THE GRIP OF HONOR
THE GRIP OF HONOR
A Story of Paul Jones and the AmericanRevolution
BY
CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY
AUTHOR OF "FOR LOVE OF COUNTRY," "FOR THE FREEDOM
OF THE SEA," ETC.
The fear o' Hell's a hangman's whip
To haud the wretch in order;
But where ye feel your honor grip,
Let that aye be your border;
Its slightest touches, instant pause--
Debar a' side-pretences;
And resolutely keep its laws,
Uncaring consequences.
Burns

TO
COLONEL JOHN LEWIS GOOD, U. S. V.,
AND THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF
THE FIRST PENNSYLVANIA UNITED STATES VOLUNTEERS,
MY COMRADES IN THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR,
THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED.
Note
The interests of the story require some slight variations from exacthistory in the movements of the Serapis and the Bon Homme Richardbefore their famous battle, for which the author asks the indulgenceof the reader. In all other respects it is believed the account of thebattle is sufficiently accurate to present a true picture of the mostfamous single-ship action ever fought upon the seas.
