I remember to have seen a flag designed for one of them, on which was ex tremely well painted a large rattlesnake, rearing his crest and shaking his rattles, with this motto, Don't tread on me, but whether this device was generally adopted by the fleet, I am not able to say, - I rather think it was not.
