But without exception these schoolboys showed themselves to bo men size fighters and finally when It seemed that the attempt to capture the city of Tripoli must fell, unless the large number of enemy vessels which lay at anchor In tha harbor under the guna of the town should be destroyed, It was Somers who went to Preble with a daring scheme. His plan was to fit up as a firs ship the ketch. Intrepid, take it into tha harbor snd explode it among the Tripolitan fleet To make this floating "infernal machine" a success It was necessary to pour s hundred barrels of gunpowder Into her bold. Preble hesitated. Bnt Somers waa insistent and On the finally Preble consented. night of September 4, Somers, accompanied by two officers and ten picked men, took the Intrepid Into the harbor under the cover of darkness Outside; the remainder of the fleet were watching intently the black shadow of tba ketch as she crept In among the rocks Suddenly one of them cried ont "Look I See the light For a bright spot, like lantern, was seen to move across the Intrepids deck. The next moment a roar shook the harbor and rocked the ships at their moorings, a red glare illumined the sea and the Americana saw timbers snd sails of the Intrepid rise np in the burning air. The cause of the explosion is still s mystery. Whether Somers blew the ship up too soon or whether the powder was accidentally ignited has never been learned. The next morning thirteen blackened bodies floated ashore at Tripoli Not the slightest damage had been done to the Tripolitan ships or forts, so Somers' sacrifice bad been In vain.
