They were both buried at Halifax with the honors of war. Soon after, Capt. Crowninshield of Salem volunteered to bring them home at his own expense; they were entombed at Salem with great parade, a eulogy being delivered on the occasion by Judge Story. They were afterwards removed to New York, where a monument was erected to their memory, in Trinity churchyard. For a few minutes at the commencement of the action, the fire of the Shannon was vigorously returned by the Chesapeake, though she did not fire a gun till fairly alongside, when she poured in a broadside that sounded like one report. But Capt.

I invited one son to come and live with me: time passed on until we had been married fifty-three years. She was taken sick, and, alas, she died.
