Captain West was man OF very marked
traits of character. and yet IN his heart he
was as gentle as a child. He was never
married, and vet his love for children was
so strong that he was always delighted IN
their company. and was happiest when
contributing to their pleasure and enjoy
ment. He had tender spot in his heart
for the old Confederate sailors and SOL
dlers, and a great big charity he showed
towards all in distress His acts of kind
ness and relief were innumerable and dono
in way that even those who were the
benefciaries were frequently ignorant as
to the identity Of their benefactor. Cap
tain West was modest and sensitive almost
to q fault He was ostentatious about
nothing. Yet he was man of the noblest
feelings of the most generous impulses,
and of inexhaustible humor.
