BRAVE MEN0F THE SEA
Caatalas Wka Stack Their Slak
lagr Skip Per
lake. Ths captain of the vessel shall be the
last to leave."
This heroic sentiment was vividly por
trayed a short while ago when Captain
Seal by of the ill-fated Kepublie refused to
leavs His ship till every man, woman, child
and member of his crew had been saved.
Tha last to leave'" It Is the law. unl
Wersally acknowledged at sea by officers
and men alike as the bssls of self-respect
and honor. Front it no captain Is exempt.
Una of tl.o bravest of these heroes wss
Chief Officer Pateraon of the British King
One day a couple of winters ago hs sailed
from New York under the command of
Captain O'Hagan. Great storms Impeded
the passage of the ship, and so stupendous
was the violence of ths wavea that they
stove in the bow plates, and before the
leakage waa discovered tons of water
rushed Into 'the hold. Captain O'Hagan
told his msn to shift ths cargo, but bar
rels and cases were hurtling this way and
that, and one of them, driving the captain
back against the wall, crushed his leg so
severely that ha had to be carried to ths
lifeboat.
For a brief spacs there was no captain.
Then Paterson took command. At a crit
ical moment his strong personsllty and
calm assurance saved the crew from panic.
Three boat a filled with sailors of the
British King, were launched In safety while
the new commander stood In silence on
the bridge. Lower and lower sank ths Ill
starred ship, and as it heaved and took
Ms final plungo Patterson blew a farewell
blast upon his whistle to the fast-depart
ing craw.
Quite different, but no less heroic, wss
the manner In which Captain Griffith of
tha Atlantic Transport Una steamship Mo
began faced death. Though it was scarcely
darker than twilight, he had run his vessel
on the rocks near the Needles in Ortober.
IS, and it was rspldly sinking Tha Isst
glimpse of Captain Griffith showed hlin
standing on the bridge ordering the boats
to be lowered In order to save his crew.
Heroic in desth, too, waa the captain of
the ollshlp Loodiana, which several years
ago was burned at sea. Before thinking of
his own safety hs saw every man of his
crew clesr of the doomed vessel and then
It was too late. Foot by foot hs was driven
forward by tha flames, till at last ha hung
over the bow. A tramp steamship came
up, but ths waters were too rough for the
lowering of the boats. Finally ths flames
compelled him to loosen his hold, and while
his ship burned fiercely on he was dsshed
Into tha angry seas beneath.
But still more dramatic was ths death of
Captain Deloncle of tha French liner La
Bourgogna, sunk in ths summer of U08.
As he stood ons night upon the bridge a
tall bark suddenly loomed out of tho dark
ness, and, dealing La Bourgogne a fat
blow, steamed hurriedly away. Tho men
on board went frantic in wild despair.
Deloncle stood calm amid ths tumuli.
Suddenly he abandoned himself to the dra
matic horror of the scene, and, seising the
whistle rope, sent Into the skies one long,
wild, wailing groan. It was Deloncle's last
salute.
Perhaps the noblest death of all was that
of Captain Craven of tha monitor Tecum
seh, at tha attack In August, UN, on Mo
bile. The ship was fat sinking; there waa
not a moment to be lost. At ths foot of
tha ladder leading to the manhole above,
the turret of safety, two men met Captain
Craven and his pilot. There would be time
for but cne to mount. The captain knew
It; the pilot knew it But there waa no
hesitation. With a smile. Captain Craven
stepped to one side.
"After you, pilot." he aald.
The man sprang up tha ladder, and his
life was saved; but the brave captain was
swept under and carried to il.slimillc by
ths cruel sea. London Answers,
