A French naval commander of the first distinction; born in St. Malo, June 10, 1673; died in Paris, Sept, 27, 1736. In his "Memoirs", published surreptitiously in 1730, but with authority ten years later, he relates, with becoming modesty, the series of events which gave him such heroic proportions as a conqueror on the sea.
By Charles Dudley Warner
