[5] The crew of this vessel mutinied, killed their officers, and ran the ship into a Spanish port, where she fell into the hands of the Spaniards, then at war with England. Large rewards were offered for these mutineers; many were taken, and all who were taken suffered the penalty of death (1797). [6] Narrative of the Life and Sufferings of William B. Lighton (an Englishman), a private in the 60th Regiment--the Rifles.--Troy, N. Y., 1846. He enlisted at 16, in 1820. [7] James Holmes, boatswain. [8] James, in his History of the British Navy, gives this name as Thomas James Nankivee. [9] Dennis Colwell. [10] The colors of the _Macedonian_ are preserved at the Naval Institute, Annapolis, Md. A number of her cannon are placed on the green near the Commandant’s quarters at the Brooklyn Navy Yard; and when she was broken up, many of her timbers were taken to City Island (now part of New York City), and used as the frame of a hotel still (1909) standing there. [11] The official report, from James’ _History of the British Navy_, of the _Macedonian’s_ casualties was: David Hope, First Lieutenant, wounded, leg and head; John Bulford, Third Lieutenant, wounded; Henry Roebuck, Master’s Mate, wounded; George Greenway, Midshipman, wounded; Francis Baker, “first-class volunteer,” wounded. Of the crew, 36 killed and 68 wounded, of whom two seamen died of wounds, and two boys had each one leg amputated. Nine Marines also were wounded. Aboard the _United States_: Second Lieutenant John M. Funck, mortally wounded; one seaman mortally wounded; five seamen badly wounded. (Unless the five all died, Captain Carden’s statement in his official despatch home, “I saw a lieutenant and six seamen thrown overboard,” was unfounded.) [12] John B. Nicholson. [13] The word “thus” should undoubtedly be placed before “the,” so as to make the line read: “and thus the flag of a frigate,” etc. The _Guerrière_ was the first frigate captured, the _Frolic_ (taken October 18) being a brig.--(ED.) [14] The first lieutenant of the _United States_, William H. Allen, took the _Macedonian_ to port. The list of the _United States’_ officers and their subsequent records follows: Captain Stephen Decatur, who was killed by Captain Barron in the historic duel, 1820. Lieutenant John B. Nicholson, who appears afterwards in this narrative as commander of the _Siren_, 1815, but whose name does not thus appear on the navy records. He was captain of the _United States_ in 1832, and died in 1846. This list has been compiled from various sources, but the Navy Department records show an additional midshipman, John J. McCaw, who resigned Feb. 23, 1818. Lieutenant William H. Allen, who became Commander of the _Argus_ in 1813, and was mortally wounded in the action with the _Pelican_ in the British Channel, August 14, 1813, and is buried at Plymouth, England. Lieutenant John M. Funck, mortally wounded, as before noted.
