TOLL FOR THE BRAVE.

Even at a time like this, says the John, Bull, when, in
breathless suspense, our eyes are fixed upon the fair city
by the Seine, and when we are hardly able to listen to
anything but wars and rumours of wars, the sad news
first brought by Admiral Milne's telegram, but which,
alas, has been but too well confirmed by the feller report
which have since reached us, has, it is no exaggeration to
say, wrung the heart of England. No calamity which
has befallen our fleet has made so profound an impression
on the public mind since the fatal day

When Kempenfeldt went down
With twice four hundred men.

The narratives of the survivors are, indeed, intensely
interesting, and not their least interesting feature is-the
sketch which they give us of the readiness of resource and
marvellous presence of mind which sailors, and British
sailors above all others, are wont to exhibit in the midst
of the most appalling danger. Nor are they without
evidence of another characteristic of our English tars.
The unselfish courage and devotion of Captain
Burgoyne were worthy of a countryman of
Collingwood and of Nelson, and there are few
nobler things recorded in our naval history
than his declining his only chance of safety rather than
purchase it by the peril of others, when he rejected the
oar offered to him by one of the sailors in the launch cry-
ing " For God's sake, men, keep your oars, you will want
them." Instances such as these—the offer as well as the
refusal shew that our navy has not degenerated
into mere stokers, as is often said would be the case
with the general introduction of steam, and that
those who man the iron-clads of to-day are
as true-hearted seamen as those who manned our
wooden walls of yore. Though it was on no expedition
to uphold by arms the honour of their native land that
they met their death, but on a mere cruise by way of ex-
periment, those lost in the Captain did as truly and as
really die in the service of their country, as those who
perished at St. Vincent or Trafalgar.
