saw We had To cross pOntOOn bridge.
and IL was thought best that We should
dismount and cross on foot, and il fell 10
my lot to escort old Mrs. Mitchell over No
sooner had we started than federal bat
terry not far off opened fire upon lis. The
soldiers on the opposite side of the river,
protected by the high railroad embank
ment, became quite frantic at our danger.
and kept screaming to US To run, run,
ladies, for Gods sake, run and get over
here" All of this WAS lost upon old Mrs.
Mitchell She could not hear what they
said for the roar of the cannonading, To
which she had now become accustomed.
Neither did she know that we were under
fire Though the balls were splashing in
the water on each side of us, she did not
notice them. and no one felt called upon
to draw her attention to the fact. She OBJ
jectcd to running, preferring to walk; So
taking her by the hand, we ambled along.
Half way across We passed soldier on
guard, whcrrupon she stopped " ask him
if there was any danger there. He was
stold- looking fellow. but he fairly gaped

C!aring that it was against order TO speak
To the guard For knew that If she ever
discovered the danger she was in, her
knees would give way under her and
would have the pleasure of carrying her
the rest of the way.
AT last we reached the other bank, and
were under cover of the railroad embank
ment. Then the officer in charge of the
pUntoon bridge came up to speak 10 us. He
was an old friend Mrs Mitchell had not
seen for years, and she greeted him cor
dially: How do you do, Capt. Harrisy |
am So glad To see you How is your WIFE;
She is very well, said the astunishcd cap
