AJOW, when the fire of American patriotism flares again
1V from the rocky headland* of Maine to the golden beaches
of California, is the time to read anew this "prose epic
of American patriotism."
As a story it holds the interest: as a lesson in love of
country it has thrilled the American heart for half a century.
There are now, thank Cod, but few Philip Nolans among us, men
who "wish they may never hear of the United States again! "
This famous story, which will rank forever first among
America's appeals to patriotism, should be read and reread
for its own sake and for the inspiration it brings.
By EDWARD EVERETT HALE
(Continued from, yesterday)
When 1 was'second officer of" tfie
Intrepid some thirty years after 1 saw
the original paper of instructions:
Washington (With the date, which must
havp been lute In 1907).
81r—Ton wll: receive from Lt. Neale the
person of I'hlllp Nolan, late a lieutenant
In the United States army.
This person on his trial by court mar
tini expressed with an uath 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 or
der is intrusted by the president to this
department.
You will take the prisoner on board yoyr
ahlp and keep him tiiere with such pre
cautions 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 were
a passenger on your vessel on the busi
ness of his government.
The gentlemen on board will make any
arrangements agreeable to themselves re
garding Ills society. He Is to be exposed |
to no indignity of any1 kind, nor 1s he ever
unnecessarily to be reminded that be Is a j
prisoner.
Hut under no circumstances Is he ever
to hear of his country or to see any In
formation regarding it. and you will es
pecially caution all the officers under your
command to take cure that. In the various
indulgences which may be granted, this
rule, in which his punishment is involved,
shall not be broken.
it is the intention of the government
that ho shall never again see the country
which he has disowned. Before the end
of your cruise you will receive orders
which will give effect to this Intention.
Resp y you:*. W. SOUTHARD.
For the Secretary cf the Navy.
I suppose the commander of the Le
vant has it today as his authority for
beeping this man in his mild custody.
The rule adopted ou board the ships
ou which I have met "The Man With
out a Country" was, 1 think, transmit
ted from the beginning. No mess liked
to have him permanently, because his
presence cut off ail talk of home or of
the prospect of return, or pontics or
letters, of peace or of war—cut off
more than half the talk men like to
have at sea. But It was always thought
too hard that he should never meet the
rest of us. except to touch hats, and
we finally sank lnlo one system. He
was not permitted to talk with the
men uuless an officer was by. With
officers he had unrestrained inter
course. as far as they and he chose
But he grew shy. though he had favor
ites. I was.one. Then the captain al
ways asked hitn to dinner on Monday.
Every mess in succession took up the
invitation in Its turn. According to the
size of the ship, you had him at your
mess more or less often at dinner. His
breakfast ho ate In his own stateroom
—he always had a stateroom—which
was where a sentinel or somebody oil
the watch could see the door. And
whatever else he ate or drank be ate
or drank alone. Sometlxaea. when the
marines or sailors had any special Jol
lification. they were permitted to lavite
"Plain Buttons," as they called him.
They called him "Plain Buttons" be
cause. while he always chose to wear a
regulation army uniform, he was not
permitted to wear the army button,
for the reason that It bore either the
initials or the insignia of the country
hn hnil rtiapwnefl.
J remember soon after I Joined tne
navy. Some one told the system which
was ndopted from the first about hl»
books and other reading. As he was
alma--t never permitted to go on shore,
even though the vessel lay In port for
months, his time at the best hung
heavy, and everybody was permitted
to lend bim books If they were nol
published in America and made no al- (
luston to It. He had almost all the
foreign papers that came into the ship
sooner or later, only somebody muet
go over them first and cut out any ad
vertisement or stray paragraph that
aliuded to America. Phillips told me a
story of something which happened at
tlie Cape of Good Hope on Nolan's first
voyage, and it is the only thing I ever
knew of that voyage. Phillips had
borrowed a lot of English books from
an officer, which in those days, as In
deed in these, was quite a windfall.
Among them, as the devil would order,
was the "Lay of the Last Minstrel,"
which they had ail of them heard of,
but which most of them had never
seen. I think it could not have been
published long. Well, nobody thought
there could lie any risk of anything na
tional in that, so Nolan was permit
ted to join the circle one afternoon
when a lot of them sat on deck smok
ing and reading aloud. Nolan took the 1
book and read to the others, and he
read very well, as I know. Nobody la
the circle knew a line of the poem,
only it was all magic and border chiv
alry and was 10.000 years ago. Poor
Nolan read steadily through the fifth
canto, stopped a minute and drank
something and then began, without a
thought of what was coming:
• Breathes there the man with soul so
dead
Who never to himself hath said.
" This Li my own, my native land?'"
Then tbey all saw something was to
pay, but be expected to get through, I
suppose, turned a little pale, but
planned on:
"Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned
A* home hi* footsteps he hath turned
Prom wandering; on a foreign strand?
