A Coon FELLOW. Captain John Patterson,
Of Belmont county, in this State, got sick
and had to remain at New Orleans, and let
the Ohio volunteers 60 out When he GOT able
to travel, he took passage with some Of the
Indiana troops, in small vessel The craft
was cast ashore on Padre Island all expected
to be lost, as the had nothing but small boat
TO 60 ashore with. The boat was lowered, but
they could take but few in, and even thew
were in a dangerous situation. Patterson was
getting into the boat, when captain of one of
the Indiana companies addressed him thus -
captain, il you get on shore safe. you win
inform my family of my death, and how ii
came about" Patterson Immediately asked
him if he had a family---he replied he had.
Patterson told him that he was single man,
and Immediately got out Of the boat, and.
made the Indiana Captain take his place,
remarking that he wosld stay and sink with
the vessel, as he had no wife and children
to mourn his loss Fortunately, however,
the storm abated they raised the flag Of dis
tress, revenue cutter was sent to their aid,
and all was saved. IL was an act on the part
Of the Ohioian that should be remembered,
for few, very few, would do as the gallant
Captain did.-Cin. Com.
