>Invictus Gallus Gladiator, "Invincible Fighting Cock"
>On the morning of 11 September, when Commodore George Downie led the British squadron around Cumberland Head, MacDonough was ready. As British brig, Linnet, approached firing range, she opened the action with a salvo toward Saratoga(1814). All but one of the projectiles fell short; and that solid shot was all but spent as it landed on the American corvette, bounced across her deck, and smashed a wooden poultry cage freeing a gamecock. The indignant rooster took to his wings and landed in the rigging. Facing the British warships, the cock defiantly called out challenge to battle.

what an amusing anecdote

Sara!
