Tlie Present of the Rescue. — Page 20. 

 This truly noble act was done at the suggestion of Henry Grinnell. He first con- 

 ceived the idea ; proposed it to the United States government ; afterward, at the ur- 

 gent request of the Secretary of State, Mr. Marcy, cordially co-operating with it in 

 the matter, and furnishing the most valuable assistance. His generous labors in be- 

 half of this important project, already acknowledged in a highly flattering manner 

 by England, are too well known to require from me more than this passing tribute.
