During the a the salute. a sea- man, an Euglishman by birth and an American citizen by adoption, mumed Thomas Dennis, wuo was engaged ia swabbing out one of the guns, ‘was Blown ont of the ship by its premature dis- aharge into the sea, and bad both seme iuown off, so that it became necessary to_bave then) am - ted ger the shoulders. The Prince knew ing of tie accident nntil the next day, when learning of it be jmmediately went om board the vessel at an egtly hour in the morning, and visited the wouned sailor in his berth, and was so afflicted by bi@_misfortune for which he in some sort at- tributed the cause to himself aud his visit to the vesteh. that he could not refrain from giving his feeling: ven" ia tears.

Not content with this, he exerted hi 80 Bue ¢ sshiily im hisbebaif, apres ene mau admission into the hospital at Gibraltar, suryical assistance that could be procured. Dentis spent ive weeks ashore, and was visited daily: by the Prince and his distinguished com- anions. whe evinced the liveliest sympathy for is misfortanes. ‘ The Prince, not satisied with what be had already done for Dennis, told him that he would procure for him the best artificial arm that could be devised in Bi - Dennis was compelied noW'te go on beard ship, she being about to sail for Cadiz; Wat on her retarn to Gibraltar the nee Sought him out, and took bis measure for an ana. which was made for him in Paris.

He then went to Marsetlie aad to Paris, and then to Mahon, where Dennis remained during the succeeding winter. In the spring following he received orders te join his ship; but on his agrival at Marseilles the Princeton bad left, and he visited his benefi- ceut friend at Florence. whom he stayed six we and was treated In the most affectionate by him. Prom thence the Prince, who ad becye bis entire expenses thas far since bis actident, seat him. in ‘with his English seguy, to Paris. from to Brussels, and thence to London, where be was provided with another aru). of the most skiliful English wark- manship, After pemaining, sess time in London, Denuis traveled back to Paris and to Florence, and from thence to Leghorn, where be joined bis ship and siied bome to Boston.
