One of the boatmen, named Harry Brown, was a good hearted fellow, who took a great fancy to James. This man was, however, so very fond of drink, that he was always getting into trouble. James tried to persuade Harry to give up drinking, and the man listened willingly to the kind advice which he found so hard to follow. ONE OF THE BOATMEN NAMED HARRY BROWN WAS A GOOD HEARTED FELLOW WHO TOOK A GREAT FANCY TO JAMES THIS MAN WAS HOWEVER SO VERY FOND OF DRINK THAT HE WAS ALWAYS GETTING INTO TROUBLE JAMES TRIED TO PERSUADE HARRY TO GIVE UP DRINKING AND THE MAN LISTENED WILLINGLY TO THE KIND ADVICE WHICH HE FOUND SO HARD TO FOLLOW
hat the right belonged to the other boat, and that it should precede them. The captain was so struck with his cousin's manly defence of the right, that he ordered his men to give way. A fight was prevented, and fair play was given to the first comers. Some of the men in his own crew called him a coward, but that had no effect on James. He had long ago settled in his own mind that the greatest coward was the one who did not dare to do right. Not long afterwards James offended one of the men, who at once set upon him. To save himself, James knocked the man down. All the men at once called upon James to pitch into him while he was on the ground. But James replied that he never struck a man when he was down. This was a new idea to the men, who had called him a coward because he would not fight for that which did not belong to him. Ever afterwards they regarded him with respect. Even they, rough and brutal as they were, could appreciate the generous spirit which prompted such noble actions. LY AND DECLARED THAT THE RIGHT BELONGED TO THE OTHER BOAT AND THAT IT SHOULD PRECEDE THEM THE CAPTAIN WAS SO STRUCK WITH HIS COUSIN'S MANLY DEFENCE OF THE RIGHT THAT HE ORDERED HIS MEN TO GIVE WAY A FIGHT WAS PREVENTED AND FAIR PLAY WAS GIVEN TO THE FIRST COMERS SOME OF THE MEN IN HIS OWN CREW CALLED HIM A COWARD BUT THAT HAD NO EFFECT ON JAMES HE HAD LONG AGO SETTLED IN HIS OWN MIND THAT THE GREATEST COWARD WAS THE ONE WHO DID NOT DARE TO DO RIGHT NOT LONG AFTERWARDS JAMES OFFENDED ONE OF THE MEN WHO AT ONCE SET UPON HIM TO SAVE HIMSELF JAMES KNOCKED THE MAN DOWN ALL THE MEN AT ONCE CALLED UPON JAMES TO PITCH INTO HIM WHILE HE WAS ON THE GROUND BUT JAMES REPLIED THAT HE HAD NEVER STRUCK A MAN WHEN HE WAS DOWN THIS WAS A NEW IDEA TO THE MAN WHO HAD CALLED HIM A COWARD BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT FIGHT FOR THAT WHICH DID NOT BELONG TO HIM EVER AFTERWARDS THEY REGARDED HIM WITH RESPECT EVEN THEY ROUGH AND BRUTAL AS THEY WERE COULD APPRECIATE THE GENEROUS SPIRIT WHICH PROMPTED SUCH NOBLE ACTIONS
