“A few word shall suffice to tell the little that remains… Any attempt at recovering the bodies was absolutely hopeless, and there, deep down in the dreadful caldron of swirling water and seething foam, will lie for all time the most dangerous criminal and the foremost champion of law of their generation. …If I have now been compelled to make a clear statement of his career, it is due to those injudicious champions who have endeavored to clear his memory by attacks upon him whom I shall regard as the best and the wisest man whom I have ever known.”

World’s most beautiful farewell salute.
