Peter Warren, no less! After he came home from Louisbourg, the city of New York was so well pleased with him that the council voted him some extra land,--which he really did not need in the least, having plenty already.
At least one more exploit was to be added to the wreath of Peter Warren's brave enterprises in behalf of his King and country.

In 1747 the French again became troublesome.

A fleet of French men-of-war under one La Jonquiere, an able commander, was ordered to go and retake Louisbourg,--that, at least, among other things.Sir.

Peter went to join the English commander, Anson, off Cape Finisterre,--( the "End of the Earth") and acquitted himself there so gallantly and effectively that again his country rang with praise of him,--his country which then lay on two sides of the sea.

America's pride in him is shown by some of the comments in the New York press, after he had so brilliantly helped in the capture of La Jonquiere's ships.
