Replying to a query in a recent isaue of the Montreal S.ar aiking for the correct pArticular* of the rescue of an American ' ' ..ndemiied to be shot in Cuba or Hayti," a correapoDilent of tliat piper says : The incident of ' The Two Klags " hap- pened in Yalparaiao, Chili, and wa* related by the Kev. .1. O. Peck, D. !>.. in a sermon preached by him in the old Saint James St. MethodUl Church, on Sunday evening, February 20th, I8NI. Mr John Keade had a poem on the incident in the <!n~sttr. The account of the story here given is from a contemporary, February -1st, IsSI. " If any of you," he * ml, " will go down to St. .l.ilmsliury, Vermont, yon may see the man who gave me the fact* I am about to relate. He was an Ame.-ican sailor, and he had sailed to a port in Chili. On going aihore to en joy hi* day of liberty, he became not to *y intoxicated, but a little hilarious. One of the police ofti :ei.i, insie.td of remon- strating wilh him and telling him not la make a noise in the s-.reet, this petty tyrant drew I is sword and, striking him a blow, knocked him down. Mr. Haakme*. M an American sailor ought to have done under the circumstances, got up and knocked him down in return. He wai arrested and tru.d in a language ot which he co'ild not under- sland a word, with scarcely any defence to peak of. He wai convicted and condemned to be hot at ei hi o'clock on the morning after the following day Mr. Loring was the American consul there, and he cent to ihe authorities and espnetulated wilh them thai il would be monitroiu to shoot the man. But theae petty lyranls paid no attention to his cxp .slulaUonn. On the following morning, ihe day before the execution, he went again and made a formal protest in the name of the American government agnnit the execution. Hut the petty tyrant* would not respect even this. The next morning came, and to use Mr. Masking*' words, " I was brought out to the field pinioned and bound to a poat. They slipped a black cloth over my face, and I heard them order the sol- diers lo get ready." It was the custom for ihe various contultrotficen to send up their f)sgs at eight o'clock in the morning. The oftice of the Knglish consul was right oppo- lie that of the American consul, and just as the former was preparing to hoist the Union .lack he looked out and law a large crowd assembled on the field where the ex- ecation wai to take place. Rushintr over to the American consul he (aid : " Great (iod ! Loring, you're not going to let them hoot thai man ? " " What can Id)?" re- plied the American consul, " I have pro- tested against it : I can do no more." Quick an thought the Kugiish consul shouted, " l-i\e me your tU< ? " ami in a trice, thu Stan and Stripea were handed to Kngland'i representative, and taking bis own nag in hu hand, ho hail, n d a-rosi ihe Held, el- bo* ed his way thiougo the crowd and the oldiery, and, running up to the doomed man, he folded the American dag around him, and then laid the t'nion Jack over it. Standing aside a few yards he faced the tyrants, and shouted defiantly, " Now shoot, if you dare, through the heart of Kngland and America.' " And they dareu t," exclaims. 1 the preacher, while the immense crowd in the gallery, forgetting the place and occasion, burst into applause. He continued : " tlr llaikings said to me, with tear* slreaming down his cheek*. ' they looesd me then, and oh ! how I longed to embrace those two flags.' " In an iuue of the Montr al lia/ette, short ly after the relation of the incident, Mr. John Reade cnrnmrinorated it in the follow- ing poem : 9 Till Two H.Vlg. I.
