said that he read beautifully.
My own acquaintance with Philip
Nolan began six or eight years after
the war. on my first voyage after l
was appointed midshipman. 1t was
in the first days after our slave trade
treaty, while the reigning house, which
was still the house of Virginia, had

die passage, and something was some
times done that way. We were in the
South Atlantic on that business From

ship was strange to me. | knew 1t was

l thought there was plain Buttons"
on every ship We had him to dine in
our mess once a week. and the caution
was given that on that day nothing was
to be said about home. But II they had
told us not to say anything about the
planet Mars or the book of Deuceron-
omy. l should not have asked why;
there were great many things which
seemed to me to have as little reason.
l first came to understand anything
about the man without a country one
day when we overhauled a dirty little
schooner which had slaves on board.
An officer was sent to take charge of
her, and, after few minutes, he sent
back his boat to ask that some one
might be sent him who could speak
Portuguese. But none of the officers
did; and just as the captain was send
ing forward to ask IL any of the people
could, Nolan stepped out and said he
should be glad to interpret, IL the cap
tain wished. as he understood the Ian
guage. The captain thanked him, fitted
out another boat with him, and in this
boat it was my luck to go.
When we got there il was such a Scene

As we came on deck Vaughan looked
down from hogshead on which he had
mounted in desperation and said:

a big fellow down twice. and that did not

and he had the Englishman's sword, in

And when Nolan came, the captain
