Not all the deeds of valor are done in
war, nor is the bravery inspired by mar
tial music and the smell of powder the
highest type of courage. The ten men
of La Champagne's crew who put forth
in an open boat in search of help dared
greater danger than soldiers in battle.
They were not sustained by the pres
ence and encouragement of thousands
OF comrades. They went out upon the
ocean alone to fight tempestuous seas
and biting winds. The record Of their
seven days struggle is q crown Of glory
to the French seaman and an example
Of bravery that will live long.
