How the Vanqshed Emperor Spent the Long and Dreary
Years of His Captivity-The Three Regretted Points
i'm His Career and His Love for Books

perial captive, was utterly unsuited 10y
temperament and experience for his
post: and OF course, he, too. made
record of the eventful days spent at ST.
Helena. He relates that in order to OBJ
tain needed exercise without going out
Of doors, Napoleon had constructed in
his house a scesaw made of heavy
beams. at one end q large weight; and
on this he tried to get the physical ac-
tivity that was necessary to health.
During the autumn and winter Of
1sl5-l6 Admiral Cockburn remained at
st. Helena, virtually responsible for the
prisoner, and he was so calm. so good
humored, so entirely unrutiied by any
thing which was said or done that Ma
poleon's protests could make no impress
sion on him, or arouse him to indis-
Greet reply. But in April. 1916, Cockburn
was replaced by Sir Hudson Lowe,
whom the prisoner instantly perceived
to be man far more Vulnerable.
Never had Napoleon given up hope
of some day being released, and of
justifying himself and his career in the
eyes of the world. He realized that to
obtain release he must awaken SYM
pathy on the part of the British public,
as distinct from the British Govern
ment Not only this. but he carefully
laid out plan Of action through which
he hoped to win back for himself the
confidence Of France. This twofold pur-
pose he expected to accomplish by send
ing emissaries with messages to power
full personages in Europe. invoking their
aid. He planned to arouse English
sympathy by writing accounts Of his
miserable condition and more miserable
surroundings in st. Helena.
In order to win back the confidence OF
France, he sought to impress the world
with his avowed position as "Liberator''
Of that country. That Napoleon be-
lieved himself to be what he thus pic
tured himself while at st. Helena Is
scarcely open 10 question. To some per-
sons this Is picture drawn either by a
mailman or by hypocrite. Lord Rose
berry raised the question as to whether
Napoleon had not been unbalanced
mentally, possibly insane. as far back
as 1910.
1.-THE Napoleon who refused to make
peace in 1913 and 1914" he AYERS, "had
obviously lost the balance OF his reason.
So obvious was this that in the last
days Of his first reign there was a con-
spiracy In Paris to dethrone him on the
ground of insanity"
Despite the extraordinary measures
taken by England to keep the lion Sc
curely Gagged In st. Helena Bonaparte
kept on scheming by day and by night
to obtain secret communication with his
friends and allies who remained In
France. Once, probably through the
activity Of his secretary, Las Cases. he
almost succeeded in such an undertake
ing. and Las Cases was dismissed from
the island. Gourgaud seems to have
picked a quarrel with Montholon, also

| deliberate purpose Of being sent away
so that he could appeal to the Car, to
the Emperor Francis and finally to the

loose trousers and stockings, all in one:
checkered red madras handkerchief
upon his head. and his shirt collar open,
without a cravat. His air was melan-
choly and troubled. Before him stood a
little round table with some books, at
the foot of which lay in confusion upon
the carpet a heap OF those he had al
ready perused."
Lord Rosebery. however, calls atten-
ton to the fact that the Emperor
costume usually was more formal than
that pictured by O'Meara. and describes
the prisoner as wearing a hunting uni
form, a green coat with sporting but

cloth grew shabby, rather than wear an

White breeches and stockings were worn
with the green coat, and while he gave
up his uniform of the Chasseurs a few
weeks after arriving at st. Helena, he
preferred to keep on wearing his little
cooked hat, although later he put aside
the tricolor cockade.
After brief interval Napoleon
plunged into work at ST. Helena with
much of the enormous energy he had
shown before his defeat. Occasionally
he drove through the territory per-
mitted him, an equerry on either side
of the carriage which was drawn by
six horses. But for the most part
he kept within the miserable building

writing, talking to this member or that

purpose of working on the sympathies
of the English people.
That there was anything approaching
true happiness for the little company
so strangely assembled is a matter Of
doubt. Most of its members had been
men Of action in large affairs of the
world; accustomed to the lights and
plaudlts, to the society and destinations
of great cities familiar with unremit-
ting physical labor In military cam
paigns, spurred on to heroic deeds by
the excitement Of battle. And suddenly
they found themselves in that moist,
tropical, enervating atmosphere, on the
last habltable spot which England could
discover for caging her prisoner.
Jealousies arose among some Of the
men over mere matters Of precedence In
Napoleon's company. Especially was
Gourgaud often enraged at what he
thought was discrimination against
himself and in favor Of Montholon, with
whom he wished to fight a duel to the
death. AS time went on he raved and
stormed, sometimes showing extraor-
binary petulance in the presence OF the
Emperor, who, instead Of bursting into
towering passion and ordering him
punished, actually treated this head

