files against the wall caught fire and were
blazing when first seen. The chemical ex-
tinguished the fire. The exact damage
1t not known, as the articles burned were
various papers and letters relating to the
firms business. Sufficient alarms were
turned in to warrant the belief that the
whole town was on fire.

PRIvATEs OF THE ROYAL ENGLISH MARINES.
through hailstorm of bullets and pro-
jectiles from the enemy's guns, and in
another is called back to the deck,
where he fills vacancy in some shat
tered gun division.
Since the establishment of the two
marine battalions in 1875 by the conti-
mental congress these sea soldiers have
found many opportunities for showing
their valor. They fought CALAMITY with
John Paul Jones; they were the first to
reach the decks of the Bonhomme
Richard when she fought her memorable
duel with the Scraps and it was the
marines, fighting like demons, who Fore
ed the British to strike their colors. 1t
was a corps of marines, too, during our
brief and half forgotten oriental cam
paign of 1903 that drove the Moham-
medans out of their Notifications at
Derne, hauled down the crescent and
for the first time raised the stars and
stripes upon an eastern citadel. That is
why the banners of the corps bear the
word "Tripoli" to this day.
AT the disastrous battle of Bull Run
a battalion consisting of $50 marines,
the majority of whom were recruits,
under Major Reynolds, acted as a sup
port of Griffin's battery and were
among the last to quit the field, having
suffered a loss of killed-one of whom
was Lieutenant Hitchcock-I9 wounded
and 10 missing. In the attack of the
Confederate ram Merrimac upon the
Union fleet the marines sustained a
heavy loss, 8 having been killed on
board the Cumberland by the first shot,
while on the Congress the entire guard
was wiped out of existence.
The historic fight between the Alaba-
ma and the Kearsarge off the coast of
France was opened by the marines,
who comprised the crew of the formers
forecastle rifle gun, with which they
inflicted great injury to the enemy's
vessel.
The largest number of United States
marines assembled at one time in action
was witnessed during the two attacks
on Fort Fisher toward the close of the
war, when, together with the sailors of
the Union fleet, they formed an assault
ing column 400 strong, and in the
fierce fighting which ensued lost lieu
tenant and 90 privates.
Many expressions of gratitude and APP
probation have from time to time been
rendered the marines, congress ON 10
different occasions having passed joint
resolutions thanking or commencing
them for their invaluable services.
