HISTORIC SWORDS
A Pair That Did Duty at the Bat

ENEMIES IN THAT CONFLICT.

MiiuchuMtti H utoricsl Society
Building ? A Legacy From the Hi*
torian Pretcott and Hit Wife.
The moot Impressive memorial* of
the battle of Hunker Hill ore the huge
?haft over In Charlestown and a pair
of awords which hang crossed like a
pair of clasped hand* over the door of
the building of the Massachusetts His
I torlcnl society,
i Both these sword* were used In the
! heroic duel of June 17. 177!S. the one by
| the commander of the patriot forces.
! the other by the captain of one of the
| British war vessel* which bombarded
| Charlestown and protected the cross
Ing of the English troops. And for
many years those swords, which had
not been beaten Into plowshares after
the Scriptural prophecy, but which had
become the symbols of peace neverthe
less, hung upon tbe wall of a great
American historian whose father was
the son of the American commander
and whose wife was the granddangh
ter of the British captain.
It was to these weapons that Thack
ersy referred In the eery tlrst pnra
graph Of his novel "The Virginians,
which reads thus:
"On the lll>rarv wall of one of the
most famous writers of America then
hang two crossed swords, which hi*
relatives wore In the great War of In
dependence The one sword was cal
lantly drawn In the service of the
king, and the other was the weai*>n of
the brave and honored republican sol
dler. The possessor of the harmless
trophy has earned for himself a name
alike honored In his ancestors' country
and his own. where genius such a* hi*
has alwnv* a |>eaoeful welcome."
William Hlckllng I'rescott, author of
"The Conquest of Mexico." "Ferdinand
and Isabella." and other fascinating
histories, the grandson In his paternal
line of Colonel William I'rescott. who
held the hill against the British grena
dlers and gave the world the first taste
of the valor of the Continentals and
whose wife was the granddaughter of
Captain John t.ln*ee of the nival navy,
who commanded the sloop of war Fal
con during the battle, was the writer
to whom Thackeray referred
The only *on of Colonel I'rescott or
Bunker Hill, named for his father, was
bom thirteen year* before the battle
was fought In Chnrlestown This sop
wns educated at Harvard, graduating
with the class of 17*3. Admitted to the
bar In 1787, he beceme eminent in his
profession and accumulated * fortvne
HI* wife was Catherine Creen Hlck
llng. the daughter of a Boston mer
chant who was afterward consul In the
A tores. The future historian was their
?on
Captain John Llntee on that April
day In 177R wa* charged with tbe duty
of cannouadlng the rebels and cover
ing the pas>*ige of the British soldiers.
The British ships of war were moored
at various points in front of the
Charlestown peninsula.
Three years after the battle, on Aug
8. 1778. the Falcon was sunk off
Newport, R. I, to prevent It* capture
by the French fleet under Admiral
D'Estalng.
This Captain Llnr-ee's daughter. Han
nah IJntee. became the wife of one
of the leading merchant* of Boston.
Thomas C. Aroory. and It wa* tbe
daughter of Tbotnaa and Hannah
Amory. Susan Amory. whom William
H. Prescott married Tbn* the two
?words came Into the possession of one
family.
The historian hud a degree of pride
in bis ancestry and liked to discourse j
upon occasion about throe swords. In j
this rwpect he resembled Sir Walter !
Scott. The weapons used to hang over !
the recess of the great window In hi*
library used commonly as a recepOea
room, where they were the more c?m- !
splcuous because of the thousands ef
books, the busts and the pictures by
which they were surrounded. It was
from the room of the scholar that these
ancestral memorials were removed te
the quarters of the historical aarlety
That happened In this wise:
Ppon the death of the historian ft
was found that the thirteenth Item In
hla will read thus: '"The aword of
Colonel William Prescott. worn by
htm In the battle of Bunker Hill. I
(rive to the Massachusetts Historical
society aa a curiosity suitable to be
preserved among their collection*, and ,
the sword which belonged to my !
wife's grandfather. Captain l.tniee of j
the British royal navy, who command j
ed one of the enemy's ships dnring the
same battle. 1 give to my wife."
When William O. Gardiner on April
14. lSRR, sent a letter to Bobert C.
Wlnthrop, president of the Historical
society, formally conveying the Infor
matlon that the a words were to be
come the property of the Institution
he said aa to the Llnr.ee sword, "Mr*
Prescott and the other heirs of Cap
tain I.lncee nntte In requesting ma to
present at the same time in their be
half the a word of their ancestor also, j
that the two. enriched by all the mem
orlea which now belong to them, may j
still hang together on Ita walla."
The letter read, a cover waa re- j
moved from a packet on the officers' j
table, and there were the swords
crossed presumably aa they had bean
on the library wall and aa they are
today.? Boston Herald.
Courage Is resistance to fwr, mu
tarr of fear-not absence of fear.
