He wiped his bleeding nose and tried
to adjust his disordered hair.
From every direction came ominous
sounds. Shots, shouts, screams, the noise
Of crashing doors and breaking windows.
Women and children. both white and
black, ran wildly hither and thither.
"What can all this mean?" the old man
exclaimed, fumbling for his departed
snuff box. What has happeued?"
Prescott gave no ear to these inquiries.
He simply cried out to the driver:
"Faster, You old scoundrel, or I'll prick

Flung herself betsoeen the cOntbaeantS
Rose Fenwicke, as the first roll of mus
kerry came pattering in from the east
ward side of the town, sprang to her feet
as il O bullet of the enemy had struck her.
She had been thinking of Prescott and
blaming herself, she scarcely knew how,
for the bitter necessity that had caused her
to send him away from the door on that

were having their secret meeting thera

windows and sending the blood in al
most painful surges through her veins.
From some cause the thought Of disaster
TO the American army flashed into her
mind along with the first spiteful crash
of the guns. Would Prescott be killed.
Her heart gave great leap, as if to 60
out in search of him. How terrible. how
unbearable it would be If he were to die
before she could see him and explain her
treatment Of him. 1t came upon her with
irresistiblepo power that she must go tohln.
She did not pause to imagi where he
might be, nor to consider the apparent
impossibility of finding him in the tn
multi and turmoil of battle; much less
did any thought of danger to herself
cross the field of her consciousness. For
a long while she stood motionleSs, held
no by the grip of her emotion, which was
too powerful to evince itself by any
active outward sign. Her mother passed
rapidly through the room saying some
thing in an excited voice, the servants
were in noisy commotion; but she gave
no heed to her immediate surroundings.
The sound Of battle rolled nearer and
nearer, the musketry playing now here,
now there, in ftful flashes, like the show

CHAPTER ~.

On the Esd of December word came
to Gen. Howe that the British feet had
anchored off Tybee island. With the
next tide it would come over the bar and
take possession Of the river. Little had
been done by the Americans to erect de-
lenses around the town. There had been
a line of earthworks. but this had been
suffered to fall to ruins and was now
practically useless, nor was there time
for any repairs. The coming Of the
enemy was as much surprise as If it
had been sudden descent in'the night.
Before Gen. Howe could ascertain the
lumber or position Of the enemy's
forces. and while he was trying in vain
to dispose of his own little army to the
best advantage, the guns began to bat
ter away savagely at the BLUR on Zirar-
deaux plantation, only two or three
miles down the river from Savannah.
In moment all was confusion in the
town and its suburban settlements The
approach of battle under any circum-
stances would have caused alarm, but
now it was, to degree, a panic, with
no wise management to control it. At
first this feeling did not extend to the
troops: on the contrary, they behaved
we'll until their line was broken and they
were thrown into disorder
Lieut.. Prescott was detained by Gen.
Howe to act on his staff, wherefore it
CHANGED to fall to his lot to be sent in the
direction of Governor Wright's planta-
ton Just at the time when Lieut..
Col. Campbell ordered the attack on the
American lines. He was mounted on a
feet horse and bearing orders TO Col
Ebert. His way lay along the edge Of Il
swamp through which the enemy were
making efforts to pass, and in which they
were already skirmishing with some
American scouts. Riding in great haste
and rather recklessly he pushed his horse
into boggy place and was delayed for
many minutes in extricating him. In
the meantime the British had attacked
with great vigor, going right through
the lines and completely routing the
American forces. Not only this they
were already across the swamp ahead OF
him and were rushing on toward the
city. He saw at once that his one chance
of escape lay in reaching the Savannah
road before it was fully in their posses
sion. He knew the country perfectly and
so was able to choose the shortest and
safest route. Putting spurs to his horse
he made dash for that point where the
road in question cut the line Of old earth
works. If he could pass there in advance
of the British he could reach Savannah
long before they could get there.
True to his youth and the love which
had made youth doubly sweet to him
Prescott no sooner set his face toward
the town than he began to think of Rose
Fsnwicks. It rushed into his heart that
