The dispatches from Alexandria enlarge
upon tho wonderful devotion and extraordinary
bravery of tho gunner board onn Of the British
vessels, who picked up shell with burning fuse
and Immersed II In a bucket of water. This was a
courageous act hut 1t was not ''more gallant than
anything Of that sort ever before chrOniced. Dur
Ing our own war for the Union hundreds of cases as
deserving of mention occurred.
At Stone River, when CrOfi's brigade of Palmer
division was pursuing the routed rebels tho I'd of
January, they came suddenly on n reserve battery
that opened ON them with surprising fury. The men
were ordered 10 liU down. and dropped In tho soft
mud OF "a cornhcld Tho rebel artilorymen had tho
range, however, and poured shot and shell into tho
advance line In way that tore some unfortunates In
pieces and covered nearly every one with mud In
the midst of the terrific fusadO shell struck
two men lying Hat on tho ground near To their
heads as to stun both. Dozens of men, the brayest
there, closed their eyes In anticipation the terrible
scene that wOnld follow the explosion. But one of
the soldiers ut whose shoulder the smoking shell had
struck, digging up handful OF mud. held II alOft FOR
moment while lac said coolly: ''Ten to one boys,
she don't bust, ~ and then with sort OF gleeful
agility he brought the great wad Of mud down on the
shell smoking Ia tho shallow hole, and ''sha diln' /
bust No one thought George Hunt, of Company
q, Flrs Kentucky Infantry, hero for doing that,
but possibly ho ranked as high as the courageous gun
on the Alexandra.
Another case: When sherman was getting ready
for his move on Atlanta great quantities Of amunl-
tiOn stored In the railroad sheds at Rcsaca one
day, ia the midst Of thunder storm that dlslnanted
the camp, tho ammunition building was struck by
lightning. Hundreds OF tho brayest soldiers ran
blndly away as they saw tho boxes Of she'll thrown
about, saw tho guards drop as II shot and smoke
Issuing from the top OF tho great pile OF explosives
But one man, clear-eyed and cOOl-headed, saw that
the smoke came from tow In which tho shells were
packed and, climbing To the top seized the burning
mass, ana holding 1t up shOuted IAN right boys;
no fireworks this tme,' His intIepldity and alert
ness saved the ammunition and possibly many lives
aud his record should pa kept rs green as that at the
gallant gunner Of tho Alexandra, -chicdgo Eter-
ocean.
