In the death OF Commodore Semmes the
country has lost one of those brave men who
discharge quietly, fully and unreservedly, that
which every naval officer owes to his country,
his duty. He belonged to the class OF men,
who enter the public service for life, and look
no further than the devotion OF their best work
10 the public. This he did with rare conscfeutS-
business and integrity. When executive officer
OF the navy yard At Pensacola, at the time our
dispute with Spain promised active service 90
our naval forces, with the prospect Of glory and
advancement, he chose To remain at the yard,
when ii lay under the scourge OF yellow fever.
and declined the command OF an ironclad. He
facing an enemy more terrible than war.
Touched, but not fatally, by the disease, he
never recovered from its effects. He was one
of the "old time" sailors graduate Of Annap-
oils academy before steam supplanted SAL, and
he became q master OF the science OF navtRa-
ton. BY nature he was a gentleman, and he
displayed IL i'm every relation of life, treating
with the same unvarying courtesy inferior and
superior During his long service, there was no
STAN on his record. and his associates and
friends ever recognized a certain gentle nobility
In his nature, which invited respect and re-
PEELED all ignoble things. During the war, he
held many and important commands, and be
acquitted himself with distinction I'm every
office, always exhibiting the qualities which in
dictate capacity 70 meet any emergency.
