"Tis the star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!" Key was full of joy. He took an old letter from his pocket. The back of this letter had no writing on it. Here he wrote the song about the star-spangled banner. The British com-mand-er now let Key go ashore. When he got to Baltimore, he wrote out his song. He gave it to a friend.
Clark marched his little army round and round in such a way as to make it seem that he had many men with him. He wrote a fierce letter to the British com-mand-er. He behaved like a general with a large army. After some fighting, the British com-mand-er gave up. Clark's little army took the British fort. This brave action saved to our country the land that lies between the Ohio River and the Lakes.
It is carried in war when one side sends a message to the other. When Key got to the British ships, they were sailing to Bal-ti-more. They were going to try to take Bal-ti-more. The British com-mand-er would not let Key go back. He was afraid that he would let the Americans know where the ships were going. Key was kept a kind of prisoner while the ships attacked Bal-ti-more.
