No communication for bravery is due

Brigade in the opinion of one of those
who survived the charge at Balaklava
October %, 1854. George Baynes, sup
posed to be the only man in America of
that band of heroes, does not believe ons
of them would have volunteered for that
terrible and vain ordeal, and declares
they went forward in obedience to orders.
Before the Hero Club of the Y. NJ. C.
A. yesterday Mr.. Baynes described that
fearful advance into the jaws of death,
out of which 12S men rode back alive.
None who survived, he said, had any
but the vaguest idea of what they had
been through. A slight wound over his
right knee. received in the charge, and
three medals of honor are Mr.. Baynes'
souvenirs of the Crimean campaign.
Six years service as scout In New
Zealand was a later experience Of Mr..
Baynes. jewel given him by the
daughter of a chief whom he befriended
when he found her wounded on a battle

the Union side. and now, at seventy
seven years of age he is an inmate OF
