Coming to the question of transporta-

tion in relation to the Island ho said we had not been neglected. Our sum- mer stemners were excellent, and our coasts and harbor \voll lighted. Ile de. tailed the steps taken in regard to the new winter steamer, the inquiries to ob' tain lnformnilon and the bringing out of an expert from the greatest building firm in linglnnd.

There is a dramatic slszniflcance in the

fact that the ycarwhich witnesses a grate- fnlnat|on'i-1, or let us say rt grateful world-wide It`|upire`s, commemoration of the lililth anniversary of thedcath of the great hero who destroyed the power of France at Trafalgar, also witnessed an unparalleled manifestation of ccrdialit-y and good will between the two nations who struggled so fiercely on land and sea against each other 100 years ago.

The victory at Trafalgar in 1805 was,

under Providence, the outcome of the genius of Nelson, Admiral and fighter; the ententc cordialc with Francs in 1005 was the outcome of the genius of ld- \vard, King and Diplomat, apd the events thus separated by a century and marked hysueh contrast of met-hods in attainment have a common consum- mation-n. guarantee of peace in Europe.

The commemoration of Nelsorfs famous

victory in 1805 ami of his lamentable death in the hour of triumph loses noth- ing of intensity and carnestness by the historic evcntof18i15, and ‘on the other hand tho reception to Fraoce's sailors loses nothing of sincerity bythe com- mcuxoratlon of the victory and tragedy of 1805. V No foreign nation can enter with

deeper sympathy into the spirit which isanimating Britons in honourlng the memory of Nelson than can Franco with hcrownlongllst of heroes of the past, and we believe that there are few studen- tsof history in France who would not join Nclson's countrymen in saying: “On theeshall grateful memory dwell And ages yet unborn shall tell

How Nelson fought, how Nelson foil

In the hour ofvletory."

The Story of the Battle _

Of the battle of Trafalgar itself thc

most authentic account is that coa- talnedln the oflicial despatch of Ad- mlral Lord Collingwood who assumed command of the English fleet upon thcdoath bf the superior ofllcer. 'l‘he

THE CENTENNIAL OF TRAFALGAR

diately made the signal for the fleet to bear up in two columns, as they are form- ed in order of sailing; a mode of attack his Lordship previously directed, to avoid the lneonvenlenceand delay in forming a llnc of battle in the usual manner.

“The encmy's line consisted of thirty-i

three ships (of which eighteen were' French and fifteen Spanish), commanded I in chief by Admiral Villeneuve; the i Spaniards,nnder the dirccilon of Gravina, were, with their heads to the northward, ‘ and formed their line of battle with greati closeness and correctness; but as the, mode of attack was unusual, so the struc-, ture of their line was new; it formed sl crescent convexing to lceward, so that.. in leading down to their centre, I had I both their van and rear nbaft the beam.: Before the fire opened, evcrv I alternate ship was about a eable‘s; length to wlnd\vard of her second a-head I and a.~stcrn,forming a kind of double line, and appercd, when on theirbcam, to leave , a very little interval between them; and 1 this without crowding their jships. Ad- I mlrai Villeneuve was in the “Bueontaure" I in the eentre,and the “Prince of Asturias"

French and Spanish ships were mixed without any apparent regard to order of national squadlon.

“Tho Commander-in-Chief, Lord Nelson,

in thc “Vletory," lcd the weather column; and the “Royal Sovereign," which bore my flag, the lee.

The action began at 12 o’clock, by thc

leading ships of the columns breaking through the enemy's line, the Commander- in~Chief about the tenth ship from the van, the second In command about the twelfth from the roar, leaving the \'an oi the enemy unoccupied; the succeeding ships breaking through in all parts,astern of their leaders, and, engaging thc enemy at thc muzzlcs of their guns, the conflict was severe; the enerny's ships were fought with a gallantry highly hon- orable to their officers, but thc attack

despatch' was dated Oct. 22nd, 1805, the day after NeIson's victory and death, from Euryains, oil’ Cape Trafalgar.

"On Monday, the 21st lnstant,at. day-

light, when Cape Trafalgar bore E. by S. about seven leagues, tho enemy were dis- covered six or seven miles to the east- \vard, the wind about west, and very light; thc Commander-l,n»Chle_f imme-

on them was irresistible; ami it pleased the Almighty Disposer of all events to grant His Majesty`s arms o complete and glorious victory. About three p. m., many of \he enemy`s ships having struck their colours, their line gave way; Admiral Gravlna with ten ships, joining their frigatcs to lee\vard, stood towards Cadiz. Tho five headmost

bore Gravina`s flag in the rear; but thc_

ships in their van tacked, and standing to the southward, to windward of the Brit- ish line, were engaged, and the stcrnmosi. of them taken;the others went oil' leaving to Ilia Majesty’s squadron nineteen ships of the line (of which two are first rates,the "Santlsslma Trlnidada" and the “Santa Anna"), with three flag officers; viz., Admiral Villeneuve, the Com|nnnder»in-Chief;Don Ignatlo Marla d'Aliva, Vice-Admiral; and the Spanish Rear-Admiral, Don llsltazar Hidalgo Cisneros. _

