A PROPER COMPLIMENT.
The ‘ Times ’ of March 29 has an editorial on the subject of the adventures of the survivors of the emigrant ship Strathmore, which concludes thus: —*• The vessel which at length arrived to rescue her was a United States whaler, on her course to the South Sea fisheries. Her captain, we are told, gave up the chance of the season’s profits for the sake of the poor creatures he found at the Crozets, and who needed an amount of care they could not have received if he had not taken them with him. Wo are sure the English nation will judge as it deserves of the sacrifice to which Captain Gifford submitted, and will not fail to do honor, and something more than bare honor, to The deed and to the man.”
