in 1759, a french squadron of five frigates invaded ireland. in 1760, they attacked the town of carrickfergus. when the combatants were opposed to each other in the streets, and every inch of ground was disputed by the british, a little child suddenly ran out of a house, and playfully stood between the conflicting parties.
seeing the imminent danger of the child, a french soldier grounded his piece, left the ranks, took the child in his arms, and ran to the nearest door with him, which happened to be his father's. he placed the child in safety, and then returned with all possible haste to resume his part in the fight. he was soon afterwards seriously wounded, and was seen to take a picture from his bosom and died kissing it.
