Courage and great force alone could not have effected it. It was necessary not only to pul the smallest possible force to hazard, hut its success depended upon a -aery small force being used; the genius uml mental resources of the executive officer couiil alone compen sate the want of force and numbers. To these demands your late husband was found fully adequate; and henee the brilliant re sult.
