1822008040Washington D.C.: <i>The National Intelligencer</i> 1822. Newspaper. Very Good. <br /><br />A complete four-page newspaper of 5 December 1822 recounts the battle between the American Schooner USS Alligator commanded by Lieutenant William Howard Allen of the West Indies Squadron and three pirate ships probably commanded by Diabolito off the coast of Cuba on 9 November 1822. It occupies over 18" of front page column space and has a large capitalized headline.The paper is toned but supple; generally clean with some staining at the upper right. The spine appears to have been neatly mended. The paper reports details of the encounter. <br /><br />At the time of battle the pirate force had in its possession five US merchant vessels. The <i>USS Alligator</i> although out-gunned and out-manned had an experienced crew which recently captured another pirate ship after a bloody battle and its commander Lt. Allen had previously commanded the <i>USS Argus</i> when it engaged the <i>HMS Pelican</i> during the War of 1812. <br /><br />Allen and his crew manned launches from the <i>Alligator</i> in an attempt to board the principal pirate vessel the <i>Revenge</i> which fired upon the Americans with grape and roundshot. Rather than attempt to fight off the boarding party the pirates abandoned the <i>Revenge</i> and fled to their other two ships. <br /><br />As Allen turned his boats to continue the attack they came under withering fire from the pirates. In an attempt to rally his men Allen stood up and was cut down by musket fire. The two remaining pirate ships fled the battle during the resulting confusion leaving the pirate ship <i>Revenge</i> and the five merchant ships with the <i>Alligator</i>. <br /><br />Allen became an immediate naval hero and his name was used as a rallying cry a year later when the Navy defeated another pirate force and killed its leader Diabolito in the same area. <br /><br /> The National Intelligencer books
