“... between the
now strongly allied nations, at that time
it spelled the end for “The Golden Rock.” Early the fol-
lowing year, February 3, 1781, the British Admiral, Rodney,
conquered St. Eustatius.
It may be appropriate at the end of this little story to
quote a paragraph from a letter written by John Adams in
acknowledging the early recognition (first after France) of
the United States by the Government of Holland:
“Your Republic, I am persuaded, will have no cause to
repent of the part she has taken in favor of America—and
may the friendship, correspondence and alliance between
the two Nations be perpetual.”
