me Emperor was held prisoner He was
manshlp, as wei as for his writings He
was Commander OF the Bath" and an
oihcer Of the Legion Of Honor of the

portraits OF Captain Marryat. one a copy
Of that drawn by Count d'OrsaY and
one by William Behmes The original
OF the latter Is I'm the family collection.
This is the portrait which Is familiar ms
the irontlspiece In some Of the story
books OF Captain Marryat.
Mrs. Cough has also manuscripts Of
captain Marryat. The writing Is so etna 4
and fine that Il cannot be read by or
binary eyesight without the aid of a
magnifying glass. An inch OF manuscriDf
contains AS much writing as an ordinary
letter. No publisher ever undertook e.

tary constantly. who fewrote every ar

the Maryat family. Such thing had
never been heard of before. nor has IT
been granted since. But the Marryat wo-
