The fight of the brig Gen. Armstrong
was probably the moat desperate, fearftu
and romantic that evef took place
ocean. She was a little bftganti__ :f
only two ltundi-ed and fo^tV-six tons, be-
longing to New York, and earfiexi but
seven guns and ninety mens including
officers. She was commanded by a very
young officer, Capt. Sam. C. Reid, then
only thirty years of agft, wno had been
a midshipman under Commodore Trus-
ton. On the 26th of September, 1814,
the Armstrong put into tlie newtral port
of Fayal, belonging to Portugal, for the
purpose of obtaining water. Toward buh-
tfown the British brig-of-war Carnation,
of eighteen guns, h<rre in sight, stood up
the harbor, and anchored within half
a cable's length of the Armstrong. Soon
after, the frigate Rota, of forty-four gun&j
and the ship of the line Plantagenet, oij
seventy-four guns, came to anchor in
the roads. Admiral Lloyd, who com-
tna'nded the fleet, had previously been
informed by the pilot thai tho Arm-
strong was in the harbor, end lie at once
determined upou her capture. The brig
Carnation immediately began signaliz-
ing with the fleet, threw out four lavge
launches, or boats, and commenced pass-
ing arms into them. All the movements
could be seen and the orders given were
distinctly heard on board the Armstrong.
Capt. Reid immediately gave secret
ow!ers to clear the decks for action, and
cautioned the crew to make as little noise
as possible. He then cut his cable, got
out sweeps, and commenced pulling in
I shore to castle. The Carnation imine-
I diately dropped her top-sails and made
' sail, to prevent the privateer from going
j out of the harbor should she attempt- it,
; while the boats, which were lying along-
5 side, were ordered in chase of the Arm-
1 strong. It was now about eight o'clock
in the evening.
At this time one of the large launches,
which was considerably in th<o advance,
pulled up
atro«g, wl
trumpet in hand, being in his shirt-
sleeves, and all hands at quarters, hailed
the boat three limes. No answev was
returned except by «ne of the sailors,
who asked in a gruff voice what w»s the
matter. The officer replied, "Make no
1 answer, sir; pull away, tiiy lads." At the
; next moment the word was given to
I "boss oars," and with their boat-hooks
] they hauled alongside under the port
| quarter o'f the privateer. The officer in
, the boat then cried ost, "Fire am! board,
my lads,"4tnd as the men rose from their
; seats, Capt. Reid instantly gave the word
jto his marines to fire, which was almost
| simultaneous on tl>e part of both. One
man on board the privateer was instantly
killed, and the first lieutenant, Fred. A.
Worth, a brother of the late Gen. "Worth,
of the United States army, was wounded.
The men in the boat were severely cut
@p,and they called out for quarter, while
the other three boats, pulling up at full
'speed on the starboard side, immediately
opened their lire. They were received
with a full broadside of grape and canis-
ter, which was followed by the shrieks
and groans of the wounded and dying.
A tierce struggle now ensued, in which
the enemy made a desperstte attempt to
board; but staggered and appalled by
the galling fire Of the privateer, they
cried-out fbrqsuwter, and the boats pul led
off in -a sinking condition, with great
loss, Capt, Reid refusing to take them
prisoners.
The Gen. Armstrong then weighed
anchor and pulled in toward the «hore,

ant, Mr. Robert Johnson, also fell dan-
gerously wounded. At the same instant,
Capt. Reid, who commanded the afier!
division, was engaged in beating off two
large launches, the men and officers of
which had succeeded in climbing up the
