This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III MATUBITY When peace was declared, Paulding joined the frigate Constellation in the squadron of Commodore Decatur, fitting out to demand redress of the Barbary powers, and in June, 1815, participated in the capture of the Algerine vessels Mashoudah and Estidio. So great was the terror of Decatur's name and the prestige won by our Navy in the war with Great Britain that all grievances were promptly redressed. In 1816 Paulding was made lieutenant and served on the Independence for a time, then made a cruise on our coast in the brig Prometheus. In the summer of 1818 he joined the frigate Macedonian and made a three years' cruise in the Pacific Ocean. In 1821, the cruise being over, he took a leave of absence and, realizing his deficiency in certain branches of education, spent eighteen months in hard study at Norwich in the military academy of Captain Partridge, which has since helped to equip many of our naval officers.1 Finding after a time that his health suffered from too close application to study, he spent some months in the disguise of a sailor in a rigging loft in Boston where Mr. McClellan superintended the rigging of ships. This work and some surveying of the Navy Yard of Boston and vicinity, although it could hardly be called rest, enabled him to return to his duties invigorated. Long years after, a gray- haired, vigorous man came to see him at his home. He said that when a young fellow he had been carpenter on the Macedonian, where Mr. Paulding was lieutenant. Three or four years later, being in Boston and going to McClellan's rigging loft on business, he was astounded to see the Lieutenant in sailor dress working with the others. ''Mr. Paulding!" he exclaimed. "I beg your pardon," rejoined his former shipmate, "Mr. Brown, if you please." But the di...<
