THE WAYoA1 YANKEE FOUGHT

Once two dismasted New London
whslers put into St. Mays Ga. for re-
pairs. Their officers killed time by cul-
tivating the acquaintance Of the village
sports. ,AqHerce dispute over game Of
cards brought about . challenge, in which
. captain was invited to engage in duel
with ope Pratt, a bitter foe to. Yankees
on general principles, and whiskey-sod-
den representative of Georgia society.
One Eyins, kindred spirit, bore the hos.
tile message, which contrary to all expec-
tstions, WAS accepted by the brawny son of
Neptune. He dismayed the bullies by
selecting next day for time, a sand spit
in full view Of the town as the locale and
hsfpoons as weapons. the antagonists to
be placed thirty PAGES apart, with liberty
to advance as each pleased. Pratt whose
courage was at best but shsky, would
hin have backed out, but shame and
public opinion. aided by copious libations
of old rye, nerved him to repair to the
field of action in full view of the assem-.
,bled people. Vainly. however, did he
ty to await the rush of the muscular
tar. The really savage appearance Of
the hairy, monstrous and red-eyed New
Highlander as he swiftly advanced, ON

too terrific picture, for the dusllist.
With a yell of dimay he took to his
heels, closely pursued by the screaming
''fYsnk,' who reached him in time to ad-
minister several hearty kicks before the
flying foe plunged headlong into the river
and sought the opposite shore. For
weeks afterward, the terrified Conck
skulked in the woods, and so great was
his respect ever after for the once despised
Yankees that he became pilot on
Federal gunboat during the late unpleas-
sntness.
