"LIVED AND DIED A HERO.
BISHOP GRIMES'S TRIBUTE. "Tho news thnt camo to us this morning like a thunderbolt tellH of a national disaster," said Bishop Grimes • yesterday. "Captain Scott must have had a call that was far deeper, far' / greater than thnt which usually' comes to men in tho Navy, and, liko a bravo man, he obeyed tho call of duty—ho . lived like a hero and died like a hero. 1 met Captain Scott whild he was in Christchurch, nnd'l was struck by tho child-like simplicity of the man —a true sign of greatness. His was a lovcnblo " disposition, and yet one could not help -, marking tbo intensity of purpose, the indomitable resolve, and the quiet con-.'" fidence that characterised him. The ■ world has lost a great man in Captain, • Scott, but it has gained by his heroio example, by h's heroic faithfulness t_ " > duty, and his heroic death." *.. -
