THIRD INSTALLMENT.
"I tun showing them how we do this
in the artillery, sir."
And this is a part of the story where
till the legends agree ; that the commo
dore said : !
"I see yon do, and I thank you, sir; !
and I shall never forget this day, sir,
and you never shall, sir." j
And after the whole thing was over,
and he had the Englishman's sword, j
in the midst of the state and ceremony ;
of the quarterdeck, he said:
"Where is Mr. Nolan? Ask Mr. No
lan 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 it to
Nolan, and made him put it on. Tin;
man told me this who saw it. Nolan
cried like a baby, and well he might.
He had not worn n sword since that
infernal 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. It was always said he
asked that he might be pardoned. lie
wrote a special letter to the secretary
of war. But nothing ever came of it.
As I said, that w;is 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
stop it without any new orders from
home.
I have heard it said that he was with
Porter when he took possession of the
Nukahiwa islands. Not this Porter,
you know, but old Porter, his father,
Essex Porter, that is, the old Essex
Port"r. not this Essex. As an artil
lery officer, who had seen service in
the West. Nolan knew more about for
tifications, embrasures, ravelines.

no man in ihe
world lived so methodical a life as he.
"You kti.r.v the boys say 1 am the
Iron Ma.-.':, and you know how busy
he wax." He said it did not do for
anyone to try to read all the tini". more
than to do anything else til! the time;
but that he read just live hours a day.
"Then," he said, "1 keep up my note
books, writing in them at such and
such hours from what I have been
reading: and I include in them my
scrapbooks." These were very curious
indeed. He had six or eight, of differ
ent subjects. There was one of his
tory, one of natural science, one which
he called "Odds and Ends." But they
were not merely books of extracts
from newspapers. They had bits of
plants and ribbons, shells tied on. and
carved scraps of bone and wood, which
he had taught the men to cut for him,
and they were beautifully illustrated.
He drew admirably. He had some of
the funniest drawings there, and some
of the most pathetic, that 1 have ever
seen in my life. I wonder who will
have Nolan's scrapbooks.
Well, he said his reading and his
notes were his profession, and that
they took five hours and two hours
respectively of each day. "Then,"
said he, "every man should have a di
version as well as a profession. My
natural history is my diversion." That
took two hours a day more. The men
used to bring him birds and fish, but
on a long -cruise he had to satisfy him
self with centipedes and cockroaches
and such small game. He was the only
naturalist I ever met who knew any
thing about the habits of the house fly
and the mosquito. All those people
can tell you whether they are Lepi
doptera or Stoptopotera ; but as for
telling how you can get rid of them,
or how they get awa-y from you when
you strike them, why, Linnaeus knew
as little of that as John Foy, the idiot,
did. These nine hours made Nolan's
regular daily "occupation." The rest
of the time he talked or walked. Till
he grew very old, he went aloft a great
deal. He always kept up his exercise
and I never heard that he was ill. If
any other man was ill, he was the kind
est h'tsb in the world; and he knew

If anybody was sick or died, or If the
captain wanted him to on any other
occasion, he was always ready to read
prayers. I have remarked that he
read beautifully.
My own acquaintance with Philip
Nolan began six or eight years after j
the war, on my first voyage after I
was appointed a midshipman. It was
In the first days nfter our slave trade
treaty, while the reigning house, '
winch was still the house of Virginia,

