Ship and cargo total loss Crew saved.
"THE REsoLUTB."- We'll, we have been
invaded by Jonathan, and all of US English
ers taken prisoners. Captain Hartstein and
his joival, gallant crew, have carried away
the best part Of the Britshers-their hearts.
We have struck to the generosity Of the Stars
anC Stripes, and only pant with feeling to
avenge ourselves by the best and greatest act
OF gratitude that destiny may yet have in store
for us. The Resolute, waif and stray
amidst mountainous icebergs, rubbed and
barked, and little nipped, were picked up by
American hands, carried into an American
port, and forthwith locked in an American
dock, to be returned by son Jonathan to daddy
John, as spick and span as when she first
turned her bows from her English home for
Arctic seas. There was fue music going on
whilst the Resolute lay in the American dock.
Every blow of the shipwright's hammer
struck note of lasting peace between the
two countries.
Yankee Doodle and God Save the Queen
were sounded by that harmonious iron. 1t
would take very many Of the braesy tongues
OF the Mitchells and the Meaghers- Irishmen
melodiously rancous with the wrongs of 'the
first Hover and "the first gem Ito drown
the recollection of those sweet sounds in the
memory of Eaglishmen. Captain Hartstein,
in his manly, salor-like speech-with the
smack of the true salt in it-hoped that the
old timbers Of the Resolute would float for
many day. sure we are that they will float
with still enduring strength, none the worse
but all the better, for the bit of timber grown
on the soil of America, that may here and
there be found in her English carcase. Sweet,
anu eSpcClhliy HdBidhI WIS pltcn thdt newly
caulked her-ptch tapped from American
pines.
Captain Hartstein has departed, and is now
on the Atlantic. Our regret is that he could
not have been brought face to face with all
England; that every Engishman could not
have a grip of his sailor hand. This was not
to be, but-we give the hint to the Lords Of
the Admirality-why not, as further perpet-
uation of the memory of the gallant fellows
mission, why not christen the English ship
launehed-1he Hartstein Further, we know
not whether we would not lengthen the name
Of the Resolute into the Resolute Jonathan /;
or, we are not particular, to the Jonathan Res
olute. In those suggestions Punch has done
his duty; let the Lords Of the Admiralty imi-
tate Punch. Punch.
