Greenock, when a wealthy merchant
belonging to the town had the misfor-
tune to fall into the harbor. He was
no swimmer, and his death would have
been inevitable had not a sailor, who
happened to be passing at the time,
Immediately plunged in, and at the
risk of his own life rescued him from
his dangerous situation.

covering from his fright, put his hand
into his pocket and generously pre-
scented the sailor with a shilling =

scorn, entreated them to restrain their
clamor, "for," said he, "the gentle
man is Of course the best Judge of the
value of his own life"
