And there he stayed. captain of that
gun, keeping those fellows In spirits
till the enemy struck. The captain
walked forward by way Of encourag-
ing the men, and Nolan touched his
hat and said:
II am showing them how we do this
In the artillery. SIR"
And this is part of the story where
all the legends agree-that the commo-
dore said:

and l shall never forget this day. sir.
and you never snail, sir.
And after the whole thing was oeer
and he had the Englishman's sword in

the quarterback he said:
"where Is Mr.. NolanS Ask Mr.. No
Ian to come here"
And when Nolan came the captain
said
"Mr Nolan. we are all very grateful
to you today. You are one Of us today.
You will be named in the dispatches"
And then the old man took of his
own sword of ceremony and gave 1t to
Nolan and made him put 1t on. The
man told me this who saw it. Nolan
cried like a baby, and well he might.
He had not worn sword since that
Internal day at Fort Adams.
The captain did mention him in the
dispatches. 1t was always said he
asked that he might be pardoned. He
wrote special letter to the secretary
of war. But nothing ever came of it.

when they began to ignore the whole

Statement That Strike Was
Not Authorized

With the announcement that the

at once in preferring charges against
the strikers for quitting their jobs
without the sanction of the brother
hood.
Similar instructions are expected
from the Order Of Railway Conductors
