Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1861-10-17


Suddenly the sound Of cannon was
heard, and as she looked upon the sound
she saw that ship oiwar had hove TO
above the narrow gorge at the Gate. A
sigal for pilot was flying at the fore
top, and the hated cross of st. George
flew from the Spanker gafi'
With one wild cry of fierce delight, the
fair girl bounded from the room.
"Lile for lilel Nathan Hall shall be
revcnged."
What was her idea? Within another
room in the house, was the clothing Of a
brother who long since had been laid
under the sod and to this room she flew,
and was soon arrayed in a suit of such
clothing as the young men general wear
when on boating expeditions. Without
tho least hesitation she cut the long glossy
tresses Of her heair, and in brief period
she bore the appearance of any young
man Of the age Of eighteon-not more
than her age. Having made these ar
rangements with rapidity that only a
desperate resolve could cause, she in
stantly left the house, passing down the
avenue before the fathers face, he little
thinking that the apparently spruce look
ing young waterman who chose to breast
such storm, was the person of his ac-
complshed daughter.
