He looked very blank when he was told

exposed all the time, showing them

as often as any other gun on the ship.
The captain walked forward, by way
or encouraging the men, and Nolan
touched his hat and said:
II am showing them how we do this

And this is a part of the story where
all the legends agree; hat the commo-
dore said:
81 see you do, and I thank you, sir;
and l shall never forget this day, sir,
and you never shall, sir"
And after the whole thing was over,
and he had the Englishman's sword.
In the midst of the state and ceremony
of the quarterback. he said:
"Where is Mr.. Nolan? Ask MI. 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 off his
own sword of ceremony, and gave 1t to
Nolan, and made him put it on. The
man told me this who saw It. Nolan
cried like a baby, and well he might.
He had not worn a sword since that
internal day at Fort Adams. But al
ways afterward, on occasions of cere-
mony. he wore that quaint old French
sword of the commodore's.
The captain did mention him in the
dispatches. 1t was always said he
asked that he might be pardoned. He
wrote a special letter to the secretary
of war. BSt nothing ever came of 1t.
