A Gallant Act.

A petty officer was carried off the
field of Antietam with bullet In his
hip. When at last the surgeons
reached him and made an examination
they informed him that very severe
operation must be performed to give
him q chance to live. What are the
chances for living if you perform the
operation?" he asked. Not more than
one in ten," was the reply. Said he:
Il will take the tenth chance. I would
not give filbert for the other nine"
The commander of that English man
of-war CalIiOpe must be of that same
kind of stuff. When four of his five
anchor-chains snapped, he determined
at once upon heroic remedy; either
to work there, or go on the, reefs try
ing. He knew that all would be lost
if he failed; that the chances of Sue
cess were not more than one in ten,
but he determined to take the tenth
chance. So he fought it out on that
line. The seas boarded his ship over
and over again in vain attempt to
beat it to pieces, but the machinery
did not fail him, his own stout heart
did not fail him, and he made the
open sea. Once outside he was in
the very vortex of the storm, but he
held his ship up into it and let it beat
upon him and he triumphed. He had
plenty of coal and his fires lighted
and knew his ship. and SO he played
for victory and won. His choice was
literally between the ID and the
deep sea" and he determined to reach
the latter, if he could, and succeeded.
He was prepared, while the Others
were not, but it required more nerve
to do what he did than it would to
fight half a dozen battles. England
keeps up her ancient record on the
sea.
