But a little wiille after the Columbia and the Independence had crossed the Constitution showejl her haughty disregard of the pair by proceeding on the starboard tack with $ little Jib topsail defiantly shaking Its luff at everything afloat, then going about and crossing the bows of her opponents and when satisfied with the lead she had obtained tacking and occupying a commanding berth to windward and a lead which she maintained to the end of the race.
