And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

That little guy wrapped around the bow of the big boat? He had the right of way, if what I can see from the sails is true, because it looks like the ramming ship is on a port tack and was required to yield the right of way. Oddly enough the burdened vessel MUST yield the right of way and the master of the stand on vessel MUST hold course until near extremis.
