Like the historic "can "cannonade - nonade "cannonade of Valm.y," lt meant far more than the viotory itself. The vlotory was apparently only tho beating off of Sir Peter Parker's lleet, with a loss of 12 men killed and twice as many wounded; but it meant far more than this.

"The story of the little yet great battle is well known to most of us; but one or two features of lt may be recalled with profit.

Clinton planned to break up the de defense - fense defense of the colonies by attacking Charleston, compelling the withdrawal of troops for defense from the north This plan was defeated by tho repulse of Slr Peter Parker, friend and patron ships hammered at tno palmetto log fort on Sullivan's Island, which guarded the harbor, the British army was on Long Island, now the Isle of Palms, and unable to cross the inter intervening - vening intervening channel.

Ever since Jasper sprai , from thc walls, regained thc Hag, and again Moated it above unconquerable American valor, "many a heart has danced to see that emblem lu thc sky." It was characteristic and flt ting that the hero, though risking lifo in a hundred other hazardous enterprises, should have fallen on the walls of Savannah, more than two years later, while while planting his regimental colors on the parapet. "One other suggestion. The heroic defense of Fort Moultrie in 1770 foreshadowed tho still wore heroic and more brilliantly successful de fenso of Fort Sumter in the same harbor, by descendants of tho Revo lutionary horoos. And Jasper's gal lant aot foreshadowed the still more gallant acts of tho soldiers who re planted the Confederate flag out down by hostile shot a dozen times. "These great unsurpassed heroisms forever honor tho State. They arc sutllolent in themselves to give the State a fair immortality.
