Text Appearing Before Image:
e enemy evinced no disposition to engage, the President gave her a shot to windward and hoisted colours—the seventy-four then bore up,and backed main top-sail when she had approached within gun shot. After mustering all hands aft,commodore Rodgers addressed them in a spirited and appropriate manner, and immediately gave orders to wear ship for the engagemenT;. While backing to meet the cutter, and take a pilot on board, the commodore was surprised to observe the enemy stand-ing off to the southward and eastward. A frigate and gun brig appearing in sight, he hauled in main and fore tacks and made for land. For the space of five hours the enemy had it at all times in his power to bring the president to action,and she lay in readiness with main top-sail aback and expecting him. Captain Lloyd who commanded the seventy-four,which proved to be the Plantagenet, states that hiscrew was in a state of mutiny, and gives this as a reason for declining an engagement with the President.

Text Appearing After Image:
IMAGE: President and Plantagenet (18 February 1814) 218 NAVAL BATTLES ESCAPE OF THE CONSTITUTION FROM THE TENEDOS AND ENDYMION On the 3d of April, 1814, the United States frig-ate Constitution, captain Stewart, arrived at Marblehead, having been chased in bj the British frigates Tenedos and Endymion, of thirty-eight gunseach, which had been in chase of her from daylight.The frigates, or one of them, it is said, got within two or three miles of the Constitution, at one time,and to effect her escape she was obliged to throw overboard her provisions, &c. and every thing move-able, and started all her water. Some prize goods were likewise thrown over. She immediately anchored above fort Sewall, in a posture of defence, her exposed situation rendering her liable to an attack, should she remain there long.In order to the protection of the frigate and the town,a number of heavy cannon were sent over from Sa-lem, and major general Hovey issued an order for the Marblehead battalion of artillery to hold itself in readiness to act. Commodore Bainbridge
