lbeen approved, and he was man
without a country.
The plan then adopted was sub
stantially the same which was enc
essarily followed ever after. Per-
haps it was suggested by the neces-
sity of sending him by water from
Fort Adams and Orleans.
The Secretary of the Navy-it
must have been the first CROWN
shield, tho he Is a man l do not
remember-was requested to put
Nolan on board Government YES
sci bound on a long cruise, and to
direct that he should be only so
far confined there as to make 1t
certain he never saw or heard OF
the country.
We had few long cruises then,
and the Navy was very much out
OF favor; and as almost all of this
story is traditional, as | have ex-
planned, l do not know certainly
what his first cruise was. But the
commander to whom he was in
trusted-perhaps 1t was Tingey or
Shaw, tho | think 1t was one of
the younger men-we are all old
enough now-regulated the ETH
quette and the precautions of the
affair, and, according to his
scheme, they were carried out, I
suppose, till Nolan died.

after, | saw the original paper of

in this way:
Washington with a date which
must have been late in 1900.
"Sir-You will receive from
Lieutenant Neale the person OF
Philip Nolan, late a lieutenant in
the United States Army.
This person, on his trial by
court-martial, expressed with an
oath the wish that he might never
hear of the United States again.
THE court sentenced him to
have his wish fulfilled.
For the present the execution
of the order is intrusted by the
President to this department.
you will take the prisoner on
board your ship and keep him
there with such precautions as
shall prevent his escape.
you will provide him with such
quarters, rations and clothing as
would be proper for an officer of
his late rank, If he we're a passen-
ger on your vessel on the business
of the Government.
1.-THE gentlemen on board will
make any arrangements agreeable
to themselves regarding his socie-
ty. He is to be exposed to no in
dignity of any kind, nor is he ever
unnecessarily to be reminded that
he is prisoner.

go over them first and cut out any
advertisement or stray paragraph
that alluded to America. This was
a little cruel sometimes, when the
back OF what was cut out might be
as innocent as Hesiod. Right in
the midst of one of Napoleon's bat
ties, or one of Canning's speeches,
poor Nolan would find a great hole,
because on the back of the page of
that paper there had been an ad-
vertisement of a packet for New
York, or scrap from the Presi-
dents message.
| say this was the first time |
ever heard of this plan, which aft
erward | had enough and more
than enough to do with. l remem-
Der 1t, because poor Phillips. who
was of the party, as son as the al
fusion to reading was made, told a
story of something which hap
pened at the Cape of Good Hope
and Nolan's first voyage; and it is
the only thing | ever knew Of that
voyage.
They had touched at the Cape,
aud had done he civil thing Wi. il
the English admiral and the fleet,
and then, leaving for a long cruise
up the Indian ocean. Phillips had
borrowed a lot of English books
from an officer, which, in those
days, as indeed In these, was quite
a windfall. Among them, as the
devil would order, was the Lay of
the Last Minstrel" which they
had all heard of, but which most of
them had never seen. | think 1t
could not have been published
long.
"Breathes There a Man"
Well, nobody thought there
could be any risk of anything ma
tional in that, tho Phillips swore
old Shaw had cut out the "Tem-
pest" from Shakespeare before he
let Nolan have it, because, he said,
THE Bermudas ought to be ours,
and, by Jove, should be one day"
So Nolan was permitted to join
the circle one afternoon when a
lot of them sat on deck smoking
and reading aloud. People do not
do such things 80 often now. but
when l was young we got rid of a
great deal of time so.
Well. SO it happened that in his
turn Nolan took the book and read
It to the others; and he read very

No Mess Likes to Have Him.
If l had only preserved the
whole of this paper, there would
be no break In the beginning oil
my sketch Of this story. For Cap.
tain Shaw, IL 1t were he, handed
1t to his successor in the charge
and he to his. and l suppose the
commander of the Levant has II
today as his authority for keeping
this man in his mild custody.
The rule adopted on board the
ships on which I have met "the
man without country" was,
think, transmitted from the begin,
ming. No mess liked to have him
permanently because his presence
cut off all talk of home or of the
prospect of return. of politics or
letters, of peace or Of war; cut off
more than half the talk men like
to have at sea. But 1T was always
thought too hard that he should
never meet the rest of us, except
to touch hats, and we finally sank
into one system.
He was not permitted to talk
with the men, unless an officer was
by. With officers he had unre-
strained intercourse, as far as they
and he chose. But he grew shy,
tho he had favorites. was one.
Then the captain always asked
him to dinner on Monday. Every
mess In succession took up the In
vitation in its turn. According to
the size of the ship, you had him at
your mess more or less often at
dinner. His breakfast he ate in
his own stateroom-he always had
a stateroom-which was where a
sentinel or somebody on the watch
could see the door. And whatever
else he ate or drank, he ate or
drank alone.
Called Him "PIain Buttons"
Sometimes, when the marines or
sailors had any special Notification,
they were permitted to invite

him. Then Nolan was sent with
some offi6er.. and the men were
forbidden to speak of home while
he was there. believe the theory

was that the sight of his punish

They called him plain But

chose to wear q regulation Army

reason that 1t bore either the init

circle knew a line of the poem,
only it was all magic and border
chivalry, and was 10000 years

then began, without thought of
what was coming:

BOARDS ASK FOR
CORRECT ADDRESS
DRAFTED MEN WHO DO NOT

IMPORTANT RIGHTS.
MUCH CONFUSION is CAUSED
Governor Phillip Informed That Re-
ward of Fifty Dollars Will Be
Paid for Delivery of Deserter
from National Army.

Madison-All drafted men who have
changed their place of abode are
warned by the provost marshal gen.
eral in telegram to Gov. Philip that
unless the local board has their latest
address, they are likely to waive i'm
portant rights and to be indicted i'm
mediately into the military service.
A great deal of confusion has result
ed even under the less stringent rules
of the first draft, in men changing
their residence and not notifying local
boards. 1t was revealed that under the
first draft many of the men who had
been arrested as deserters were men
innocent of any such charge, but had
failed to comply with the law in keep
ing local boards advised as to their
residence.
A reward of $50 is payable for the
delivery to a military camp, post, or
station of a deserter from the National
army. This is the effect of a message
received by Gov. Phillip from Gen.
CroWder.