It such there breathe, go, mark him well."
By this time the men were all beside
themselves, wishing there was any
way to make him turn over two pages,
but he had not quite presence of mind
for that He gagged a little, colored
crimson and staggered on:
"For him no minstrel raptures swell.
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim,
Despite these titles, power and pelf,
The wretch, concentrated all In self—
And here the poor fellow choked, could
sot go on, but started up, swung tha
book Into the sea, vanished Into his
stateroom, "and, by Jove," said Phil
lips, "we did not see him for two
mouths again. And I had to make up
some beggarly story to that English
surgeon why I did not return his Wal
ter Scott to him."
That story shows about the time
when Nolan's braggndocio must have
broken down. At first they said he
took a very high toue. considered his
Imprisonment a mere farce, affected to
enjoy the voyage, and all that, but
Phillips said that after he came out of
his stateroom he never was the same
man again. He never read aloud
again unless It was the Bible or Shake
speare or something else he was sure
of. He was always shy afterward
when I knew him—very seldom spoke
unless he was spoken to. except to a
very few friends. Lie lighted up occa
sionally. but generally he had the nerv
ous, tired look of a heart wounded
man.
INUUIUH trimmer ui sen iu me «ui
ren was the first of some twenty such
transfers, which brought him sooner
or later Into half our best vessels, but
which kept him all his life at least
some hundred miles frum the country
he had hoped he might never hear of
again.
It may have been on that second
cruise—It was once when he was up
the Mediterranean—that Mrs. CJraff,
the celebrated southern beauty of those
days, danced with him. They bad
be«n a long time In the bay of Naples,
and the officers were very Intimate
In the English fleet, and there had been
great festivities, and our men thought
they must give a great ball on board
the ship. They wanted to use Nolan's
stateroom for something, and they hat
ed to do it without asking him to the
ball, so the captain said they might
ask him If they would be responsible
that he did not talk with the wrong
people, "who would give him intelli
gence." For ladies they had the fam
ily of the American consul, one or two
travelers who had ventured so far and
a nice bevy of English girls and ma
trons, perhaps Lady Hamilton herself.
As the dancing weut on. Nolan and
our fellows all gctt at euse. as I said—
so much so that it seemed quite natu
ral for him to bow to that splendid
Mrs fJraff «nd snv:
"I bop® you have not forgotten me.
Miss Rutledge. Shall I have the hon
er of dancing?-'
He did It so quickly that Shubrlck,
who was by him, could not hinder
Mm. She laughed and said:
•*1 am not Miss rtutledge any longer.
Mr. Nolan, but 1 will dance all the
same." Just nodded to Shubrick as lr
to say he must leave Mr. Nolan to her
and led him off to the place where the
dance was forming.
Nolan thought he bad got his chance.
He bad known her at Philadelphia,
and at other places bad met her and
this was a godsend. He said boldly—
a little pale, she said, as she told me
the story yeare after:
"And what do you hear from home,
Mrs. Graff?'
And that splendid creature looked
through him. Jove! bow she must
have looked through him! "Home!!
Mr. Nolan!!! I thought you were the
man who never wanted to hear of
hoaae again!" And she walked direct
ly op the deck to her husband and left
poor Nolan alene, as he always was.
He did not dance again.
A happier story than either of these
I have told 1a of the war. In one of
the great frigate duels with the Eng
lish, in which the navy was really bap
tised, It happened that a round shot
from the enemy entered one of oar
ports square and took right down the
officer of the gun himself and almost
every man of the gun's crew. As the
rari*oc'« people were carrying off the
bodies there appeared Nolan in his
shirt aleevea, with the rammer in his
hwid. and. Joat as if. he-had i»ea '
nfflcer, told them off with authority
who should go to the cockpit with the
wounded men, who should stay with
him, perfectly cheery and with that
way which makes inon feel sure all Is
right and Is going to be right. And he
finished loading the gun with his own
bands, aimed it and bade the men fire.
And there he stayed, captain of that
gun, keeping those fellows In spirits
till the enemy struck. The captain
walked forward by way of encourag
ing the men, and Nolan touched his
hat and said:
"I am showing them how we do this
In the artillery, sir."
And this is a part of the story where
all the legends agree—that the commo
dore said:
"I see you do, and I thank you, sir,
and I shall never forgot this day, sir.
and you never shall, sir."
And after the whole thing was over
and he had the Englishman's sword 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
■aid:
"Mr. Nolan, we are all very grateful
to you today. You are one of us today.
Tou 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. The
man told me this who saw It. Nolan
cried like a baby, and well he might.
He had not worn a sword since that
Infernal day at Fort Adams.
The captain did mention him in the
dispatches. It was always said he
asked that he might be pardoned. He
wrote a special letter to the secretary
of war. But nothing ever came of it.
As I said, that was about the time
when they began to Ignore the whole
transaction at Washington.
