Captain Hale alone without sympathy or support save that from above on the near approach of death asked for a clergyman to attend him. It was refused. He then requested a Bible that too was refused by his inhuman jailer.

The fame of heroes owes little to the extent of their conquests and all to the success of the tributes paid to them.
