Read the passage below and do the activities that follow. [15]
It has been part of Nelson’s
prayer that the British fleet might be distinguished by humanity in the victory
that he expected. Setting an example himself, he twice gave orders to cease
firing upon the Redoubtable, supposing that she had struck because her
great guns were silent; for as she carried no flag, there was no means of
instantly ascertaining the fact. From this ship, which he had thus twice
spared, he received his death. A ball fired from her mizzen-top which, in the
then situation of the two vessels was not more than fifteen yards from that
part of the deck where he was standing, struck the epaulet on his left shoulder
about a quarter after one, just in the heat of action. He fell upon his face on
the spot which was covered with his poor secretary’s blood. Hardy, who was a
few steps from him turning round, saw three men raising him up. “They have done
for me at last, Hardy!” said he. “I hope not!” cried Hardy. “Yes,” he replied;
“my backbone is shot through!” Yet even now not for a moment losing his
presence of mind, he observed as they were carrying him down the ladder, that
the tiller-ropes which had been shot away, were not yet replaced and ordered
that new ones should be roped immediately. Then that he might not be seen by
the crew, he took out his handkerchief and covered his face and his stars. Had
he but concealed these badges of honor from the enemy, England perhaps would
not have had cause to receive with sorrow the news of the battle of Trafalgar.
The cockpit was crowded with wounded and dying men; over whose bodies he was
with some difficulty conveyed, and laid upon a pallet in the midshipman's
berth. It was soon perceived, upon examination, that the wound was mortal.
This, however, was concealed from all, except Captain Hardy, the chaplain, and
the medical attendants. He himself, being certain, from the sensation in his back,
and the gush of blood he felt momentarily within his breast, that no human care
could avail him, insisted that the surgeon should leave him and attend to those
to whom he might be useful. [Credit: Fifty-two Stories of the British
