But on Lake Ontario the naval events, though in no case comparable with Perry's famous victory, were numerous and noteworthy. In our previous discussion of the progress of the war upon Lake Ontario, we left Commodore Chauncey in winter quarter at Sackett's Harbor, building new ships, and making vigorous efforts to secure sailors to man them.
Now, if you nominate Governor Black and I am addressing a large audience and I certainly will the heckler in the audience will arise and interrupt me, saying: 'Chauncey, we agree with what you say about the Grand Old Party and all that, but how about the Canal steal? I have to explain that the amount stolen was only a million, and that would be fatal.
I wanted Chauncey to tell you. All last week I tried to get a woman, or a man, to come and help me clear out that place, but just as soon as they find out what's wanted 'You'll have to get somebody else for that job, they say." "What is the matter with them?" "It's the room, Mrs. Bogardus; if I was you I'm doing now just as I'd be done by I would not take Mrs.
"Why, you loon, I should say not!" said Lem, backing off. "Oh, be a sport, Lem, and let me see the fun!" cried Chauncey. But Lem refused to be obliging.

On this occasion he saw three of the enemy's squadron, which, though superior in force, took no notice of him.

Jethro saw this thing coming about a year ago, and he took the precaution to have Chauncey Weed and the rest of the Committee in his pocket and of course Heth Sutton's always been there."

"She was built," added Chauncey, "in the short time of forty-five days; and nine weeks ago the timber that she is composed of was growing in the forest."
"We's got der small-pox, and am a-killing de gemmens " "Pen!" cried a man's voice through the smoke a deep, melodious voice. "What!" exclaimed Aunt Pen, starting up, and then pausing as if she fancied the horrid fumes might have befogged her brain. "Pen!" the voice cried again. "Chauncey! Chauncey Read!" she shrieked.