The “Royal Sovereign" having lost her

masts, except the tottering foremost, I called the “Euryalus"to me, while the action continued, which ship, lying with- in hail, made my signals, a service Cap- tain Blackwood performed with great at- tention. After thc action I shifted my flag to her, that I might more easily com- municate my ordcrs.to, and collect the shlps,and towed the “Royal Sovereign" out to sea\vard_ The whole fleet were now in a very perilous situation. many dlsmasted, all shattered, in thirteen fathoms of water, off the shoals of Trafal- gar, and when I made the signal to pro- pare to anchor, few of the ships had an anchor to let go, their cables being shot; but the sihne good Providence which ald- ed us through such n day preserved us in the night, bythe wind shifting a few points and drifting the ships off thc land, except four of the captured dismasted ships, which are now anohorcd off Trafal- gar, and I hope will ride safe until those gales arc over.

Having thus detailed tho proceedings

of the ficctfon this occasion, I beg to con- gratulate their Lordshlps on a victory which, I hope, will add a ray to the glory of llis Mn,jeaty`s Crown, and bo attended with public benefit to our country."

The despatch also contained a generous

tribute not only to the deceased Com- mander-ln-Chief, but to the other oiilccrs and men who had fallen at the post of duty.

How Nelson Died.

Qf the last moments of Lord' Nelson

the followlnguecount was given by the Naval Chronicle.

“lie was walkinrr the quarter-deck,

and about three yards from the stern, the space he generally walked before he turncdlvack. His Lordship was in the

act of turning, with his face towards the nemy, when i\o was moi-tally wound-

in Church Dressing

broker of Halifax, was found dead in the dressing room of thc Church of England this forenoon. fl

The _janitor of the building who went Eu

i.urn on the water stumbled over his

body.

Mr. Tucker had for some time been

under treatment. for mental depression and u bottle which had contained can-boiie acid was found at l\ie sids.

He was highly esteemed in business,

church 'and social life. A widow survives him.

1‘he Swedish bnrquc Orion, bound from Cadiz io St. John with salt, which had

cd in thc left breast by a musket-bail. supposed to have been fired from tl.- mlzen top of the “RedouI:able," Fren It ship of the line, which the "Victory" lnui attacked early in the battle. Hc instant- ly fell, ami two sailors who were near his Lordship raised him in their arms nnd carried him to the cockpit, where he was immediately laid upon a. bed.

The followingis thesubstance of thocon-

versation which really took place in the ooekpltt, bet\vccn his Lordship, Cap- tain liardy, Mr. Bourke and Mr. Beatty: -Upon seeing him brought down Mr. Bourke immediately ran to him, "I fear," he said, “your:Lordshlpls wounded.” Mor' tullyl morl:aliyl" “I hope act, my Lord: ict Mr. Beatty examine your wounds." “it is no use," exclaimed the dying Nel- son; “he had better attend to others." Mr. Beatty now approached to examine the wound. His Lordship was raised up and Beatty, whose attention was anxi- ously fixcd on the eyes of his patient as an indication, the most certain, when a wound is mortal, after n few moments glanced his eye on Bourke, and expressed his opinion in his countenance. Lord Nelson now turned to Bourke and said “Tell Hardy to come to me." Bourke left tha cocaplt. Beatty now said “Suffer mc, my Lord, to probe the \vound with my finger: I will glvo you no pain." Lord Nelson permitted him, and, passing his left hand round his waist, hc probed it with the fore-linger of his right.

When Bourke returned with Captain

Hardy, Lord Nelson told the latter to come near him-“Kiss me I-Indy," he exclaimed.--Captain Hardy kissed his cheek. “I hope your Lordship," he said, “will still live to enjoy your triumph." “ Never. Hardy," he exclaimed; “I am dying; I am a dead man all over, Beatty will tell you so; bring the fleet to an an-' chcr; you' have all done your duty; God bless you." Captain Hardy now said “I suppose Collingwood, my dear Lord, is to command the deeti“ “Never_" exclaimed he, "whilstl live"; meaning doubtless, `i,hat, so long as his gallant spirit surv` ved, he would never desert his duty What passed after this was fmerely cas- ual. Ills LordshIp's last words were to Beatty, while he was expiring in his arms-“I could have wished to have lived to enjoy this; but God‘s will be done." “My Lord," exclaimed Hardy. “you dis in the midst of triumph." “Do I, Hardy!"-he smiled falntiy~“Gc<l be
