Rare Presence of Mind.

II knew a sea captain who died some
years ago who displayed great presence
of mind at most critical time,'' said
Henry S. Roberts Of Boston. His ship
had caught fire, and the passengers and
crew were compelled to take to the boats
in a hurry. The captain remained per-
fectly cool throughout all the confusion
and fright Of the embarkation, and at
last every one but himself was got safe
" into the boats. By the time he was
ready to follow the passengers were wild
with fear and excitement. Instead Of
hurrying down the ladder, the captain
called out to the sailors to hold on a
minute, and taking a cigar from his
pocket coolly bit the end Off and lighted
it with piece Of the burning rigging.
Then he descended with great delibera-
ton and gave the order to shove Off
How could you stop to light a cigar at
such moment?' he was afterward ask
ed by one Of the passengers. Because, ,
he answered, I saw that if did not do
something to divert your minds there
would likely be a panic and upset the
boats. The lighting Of cigar took but
moment and attracted the attention
Of everybody: You all forgot yourselves
in thinking about my curious behavior,
and we got safely away. ST Louis
