The Laird of Macnab's opinion of the Russians.t OUR veteran chief was once in company with a young officer who had lost his leg in the disastrous attack on Bergen-op-Zoom. He was a remarkably fine young man; and being above six feet high, he attracted much sympathy from the laird, who had a sovereign contempt for all diminutive personages. Having surveyed the maimed hero for a great length of time, he muttered within his teeth," A deevilish fine fallow, by the Ld! and nae dost o' gude Heeland blude" (which was the case), and then proceeded" Hoo lost ye the leg, my fine fallow? what wanchancy' ball plaid ye that d-ble plisky ?" "At Bergen-op-Zoom, Macnab; a grape-shot did the business," was the reply." And a deevil o' a business, too, my fine fallow.

Áfter describing the attack and its failure, the youthful martialist went on to say," It was cursedly hard, after all; for within a mile or two of the place were stationed three hundred Russians, with whose assistance we must have carried the fort; but Sir Thomas, no doubt, thought there was no need for them, and wished the British to have all the glory of the achievement. These Russians (added the young soldier) were as fine a body of men as I ever clapt my eyes on.
