Three days after the dinner, Colonel
Allen was walking down Nassau street
with the colonel of the 47th and several
other officers, Colonel Ethan had become
great favorite, when coffin, borne up
on barrow by two negroes, approached,
with a solitary mourner behind. The lat
ter was dressed in the uniform of a West
India recrLit but he marched on erect,
without looking to either side-his glance
was on the coffin. 1t was Tom-the only
mourner that followed his brothers corpse.
Allen stopped and took off his three cor
nered hat. The British officers, without
inquiring the reason, did the same, and
the coffin passed by.
Allen related to the officers the story
of the two brothers. The next day Tom
was discharged from the British service,
by the intercession of the officers of the
47th. Not content with this, they raised
purse of 20 guineas, and sent him to his
home in Pennsylvania. A noble act !
Who can say, after this. that some kind
ness was not shown by the red coats
