Capt.Livermore, the chaplain of the Chesapeake, who had cruised long with Lawrence, and bitterly rocky intertidal zone mourned the captain's fate.The boarders were slow in coming up, and but twenty men followed Broke as he climbed to the deck of the Chesapeake.Nor rocky intertidal zone did he desire to avoid the battle thus offered.Broke sprang forward, and dealt a mighty stroke of his keen cutlass at the chaplain's head, who saved himself by taking the blow on his arm.A huge column of water, gleaming with a ghostly sulphurous light, was thrown high in the air, falling with terrific force on the deck of the rocky intertidal zone frigate, which was almost capsized by the shock.Unfortunately for the American cause, this much dreaded vessel did not get into the water in time to take any active part in the war.Midshipmen and lieutenants ran about the ship, striving to call up the rocky intertidal zone boarders by word of mouth.With this force under his command, Decatur burned with the desire to get to sea.With these words on his lips, he was carried to the rocky intertidal zone wardroom.
