On Jubilee day, which commemorated
the discovery of gold in California in
1s49, a squad of Battery of the regu-
lar army was firing a salute at Lime
Point fort, near San Francisco. One
load-the charge was so pounds of pow
der inclosed in n wooden bag-did not
go off, and the officer in command or
dered it to. be pulled out of the cannon.
The charge was withdrawn, and as
it dropped to the ground it was seen
that one corner of the wooden bag was
ON fire In an instant the powder would
have caught and the seven men with
their officer would have been killed.
Private John M. Jones jumped toward
the smoldering bag. rolled it in the
mud and with his bare hands plastered
the singed edges with damp earth
1t was a quick, brave deed, and had
the hero been a British soldier il would
have brought him a Victoria cross to
