The call to the old watchwords of national pride and imperial might thrilled the soul of a people of proud tradition in sea battles and land-battles. Appeals for the rescue of "the little nations" struck old chords of chivalry and sentiment though with a strange lack of logic and sincerity Irish demand for self-government was unheeded. Base passions as well as noble instincts were stirred easily.
The dangers in fleet-battles were about half as great as those in land-battles, and these were but little more than half as great as those in fights with single ships. These records of land-battles show that the dangers from that cause are not very great; probably they are less than the world imagines; certainly they are much less than those of the camp.
