[31] The British accounts were often so inaccurate and garbled, and in James’s “Naval History” so frequently glaringly untrue that only little dependence, in some instances, can be placed upon them. For a discussion of this phase, see Roosevelt’s “Naval War of 1812” passim. Part of this account is condensed from this latter. [32] Roosevelt, 129.

[46] Not so young, however, as was, when appointed midshipman, an admiral under whom the author served in 1865, S. W. Godon. He told me that he was appointed at so early an age that for some years he was taken by a servant on quarter day to the navy yard to draw his pay. [47] Spears, 112.

Timby, who took out a patent in 1841 and received a royalty of $5,000 for each turret built by Ericsson.
