The troops were seized with a panic which was

were covering our retreat. Our loss is .estima-

RS'A Frenchman resolved to be
rid of life, went q little before high
tide to post set up by the sea side.
He had provided himself with a
ladder, rope, pistol, bundle of
hatcher, and y vial of poison. AS
cending the ladder, he tied one end
of the rope to the post, and the
other end round his neck; then he
took the poison, set his clothes on
fire, put the muzzle Of the pistol to
his head, and kicked away the lad
der. In kicking down the ladder,
he sloped the pistol so that the ball
missed his head and cut through
the rope by which he was suspend
ed he fell into the sea, thus eXtin-
gushing the flames of his clothes,
and the sea water which he invol-
UNFAIRLY swallowed, counteracted
the poison, and thus in spite of his
precautions, he remained unhang-
ed, unshot, imprisoned, unburned
and undrowned.
