Excerpt from The Three Dorset Captains at Trafalgar: Thomas Masterman Hardy, Charles Bullen, Henry Digby Of all the subordinate characters in the tragedy of Trafalgar, the personality of Thomas Masterman Hardy is unquestionably by far the most interesting, striking, and attractive. The "Kiss me, Hardy" of the dying Nelson has perhaps taken a firmer hold on the popular imagination than either the "Remember" of Charles Stuart, or the real or supposed "My country, oh my country" of William Pitt. Another of the "greatest sailor's" utterances during the brief interview which preceded Hardy's return to his duties on deck, within about half an hour of "his Lord's" death, is scarcely less distinctly graven on men's minds. It was, as we are told by the able author of Nelson and his Captains, the timely quotation of the words, "Anchor, Hardy, anchor," more than forty years later, by which Sir Herbert Edwardes steadied in a moment of supreme difficulty the iron nerve of the worn-out and over-wrought Sir John Lawrence. No sooner did the belated news of the battle reach England than the whole kingdom was flooded with popular mementoes of the great event which had saved her from the long-feared foreign invasion, while depriving her of her foremost sailor. In all these souvenirs - songs, broadsides, glass-pictures, engravings, or pottery - the favourite theme was that of the most familiar death scene in naval history - Nelson expiring in the arms of Hardy.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER IV Hardy's Schooldays At Crewkerne And Milton Abbas. His Early Experiences In The Navy And Merchant Service 1778-1790] THE spring of 1778 witnessed the removal of the whole of the Hardy family from Kingston Russell to Possum. The eldest of Joseph Hardy's children, Elizabeth, was just of age and about to marry John Thresher, who belonged to another ancient Portisham family, established there some years before the defeat of the Spanish Armada by Lord Howard of Effingham off Portland Bill might have been clearly seen from the high land above the village, the leading inhabitant of which, one John Studley, had contributed 2$ to the national defence fund. Her next sister, then a girl of twenty, remained all her life unmarried, but the third and fourth daughters of Joseph and Nanny Hardy?Mary and Catherine?in 1778, aged eighteen and sixteen respectively, in the course of the next few years became the wives of James Balston and John Callard Manfield, the latter of whom was destined to become Thomas Hardy's legal adviser and the recipient of his confidential correspondence. Their two youngest sisters, Martha and Augusta (the latter in 1778 a baby), never married. Of Thomas Hardy's two brothers, Joseph, the elder (aged fourteen in 1778) was five years his senior. In after life he married Miss White of Cerne and resided at Charminster, where he died some years after the demise of the captain of the Victory. John, the youngest ofJoseph Hardy's sons (a child of seven when his parents went to live at Portisham) never married, and after he reached manhood farmed the Hardy lands in and near their native village until he died, on the 25th April 1822. If the childhood of Thomas Hardy and his brothers and sisters at Kingston Russell is clean forgotten as far as the dwellers in the...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
