<h3>NO "DUTCH COURAGE."</h3>
<p>After the miraculous intervention of the Ericsson <i>Monitor</i>, the
President took a party aboard to inspect the little champion which had
saved the fleet and, perhaps, the capital, where the captain received
them. He apologized for the limited accommodation, and for the lack
of the traditional lemon and necessary attributes for a presidential
visit. But the teetotaler chief merrily replied:</p>
<p>"Some uncharitable persons say that old Bourbon valor inspires our
generals in the field, but it is plain that <i>Dutch courage</i> was
not needed on board of the <i>Monitor!</i>"
