Dick
Sand
--
that
was
his
name
--
must
have
been
originally
from
the
State
of
New
York
,
and
doubtless
from
the
capital
of
that
State
.
If
the
name
of
Dick
--
an
abbreviation
of
Richard
--
had
been
given
to
the
little
orphan
,
it
was
because
it
was
the
name
of
the
charitable
passer-by
who
had
picked
him
up
two
or
three
hours
after
his
birth
.
As
to
the
name
of
Sand
,
it
was
attributed
to
him
in
remembrance
of
the
place
where
he
had
been
found
;
that
is
to
say
,
on
that
point
of
land
called
Sandy-Hook
,
which
forms
the
entrance
of
the
port
of
New
York
,
at
the
mouth
of
the
Hudson
.
Dick
Sand
,
when
he
should
reach
his
full
growth
,
would
not
exceed
middle
height
,
but
he
was
well
built
.
One
could
not
doubt
that
he
was
of
Anglo-Saxon
origin
.
He
was
brown
,
however
,
with
blue
eyes
,
in
which
the
crystalline
sparkled
with
ardent
fire
.
His
seaman
's
craft
had
already
prepared
him
well
for
the
conflicts
of
life
.
His
intelligent
physiognomy
breathed
forth
energy
.
It
was
not
that
of
an
audacious
person
,
it
was
that
of
a
darer
.
These
three
words
from
an
unfinished
verse
of
Virgil
are
often
cited
:
"
Audaces
fortuna
juvat
"
...
.
but
they
are
quoted
incorrectly
.
The
poet
said
:
"
Audentes
fortuna
juvat
"
...
.
It
is
on
the
darers
,
not
on
the
audacious
,
that
Fortune
almost
always
smiled
.
The
audacious
may
be
unguarded
.
The
darer
thinks
first
,
acts
afterwards
.
There
is
the
difference
!
Dick
Sand
was
audens
.
At
fifteen
he
already
knew
how
to
take
a
part
,
and
to
carry
out
to
the
end
whatever
his
resolute
spirit
had
decided
upon
.
His
manner
,
at
once
spirited
and
serious
,
attracted
attention
.
He
did
not
squander
himself
in
words
and
gestures
,
as
boys
of
his
age
generally
do
.
Early
,
at
a
period
of
life
when
they
seldom
discuss
the
problems
of
existence
,
he
had
looked
his
miserable
condition
in
the
face
,
and
he
had
promised
"
to
make
"
himself
.
