under Captain Porter, was to meet them.

These were the British 38-gun frigate Java, under Capt. Henry Lambert, and an American merchantman, a prize of the Java. The Constitution stood for the strangers;but at eleven she tacked to the southward and eastward to draw the Java away from the coast, and also to separate her from the prize, which in the distance Captain Bainbridge. mistook fora ship-of-war. This course was kept up for some time, the Java, whi
