NELSON AND THE cOxswAIN.
No Wonder TrafaIgar's Hero Was the
Idol Of His Fleet.

Just bef e the battle of Trafalgar a
mail was sent from the English fleet 10
England. and word was passed that 1t
might be the last chance to write be-
fore the expected battle. The letters
had been collected from the ships, the
letter-bags were on the vessel which
was to take them, and she had got some
distance away. under full sail, when
Lord Nelson saw a midshipman come
up and speak to Pasco. the signal Off
Ger. who. upon hearing what he had
said. stamped his foot in evident yexa-
ton, and uttered an exclamation. The
admiral called Pasco, and asked what
trouble your Lordship," was the reply.
You are not the man TO lose your
temper for nothing" rejoined Nelson.
What was it?" We'll. if you must
know. my Lord. / will tell you. You see
that coxswain?" pointing to one OF the
most active OF the petty officers. I'VE
have not a better man on the Victory,
and the message which put me out was
this. i was told that he was so busy
receiving and getting of his mailbag
that he forgot to put his own letter TO
his wife into one of them: and he had
just discovered IL in his pocket"
Hoist signal to bring her back
was Nelson's instant command. 'Who
knows that he may not fall in action
tomorrow? His letter shall go with the
rest" And the dispatch vessel was
brought back for that alone.
Capt. Mahan tells this charming story
on the authority OF the son OF Lieut.
Pasco. who used to say that 1t was no
wonder that the sailors idolized Nelson,
who was always thinking of them
