They Sang
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Crane)

When the British troopship Tyndar~
Gus stuck mine off Cape Agulhas on
Feb. panic among the soldiers would
have caused serious loss Of life. But
there was no panic. The officers gave
their commands and every man sprang
to his place. Perfect discipline tri-
umphed.
Two steamers" say the press des-
patches, despatched to the rescue, in
response to the wireless signals for help,
arrived on the scene within half an
hour. During this trying time. although
faced by the probability of imminent
death. the troops maintained steadfast
courage and coolness."
These were not seasoned veterans. but
young recruits recently at work in the
quiet duties of civilian life, yet they re-
sponded to orders as briskly as if on
parade. When the order to stand easy"
was given they began to sing, and for
half an hour the choruses of Upper
airy" and THE Long Trail rang out gay
ly in the leering face Of death.
This is the highest type of manhood
the conquest of fear by nobleness of
mind. 1t has its lesson for all of us, and
its rebuke for many.
Why should any soul whine and snivel7
Why should any human being complain
Suppose you are poor, hard pressed,
abused, wronged, sick, betrayed What
of it? The worst that can happen to you
is that you may die. And look at these
boys in the very breath of death singing
cheerilyi
We thank you, lads; the whole world
thanks you for your song. 1t will float
into innumerable wintry hearts and
bring life, like the breath of spring.
II viii cure us of our miserable self
pity, our cowardly despair.
Those who are ready TO give up those
who emditate suicide. those whose feeble
wills are paralyzed with discourage
ment or fear the whole~4reat army of
the disheartened thank you, and they
will take up the refrain, and no matter
what the untoward fates may plot
against them, they will fall 10 and sing:
