in that seaport, and several of them arc living
there now, They have supplied the ssrdinan
naval service with excellent seamen, and have
invariably enjoyed public estimation.

ors and fishermen, was indebted 10 this rude
apprenticeship of life for a part of his physical
and moral energy Already at that time the
child was seen to possess most of the qualities
since developed in the man Adventurous and
brave, he displayed in his intercourse with his
comrades an extraordinary energy. To games
as well as to work he brought strange ardor,
