1. An old sailor, who had been with Nelson in all his great battles
, was once asked if Nelson was a brave man. “Brave as a lion; gentle as a lamb,” was the old sailor's reply
.
2. “Nelson,” he said, “did not know what fear was. He was ready to face any danger when duty called, and every man in the fleet
knew that their great admiral
was as brave as a lion.
3. “He was as gentle as a lamb too. After a battle he used to go and see those who had been wounded
. A visit from Nelson seemed to cheer them so much that they forgot their pain for the time.”
4. “When Nelson was wounded on board his ship the Victory, in the battle of Trafalgar
, he was carried from the deck
down to the doctor's room.
5. “There were many wounded men there, and the doctor was very busy. As soon as Nelson was brought in, he left the other wounded men, to attend to
the admiral.
6. “Nelson would not allow this
. ‘No, no,' said he; ‘attend to these brave fellows first. I shall wait my turn.' Even in his great sufferin
he thus showed his kindness and his care for others.”
7. Let every one of us learn a lesson from the old sailor's story, and try to be like Nelson, “Brave as a lion; gentle as a lamb.”