of the middle passage, and something
was sometimes done that way. We
were in the South Atlantic on that '
business. From the time I joined, I 1
believe I thought Nolan was a sort of
lay chaplain a chaplain with a blue
coat. I never asked about him. Ev
erything in the ship was strange to
me. I knew it was green to ask ques
tions, and I suppose I thought there
was a "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 he said j
about home. But if they had told us j
not to say anything about the planet !
Mars or the book of Deuteronomy, I
should not have asked why ; there were
a great many things which seemed to
me to have as little reason. t first
came to understand anything about
"the man without a country" one day
when we overhauled u dirty little
schooner which had slaves on board.
An officer was sent to take charge of
her, and after a few minutes he sent
back his boat to ask that someone
might be sent him who could speak
Portuguese. We were all looking over
the rail when the message came, and
we all wished we could interpret, when
the captain asked who spoke Por
tuguese. But none of the officers did;
and just as the captain was sending j
forward to ask if any of the people j
could, Nolan stepped out and said he !
should be glad to interpret, if the cap-
tain wished, as ho understood the Ian- i
Hushed the Men Down.
guage. The captain thanked him. fit
ted out another boat with him, and in
this boat it was my luck to go.
When we got there, it was such a
scene as you seldom see, and never
want to. Nastiness beyond account,
and chaos run loose in the midst of the
nastiness. There were not a great
many of the negroes; but by way
of making what there were understand
that they were free, Yaughan had had
their handcuffs and anklecuffs knocked
off, and. for convenience' sake, was
putting them upon the rascals of the
schooner's crew. The negroes were,
most of them, out of the hold, and
swarming all round the dirty deck,
with a central throng surrounding
Vaughan and addressing him in every
dialect and patois of a dialect, from
the Zulu click up to the Parisian of
Beledeljereed.
As we. came on deck, Yaughan
looked down from a hogshead, on
which he had mounted in desperation,
and said:
"For God's love, is there anybody
who can make these wretches under
stand something? The men gave them
rum, and that did not quiet them. I
knocked that big fellow down twice,
and that did not soothe him. And then
I talked Choctaw to all of them to
gether; and I'll be hanged if they un
derstood that as well as they under
stood the English."
Nolan said he could speak Por
tuguese, and one or two fine-looking
Kroomeu were dragged out, who, as it
had been found already, had worked
for the Portuguese on the coast at
Fernando Po.
"Tell them they are free," said
Vaughan; "and tell them that these
rascals are to be hanged as soon as
we can get rope enough."
Nolan explained it in such Portu
guese as the Kroomen could under
stand, and they in turn to such of the
negroes as could understand them,
i Then there was such a yell of delight.
I ill!

y i
clinching of fists, leaping and dancing,
kissing of Nolan's feet, and a general
rush made to the hogshead by way of
spontaneous worship of Vaughan as
the deus ex machina of the occasion.
"Tell them," said Yaughan, well
pleased, "that I will take them all to
Cape Palmas."
This did not answer so well. Cape
Palmas was practically as far from
the homes of most of them as New Or
leans or ltio Janeiro was; that is, they
would he eternally separated from
home there. And their Interpreters, as
we could understand, instantly said,
"Ah, non Palmas," and began to pro
pose infinite other expedients in most
voluble language. Vaughan was rath- j
er disappointed at this result of his j
liberality, and asked Nolan eagerly
what they said. The drops stood on ;
poor Nolan's white forehead as he ,
hushed the men down, and said :
"He says. 'Not I'almas.' He says, '
'Take us home, take us to our coun- j
try, take us to our own house, take
us to our own pickaninnies and our ;
own women.'. He says he has an old j
father and mother, who will die, if i
thev do not see him. And this one '
says he left his people all sick, and
paddled down to come and help them,
and that these devils caught him in
the bay just in sight of home, and
that he has never seen anybody from
home since then. And this one says,"
choked out Nolan, "that he has not
heard a word from his home in six
months, while he has been locked up
in an infernal barfacoon."
Vaughan always said he grew gray
himself while Nolan struggled through
this Interpretation. I, who did not un
derstand anything of the passion in
volved in it, saw that the very ele
ments were melting with fervent heat,
and that something was to pay some
where. Even the negroes themselves
stopped howling. its they saw Nolan's
agony, and Yaughan's altiiost equal
agony of sympathy. As quick as ho
could get words, tie said:
"Tell them yes, yes; tell them they
shall go to the Mountains of the Moon,
if they will. If I sail the schooner
through the Croat White Desert, they
shall go home !"
And after some fashion Nolan said
so. And then they all fell to kissing
him again and wanted to rub his nose
with theirs.
But he could not stand it long; and
getting Yaughan to say he might go
back, he beckoned me down into our
boat. As we lay back in the stern
sheets and the men gave way, he said
to me: "Youngster, let that show you
what it is to be without a family, with
out a home, and without a country.
And if you are ever tempted to say n
word or to do a thing that shall put
a
bar between you and your family.

I was frightened to death bv his
calm, hard passion; but I blundered
i out that 1 would, by all that was holy,
and that 1 had never thought of doing
I anything else. He hardly seemed to
hear me; hut he did, almost in a
'whisper, say: "Oh. if anybody had
said so to me when I was of your age!"
I think it was this half-confidence of
his, which I never abused, for I never
told this story till now, which after
ward made us great friends. He was
, very kind to me. Often he sat up, or
j even got up, at night to walk the deck

what I am telling. When we parted

end of our cruise, I was more sorry
than I can tell. I was very glad to
meet him again in IS.' 50; and later lu
life, when I thought I had some in

en and earth to have him discharged.
But it was like getting a ghost out of.
