" I must beg to relate a trifling anecdote of one cf my men, the Captain of the Forecastle, as it will serve to shew the enthusiasm of a. British Seaman when flghting with the Enemies of his Country. ft We had passed through the Line, and bad assist ed in disabling and silencing the French Admiral's Ship, and the Four-decker, the SantissirnaTrinidada; but were much galled by a distant cannonade from a separated few of the Enemy's Ships : at last the St. dugustin, of 74 guns, bearing the Pendant of Cofnmodore C.tolnAt, gave us an opportunity of closing with him, which wasimmediately'ernbraced, and he was soon taken. While this was doing, a shot took off the arm of TuomAs MAIN, when at his gun at the Forecastle. His messmates kindly of fered to assist Mtn in gat to° the Surgeon ; but h,. bluntly told them, i` I thank you ; stay where you are ; you will do more good there." ,He then went down by himself to the Cockpit. " The Surgeon, who respeaed him -as a good man, willingly would have attended to him in pre ference to others who had beep brought down a few moments before ; but this brave Seaman would not adinit of it, saying, "avast, nc^t until it comes to my turn, if you please." , The Surgeon soon after amputated the arm, near the shoulder ; during whisk operation, with great composure, smiling, and with a steady clear voice, he sang the whole of )?ede Britannia. " cheerfulness of this tough Son ofNeptnte was of infinite use hi keeping up the spirits of his wounded shipmate, ; but, lam sorry to tnforxn you, this fine fellow died in Gibraltar Hospital ofa fever, when his arm was nearly well." A dramatic tribute to the memory has been written by of the immortal' NELSON the prompt and pa triotic pen of Mr. CUNIBERLANO, and is very soon to be brought forward at Covent Garden Theatie. According to report, it is by no means unworthy of the Author's high reputation, and will receive ail suitable support from the liberal spirit of the Pro prietors.
