On tlw ev ·ning of Se te1nber 13~ 1814, during our second war ''vith England, a British fleet under the command of Admiral Cochrane ' '"a anchored in Chesapeake Ba . dmiral Cochrane had been sent to silence Fort McH enry and. take Baltimore, but the frowning auns of the fort had stopped the English squadron ~ vera! mile a~\a . ,/ T he B.riti h army, under the command of General Ross, was advancing by land upon the city, while the fleet launched a heavy bombardment on Fott :McHenry. General Ross had boasfed that his a~my would winter. in Baltini.ote, even if it rained militia, but he had .miscalculated the trength of the fort and the determined . . resi tar~_ce of the American people. _ . During ·a pre ious engagement in upper Marlbo:r- · ough, 1Vfaryland, the Br i tish army had captured a Dr. Beane and sent l1irn as a prisoner of war to Admiral Cochrane's flagship, the SURPRISE. .Francis Scott Key. a young lawyer of Baltimore, learning that his f-riend Dr. Beanes was prisoner on the British flagship,. had gone on -board seeking in a semjofficial capacity, the re1ea&e of Dr. Beanes. Th.e British Admiral rearing a po sible disclosure of hi pla.ru, it is said, detained Key and Dr. B anes throughout the day and night of Ser:;)temb :r 13, on , a v~ssel that "lay at anchor" in a safe spot, but within view of the operations against the fort.
