On his breast is a shield bearing Ll3 -bears and in his beak is a, ribbon bearing th motto . with 13 letters ; each wing has 13 feathers and it takes 13 letters to spell quarter dol lar. There are 13 letters in John Paul Jones' name. ' There were 13 ships in the first American navy. Perr's victory on Lake Erie was won on the 13th o tbe xnocith.
