Later, the details of tho event beeame generally kuown In the streets and formed a frequent tople of conversation. Personal snccdotes, reminisconces, ete., of the deceased were freely exehenged, aod tho various eplsodes in the Com= modore's long and oventfal cdrecr were can- vassed with more than ordinary interest. To the younger generation he waslittle known ex- cept by reputation. But few wera to b found, even {n the theatrs of his most famous exploite, who were personally Intimato with him.
