I It was in 1814 that this anthem was Inspired, the middle of Sep- V tember,, during the unforgettable bombardment of Fort McHenry by the' English army, auguniented, as ft was, by continental riff-raff brought oyer on the powerful British fleet. r I The fleet had come lor the pur pose of destroying the large num ber of -American privateers which Sad been sallying forth from the waters of Chesapeake Bay and i . raiding British; ships. Altogether the enemy possessed sixteen ships, everyone of which, after Washing ton ; had been thoroughly. ransack ed, concentrating : its fire 6n the low little fortification from Whose flagpole . was" flying the ' ;'Star Spangled. Bannerl t" f ..;' At this critical time, Francis Scott Key,? a Georgetown lawyer, was being detained on a small! ves sel, the Minden, amongst the Brit ish ships. - Because of fear that he might reveal information about the plans that were being made to advance on Baltimore, MrJ Key was simply taken along with the British fleet to be held until frfter the bombardment, j; .As the battle eontiued,-Mr. Key became more and more torn jwith J anxiety: for, the safety of the ;flag. In the morning there, is unimagin able relief to see that not the Brit ish ;flag, but the; tcreat American banner stili waves;-': j 5; "Completely Inspired, " 'Francis Scott Key took and'old enVelop he found in his pocket, and on the back of it wrote the words of the song of which all this is the story. It commemorates a historic! vic tory in arms -when the nation in early "you fh was fighting for its existence, arajnst a strong! and powerful foe that hid invaded, our shores.
