The Man Without
— By EDWARD EVERETT HALE
KTOW, when the fire of American patriotism flares again
I V from the rocky headlands 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 God, 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 f>e read and reread
for its own sake and for the inspiration it brings.
(Continued from yesterday)
PART II.
'QLAN must have been In erw7
sea yiiid yet almost never or
Intnl. lie told me once, with a
grave smile, that no man in the
ivorld lived so methodical a lite as he.
'You know the boys say I am the Iron
Mask. and you know how busy h#
ivas." He said It did not do for any
>ne to try to read all the time more
iian to do anything else all the time,
>ut that he ivad just five hours a day
Then.'' ho said, "i keep up my note
books, writing in them at such and
nich hours from what I have been
reading, and I include In them my
k'rapbooks." These were very curious
udoed. He had six or eight, of differ
>nt subjects. There was one of his
»ry, one of natural science, one which
le called "odds and euds." But they
svere not merely books of extracts
'roui newspapers. They had bits of
slants and ribbons, shells tied on and
parved scraps of bone and wood, which
ic had taught the men to cut for him,
tnd they were beautifully illustrated.
Till be grew vary old. he always went
Lloft a great deal. He always kept up
lis i xeivise. and 1 never heard that he
vms ill. It' any other man was ill he
;vas the kindest nurse In the world,
tnd he knew more than half the sur
teoiis do. Then if anybody was sick or
lied, or if the captain wanted him to
m any other occasion, he was always
•eady to read prayi-rs. I have remark
Hl that he read beautifully.
Sly own acquaintance with Philip
Solan be'.au six or eight years after
iie war. on my first voyage after 1
.vas appointed a midshipman. It was
n the first days after our slave trade
reaty, while the reigning house, which
vas -till the house of Virginia, had
iuppression uf the horrors of the Mld
l!e Passage, and something was somo
Jines done that way. I first came to
roderstuud anything about "the man
without a country" one day when we
)Verlmuled a dirty little schooner
khieh had slaves on board. An officer
was sent to take charge of her. and
ifter a few minutes he Kent back his
pant to ask that some oue might be
•out hltu who could speak Portuguese.
IVe were all looking over the rail when
he message came. ::tid we all wished
ive could interpret when the captain
isked who spoke Portuguese. But none
>f the officers did, and just as the cap
ain was sending forward to ask If any
>f the people could. Nolan stepped out
tnd said he should he glad to interpret
f the captain wished, as he understood
:he language. The captain thanked
lim. fitted out another boat with him.
ind In this boat it was my luck to so.
When we got there it was such a
scene as you seldom see and never
want to. N'astiness beyond account
ind chaos run loose in the midst of the
lastiness. The negroes were, most of
:hem. out of the hold and swarming all
■ound the dirty deck, with a central
throng surrounding Vaughan and ad
dressing hltu in every dialect and pa
tois of a dialect, from the Zulu click up
to the Parisian of Meledeljereed.
As we can re on deck Vaughan looked
lo*vu from a hogshead on which he
iad mounted iu desperation and said:
"Per Gods love, is there auybody
svho can make these wretches under
stand something?"
Nolan said he could speak Portu
gese and one or two fine looking
Kroomen were dragg.il out. who. as
it had been found already, had worked
for the Portuguese at Fernando Po.
"Tell them they are free." said
Vaughan. "and tell them that these
rascals are to be hanged us soon as we
can get rope enough."
Nolan explained It In such Portu
guese as the Kroomeu could under
stand and they In turn to snch ef the
negroes as eoald understand them.
Then there waa such a yell of delight,
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 Yaughan as
the deus ex maehina of the occasion.
"Tell them," said Vaughau, well
pleased, "that X 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 IUo Janeiro was—that is, they
would be eternally separated from
home there. And their Interpreters, as
we could understand, instantly said,
"Ah. non Palmas," and began to pro
pose luflnlDe other expedients In most
▼oluble language. Vaughan was
rather disappointed at this result of
his liberality and asked Nolan eagerly
what they said. The drops stood on
poor Nolan's white forehead as he
hushed the men. down. wid. said*
"lie say's 'N'Ji ruiluas.'- tie says,
"Take us home, take us to our own
couutry, take us to our own bouse,
take us to our own pickaninnies and
our own women.' And tills one says,"
choked out Nolan, "that he has not
heard a word from his home in six
mouths, while he has been locked up la
an Infernal barracoou."
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, snw thnt the very ele
ments were melting with fervent beat
and that something was to pay some
where. Even the negroes themselves
stopped bowling as they saw Nolan's
agony and Vanghau'S almost equal
agony of sympathy. As quick as he
could get words, he said:
"Tell them yes, yes. Tell thorn they
aball go to the Mountains of the Moon
if they will, if I sail the schooner
through the Great White desert they
ghall go home!"
And after some fashion Nolan said
so. And they all fell to kissing him and
wanted to rub his nose with theirs.
But he could not stand It long, and,
getting Vaughan to say he might go
back, he beckoned ine 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,
without a home aud without a coun
try. And if you are ever tempted to
say a word or to do a thing that shall
put a bar between you and your fam
ily. your home and your country, pray
God in his mercy to take you that in
stant home to his own heaven. Stick
by your family, boy. Forget you have
a self, while yoti do everything for
them. Think of your home. boy. Write
ami send and talk about it. Let it be
nearer and nearer to your thought the
farther you have to travel from it, and
rush back to it wnen you are iree, us
that poor black slave la doing now.
And for your country, boy," and the
words rattled lu his throat, "and for
that flag," and he pointed to the ship,
j "never dream a dream but of serving
I her as she bids you. though the service
' carry you through a thousand hells.
! No matter what happens to you, no
matter who flutters you or who abuses
you, never look at auother flag, never
let a night pass but you pray God to
bless that flag. Itemember, boy, that
behind all these men yon have to do
with, behind oflicers and government
and people even, there Is the country
herseif, your country, and that you be
long to her as you belong to your own
mother. Stand by her, boy. as you
would stand by your mother if those
devlis there had got hold of her to
day!''
I wns frightened to death by his
calm, hard passion, but 1 blundered
out that 1 would, by all that was holy,
and that I had never thought of doing
anything else. lie hard.y seemed to
bear me. but he did. almost in a whis
per, say, "Oh, if anybody had said so
to me when I was of you age!"
I think it was this half conl:dence of
his. which I never abused, for 1 never
told this story till now. which after
ward made us great friends. lie was
very kind to me. When we parted
from him in St. Thomas harbor at the
end of our cruise I was more sorry
than I can tell. I was very glad to
meet him again iD 1S30, and later in life,
when I thought I had some influence
In Washington, I moved heaven and
earth to have him discharged. But it
was like getting a ghost out of prison.
They pretended there was no such man
and never was such a man. They wtll
say so at the department now!
There is a story that Nolan met Bnrr
once on one of our vessels, when a
party of Americans came on board In
the Mediterranean. But this I believe
to be a lie; or. rather. It Is a myth, well
found, involving a trrmendons blowing
up with which he sunk Burr—asking
him how he liked to be "without a
country."
