IN the Mediterranean. But this I be-

myth, ben trovato, involving a ire
mendous blowing-up with which he
sank Burr, asking him how he liked
to be without country" But it is

of the sort could have happened; and

of the stories which get a-going where

folly, and then, like a man, submitted
to the fate he had asked for. He new
er Intentionally added to the difficulty
or delicacy Of the charge of those who
had him in hold. Accidents would
happen; but they never happened from
his fault. Lieutenant Truxton told me
that when Texas was annexed, there
was careful discussion among the
officers, whether they should get hold
Of Nolan's handsome set of maps, and
cut Texas out of it, from the map
Of the world and the map of ~Mexico.
The United States had been cut out
when the atlas was bought for him.
But it was voted rightly enough, that
to do this would be virtually to reveal
to him what had happened, or, as
Harry Cole said, to make him think
Old Burr had succeeded. So it was
from no fault of Nolan's that q great
botch happened at my own table, when,
for short time, was in command of
the George Washington corvette, on
the South American station. We were
lying in the La Plata, and some of the
officers, who had been on shore, and
had just joined again, were entertain
Ing us with accounts Of their misad-
ventures in riding the half-wild horses
of Buenos Aires. Nolan was at table,
and was in an unusually bright and

of war. But nothing ever came of 1t.
As said, that was about the time
when they began to ignore the whole
transaction at Washington, and when
Nolan's Imprisonment began to carry
Itself on because there was nobody to
