Noah, His Life and Work From the Jewish Viewpoint Noah was left an orphan at an early age, and was apprenticed to a carver and guilder to learn his handicraft. He managed, however, to attend school for a few hours each day, and, being of a studious disposition, succeeded in educating him self'in all manner of learning. Among his class mates were Stephen Decatur and his brother John, of whom the former subsequently attained emi nent distinction for his services to his country in the American Navy. Years after Noah and Decatur were boys at school, at the time when the United States were conducting a war against the North African pirates, the two men met, Noah as the American Consul at Tunis, Algiers, and Stephen Decatur as Commodore of the fleet in those waters. While the squadron lay off Cape Carthage, the Consul of the United States was received by the heroic commander with the usual honors accorded by American representatives to each other when they meet in strange lands.
