Pilot ot the steamer "Fashion". Lost his life when his ship burned. The following poem was published in the Natchez, Mississippi Courier in his memory.The pilot bravely holds the wheel; Of flames beneath he hears the roar, Yet still he guides her burning keel- "I'll hold her till she strikes the shore."
Around him fly like shooting stars, A thousand sparks eddying soar, And yet he stands mid falling spars, "I'll hold her till she strikes the shore."
Above the din of shouts and shrieks, His comrade warns him o'er and o'er, He calmly to that comrade speaks, "Ill hold her till she strikes the shore."
The goodly ship's a burning wreck, But she has touched the shore; Ah! Where's the hero of the deck? Alas! We'll see him nevermore!
His gallant form is wrapt in flame; Lost in the craft he loved so well; His be the award a hero's fame Who at the post of duty fell.
He's lost. She drifts without control; But ere the bark went down, Angels we trust, caught up his soul, And wreathed it with a martyr's crown.
Rise to his memory the cenotaph, Let poets chant his praises o'er And let his words be his epitath, "I'll hold her till she strikes the shore."