Napoleon was pictured as an exile
chained to rock, his miserable house
overrun with vermin-which was true
as far as rats were conccrned-ani

which friends provided. Soon the peo-
pie of England began to ask who was
responsible for the needless shame to
which this former monarch was put,
and who was at fault for the stupid
regulations OF stupid government. stu
pidly enforced by a stupid governor"
Somewhat in this way men talked and
questioned, remarks Sloane; Napoleons
faults were overlooked in the pitiful
story of his present suffering OF mind
and body, and once more the glory
of Napoleon became a powerful force
in Europe"
During the last year Of his life In
st. Helena, the determination to live
once more, and not merely to exist,
seemed to have taken possession OF the
prisoner. Into his garden he plunged,
and there labored with enormous en-
ergy. directing and squirting on the
Chinese laborers employed for the pur-
pose. The once mighty Emperor did
not refrain from manual labor himself
and Montholon describes him out at
dawn. wearing a huge straw hat and
red slippers. digging with a spade as
II the fortunes Of Europe depended upon
his eXertions.
Not merely the hired Chinese labor
ers but the members Of his suite also
had to work in that garden. And yet,
some Of them may have found outdoor
exercise a relief from the toll exacted
of them within Napoleons little study.
Las Cases and Montholon were fire.
quently almost exhausted by the strain
put ON them while Napoleon was die
tating his various literary efforts.
Once. II is said, he dictated steadily
for fourteen hours at a stretch. and
sometimes. beginning such work In the

night. On an occasion OF this kind
| when Montholon, for example. had been
receiving dictation hour after hour I'M

decessor.
Even such herculean endeavors as

the demon of energy which still pos

one time, he INDUCED the fancy of buy

posts ceaselessy watching the house,
the grounds and the approaches thereto.
When sunset came and dusk followed
the guard was brought in from the
daytime patrol coo PAGES from the house
and strong Gordon Of armed and vigil
liant troops was thrown close around
the building. At least twice in every
twenty-four hours the commander of
the guard made II his business to see
personally that the captive was there
at the Briars, safe and sound, and
every precaution watch military science
could devise was taken to prevent him
from having secret communication with
any one.
Almost all of those who remained
loyal to Napoleon and shared his exile
kept journals OF daily happenings, for
which reason an immense amount OF
material exists concerning the years at
st. Helena, and much of that which
has been published passed under the
keen eye and careful judgment of Lord
Rosebery when he was making studies
Tor his work Napoleon: the Last
Phase" published about a dozen years
ago. In his opinion Longwood was not
so much a farmhouse, as we understand

lection Of huts originally constructed
as a cattle shed, swept by a wind which
seldom ceased, unrelleved by shade !;
damp, hot and infested by rats to such
an extent that they ran fearlessly
around the Emperor as he sat at table.
Sometimes, 1t is said. the rodents even
attacked a sleeping child or a drowsy
sentry and nothing could be done to rid
the building Of them.
To Napoleon were assigned two rooms
OF equal size, measuring fourteen feet
by twelve, and not exceeding eleven
in height, each lighted by two small
windows. In a corner Of one Of them
stood the camp bed. shielded by green
silk curtains. which the Emperor had
used on many field, including those
OF Marengo and Austerlitz. Near the
fireplace was an old sofa on which
Napoleon was accustomed to spend
much of the daytime during the earlier
part Of his captivity. and usually 1t

in which he spent a large part Of the
day. and where he slept by night when
he could do so uninterruptedly. On the
low walls were two portraits of his son
the little King of Rome, one represent
ing the child riding on a lamb. and
another showing him putting on slip
per; and also there was standing al
one side bust Of the child. A NINA.

served, and across the room hung q

fused to accompany her husband, ever
| to acknowledge him; and who, during
, his lonely exile. was living shamelessly
and in all apparent happiness, at Parma
with Neipperg. with whom she long hat

The second room held a writing

small bed where Napoleon sometime.
would rest during the day. DR.. O'Meara
