A STORY OF NELSON.
The Presence of Mind of the Grea.
English Admiral.


Captain Mahan relates the following
anecdote concerning Lord Nelson's let
ter proposing a truce to the crown
prince of Denmark, dispatched in the
midst of hostiIities:
The decks being cleared of all parti-
veniences removed, Nelson wrote in
full view of all on the deck where he
was, at the casing of the rudder head.
standing, and as he wrote an officer
standing by took a copy. The original,
In his own hand, was put into an en-
velope and sealed, with his arms. The
officer was about to use a wafer, but
Nelson said:
mo; send for sealing wax and can
die"
Some delay followed owing to the
mans having had his head taken off
by a ball. 'Send another messenger
for the wax" said the admiral when
informed of this, and when the waters
were again suggested he simply reiter-
ated the order.
A large quantity of wax was used
and extreme care taken that the i'm
preston Of the seal should be perfect.
Colonel Stewart asked:
"Why under so hot a fire and after
so lamentable an accident have you at
tached so much Importance to a cir
cumstance apparently trifingT'
Had l made use of a wafer" re-
piled Nelson, 1.-The wafer would have
been still wet when the letter was
presented to the crown prince. He
would have inferred that the letter
was sent off in hurry and that we
had some pressing reasons for being In
q hurry. The wax told no tales"
