Killed nRoy on Burning Deck"

Few people know that the Boy on
the Burning Deck" is not a myth. but
an actual fact, and still fewer know
that the man who gave the order for
the destruction of the vessel, on whose
deck the aforesaid boy stood, was born
in Jamaica Plain, and lived there till
his royalist father, who objected
strenuously TO the American revolution
transplanted him to England, where he
served under Nelson in the battle of
the Nile.
The boy was French. son of the adj
miral of the French ship L'Orient, and
that was the vessel that blew up with
the immortal boy standing by the main
mast.
The boys unconscious destroyer,
Captain Benjamin Hallowell, was born
in the old Boylston house, .still standing
at the corner of BoyIston and Center
streets, in Jamaica Plain. The house
was built in 1926 by the Boylstons, and
afterwards passed to the ra'bid royal
list, Benjamin Hallowell, after whom
the captain was named.
The old man lived in Jamaica Plain
long enough to make himself unpopu-
lar when the American revolution
broke out. The son had been early sent
to England for his education, and he
became one Of the seven American
born men to attain distinction in the
British navy.
In the battle of the Nile Captain

Hallowell had command of the ship
"Swiftsure," which ran down the luck
less L'Orient. When Captain Halo
vessel to be blown up he knew moth
ing of the. 13year-old SON Of the
French admiral who. foolishly, but he
roicaly, obeyed his stern fathers or
der. Don't leave the vessel till /
give you permission" and his proud
tho child-l like FORM" graced the doom
ed vessel, when she with fragments
strewed around the sea-"
Captain HallOwell afterward heard
the sad tale, and was much moved by
it. The boy called out three times in
agony to his father, he learned, but
stood resolutely by the main mast, tho
his father lay cold in death.
So much moved was the captain
that he had coffin made in the boys
honor out of the floating fragments of
the Orient and sent it to his friend and
patron, Lord Nelson, with the story
of the boys bravery and expressing his
deep regret for the young hero's I'M
timely end
Nelson had the coffin placed in the
cabin, in remembrance of the boy, and
Captain Halowell himself told the tale
to the then widely known poetess, Fe-
lcia Hemans. Her sympathies were
Immediately excited and she immor-
talized the boy in her sentimental but
immortal verses, and she named him
wisely "Casabianca, White Soul.
AS the nineteenth century progressed
the once popular Mrs. Hemans was no
longer read. save by few studying
comparative poetry, but somehow the
boy caught the fancy of the educa-
tors and he was incarnated in fourth
youthful bravery and heroism.
In the Jamaica Plain library is
volume of Mrs. Hemans' poems, pub
lished in the latter part of the eigh-
teenth century, in which the history
of the boy is set forth.
In later editions no explanation is
given, and the boy was supposed to
be mere poetic fancy.
Captain Hallowell died in England
in 1884, hale old man. and very few
on this side of the Atlantic knew of
his connection with the famous boy,
who was so obedient to death. The
ELallowell records are still in exist
ence and the fact of Captain Halo
wells connection with the boy of Mrs.
Hemans' poem was made known re-
Gently by lecture in the Comins
school in RoXbury.
