Description

Excerpt from The Flowers of Literature, Vol. 2 of 4: Consisting of Selections From History, Biography, Poetry, and Romance; Jeux D'esprit, Traditionary Relics and Essays, With Translations From Approved Authors IN all the history of perils and sufferings encountered at sea, fertile as it is in terrific events, there is as suredly no darker page than that which contains the narrative of the shipwreck of the Medusa frigate. It may, indeed, justly be doubted whether any similar cc currence was ever marked by such circumstances of extreme horror.. In many instances of shipwreck the mind 1s somewhat relieved and solaced by the contem plation of the patience, the fortitude, and the mutual kindness, displayed by the individuals who are the theme of the story, but, ln this instance, no such con solation 1s afl'orded. All the bad passions seem to have conspired with natural dangers, to render the' situation of the crew of the Medusa as terrible as imagination itself can possibly conceive.
