FIRING UroS THE MAJOR RgYBoLD."-In
her last trip from the extensive camp-meeing
near Salem, New Jersey, near the mouth of
Salem creek, the attention of the passengers on
this boat was arrested by the heavy spl,shing of
the water around, which was ascribed to the
presence of large fish A peculiar Kissing sonud
accompanying the display within u few feet Of
the boat aroused them 20 the unpleasant c)nviG-
tiOn that the splashng was caused by she'll falling
IN the water. lhe captain Interpreted it as sig
mai 10 return to the fort. He accordingly

bad escaped before leaving the city IA the pur-
suit, the gunboat fired four shOts-throc Of them

her, and IL shows the accuracy Of their gunnery

disastrous, as there was large number of people
on board, returning from camp meeting.
