we're not. as was generally supposed, from
shin in distress. but wore oecasioned by ne
groes bursting old shells on Morris' Island.
They are in the habit of glthering number
Of shells and burning them in the ground.
They then build FIRE over the spot, which
heats the shells through and causes them to
explode. The fragments are gathered up and
sold as "old uon." The shells exploding one
atte another in q lick succession, sounds very
much ike the rapid firing OF guns, and leads to
the belief that q vessel is in distress, and is
firing to attract assistance to her. Measures
should be taken to stop this dangerous amuse'
ment among the negroes.
