Battle of Port Nelson
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY
September =, 1897.

~
TNHE battle OF Port Nelson, fought
two hundred and Fifteen years
ago today-Septembe 4. 1697-was as
heroic a piece OF work as is TO be
found IN all the annals Of war, and
OH that account It's story will live
throughout the generations, for real
herosm is something that mankind
VIII admire to the end OF time.
After the great Fronteuac had
smashed the English power at QUE
bee, France sent ont some meu-of-
war to be placed under command OF
lbcrville at Placenta, Newfoundland,
whence he was to proceed to Hudson
Bay for the purpose OF clearing out
the English rule In that region.
In his flagship. the Pelican, at
tended by four other ships. Iberville
reached the west end OF Hudson
Straits about the first of August.

ship

vessels had disappeared and that he
was In close proximity to three pow

the Deering and the Hudson Bay.

On September 4. as he lay off Port
Nelson. on the western side OF fud-
son hay. he saw three sails bearing
down upon him. He thought they
were his own but soon learned that
they were the English frigates that
lie had seen In the straits. They
made straight for him and the battle
began.
or Ibervilles crew forty were sick,
as many more were on shore. leaving
him but l40 lighting men. The odds
were three to one, and for four hours
the battle ragged The decks OF the
Pelican were cut into kindling wood.
forty OF her crew were moved down
at one blast from the British mus
ketry. II turned bitterly cold. the
blood on the decks became ice and
each roll OF the sea sent the wound

But the Frenchman fought on.
Presently a wild scream rent the
air. and the English flagship, the
Hampshire, with 80 men, sank
swift as lead amid the hiss Of
flames into the sea" Upon this the
Hudson Bay surrendered. the Deering

it Of Joan OF Arc has not been
confined to the pages Of French
history,
Dressed in severely plain, homemade
dresses, their hair dressed simply and
their faces the color of fall apple
from the suns of Mexican summer,
Ella and Emma Stevens. daughters OF
the martyred Joshua Stevens of Colo
MIA Pacheco, Chihuahua, Mexico, are
deserving of place in Mormon eccle-
siastical history which is reserved for
only few Of the Latter-day Saints.
With their grief f-stricken mother,
these girls have joined the Mormon ref
ugee colony at the abandoned lumber
yards in FL Paso, where hundreds of
their neighbors of the Mexican colonies
drag out their discouraged days until
they arc permitted by political coudi-
tons to return to the adopted home
of their fathers in the wonderfully
fertile tablelands Of northwestern
Mexico.
Less heroic and more pathetically
helpless is the mother of these sturdy
daughters. The shock of her husband g
tragic death has put tho deep lines of
grief in her plain, wholesome face and
she seems interested little els than
memories of her dead husband.
Heart Gripping Story.
In the simple language Of the coun-
try, the girl who is i'll at ease in the
presence Of strangers, these girls told
their tale of terror in short, strained
sentences which needed no finish IN
the telling, for the story carried a
heart-gripping interest Of the devotion
of father to his daughters and the
complimentary devotion in daughters,
who, at the risk of their lives and
honor, went to the rescue of their
father who was beset by rebel rufhans
who had overpowercd him, and while
he was dying before their eyes they
beat of his assaiIants with clubs and
drove them away. Starting with the
simple statement that she was born
in Holden. Millard county, Utah, Emma
Stevens related the story of that tragic
August day in their mountain homo at
Colonia Pacbeco, TO the special CORE
spondent of The Tribune.
"We were picking berries in our or
chard when we looked up and saw
man standing near US she said. "My
sister Abble, Ella and ! were in the or
chard together. The Mexican was at
the foot OF the patch and when we
looked up we saw another, When the
second one came up to the first one they
counciled and then went to the foot of
the patch. We supposed they had gone
toward the house. We then saw them
creeping up to the bushes and one said
in English, sCome here

E'We started for the house In round
about way and they tried TO head us of
from the main road to the house. They
did not see us when we escaped but we
looked back and saw them and they saw
us. We decided TO go down in the lower
orchard and continue TO pick berries.
