third time for he could divorce her

for him to take her again until she
had been married again and divorced
by such seconl husband Previous
to this there was no limit to The num-
ber Of wives one man might have, and
his control over them was absolute,

The wagon brought our rations. The
mules were driven by what was popu-
larry called a jerk line. The driver
would ride a mule, wheeler in four
mule team, and would drive the lead
ers by single line, indicating his de-
sires to the leaders by witches on the
! line So expert did those drivers be-
| come that it was no uncommon sight
to see teams of six, and ten mules
! driven by a single man astrde a rear
mule, and using only a single rein in

as useful as the man to the Federal
army, and during the civil war tho
mule had the distinction of being the
highest priced four-legged animal in
the United States of America.
when an expedition for the capture
of Port Royal, S. c., was organized at
Washington, 1900 men were brought
together, and the strangest fleet Of
modern times. There were IS men-of-
war, armed with a total of 161 guns
The flagship was the wooden ftigate
wabash, carrying three tiers of guns
ON each side, total armament of 46
guns The ships of the present day
rarely carry over IL. The Sixth Con-
necticut was a part of that eXpedi-
ton We put to sea and started around
Cape Hatteras the stormiest place in
the world. There We're no steam YES
sells then to be used as transports.
Anything that would float was taken
and there was gathered together as het-
erogeneous a mass of vessels as was
ever assembled Among the number
was the magnificent yacht Vanderbilt,
q present to the government from Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, and she carried on
the expedition four regiments of 1,040
men each.
Another vessel was the Governor,
a side wheel steamer, and between the
two classes of vessels there were all
kinds, varieties and descriptions that |
could be gathered. There We're many
in that fleet that a sane man would not |
have thought of sending five miles out

but the risk had to be taken. At Cape !
Hatteras we met a storm which lasted /
two days, and promised to make an
end of the whole fleet, but it weather.

vessels out of a total of 10 The padd1a

frigate Sabine and only six were lost
ut was my fortune to see portion
of that rescue The Sixth Connecticut,
the left wing of the expedi-

the fleet. She was about as large as
an oyster boat. In the storm her com
mander saw that she could not live
unless some very radical measures were
taken to save her, and so first her guns
were all thrown overheard then her
forward and after buIkheads We're
taken out and with the boards thus
secured the engine room and bunkers
were boarded up to the ceiling, the en-
gineer and fireman being boarded in
side with their engines.
THE result was that when the water
came aboard the little craft it swept
completely through her, and not having
any place to stop, could not sink the
boat. After the storm, when the fleet
was being again gathered together the
little Smith came dancing over the
waves as prettily and saucily as if she
We're the biggest frigate in the fleet.
Port Royal harbor is one of the best
on the southern coast, and the rebels
sad recognized its value, for it had
been fortified on each side of its mouth.
1t was necessary for the Union army
| to find Judgment there in order to
threaten savannah and Charleston.
On November 5, 1851, the harbor was
reached but it was necessary to buoy
out the channel, and that was done
with small boats, so that on the 18th
the fleet was ready to begin it's attack
on the forts The fleet consisted Of Is
wooden vessels, one of them being a
sailing sloop, which went into the ac-
ton in tow Of the Isaac 3. Smith. The
transports were so near the scene of
the action that we could see the whole
battle between the land and naval
forces.
The Admiral Dupont sailed in first,
opened fire on the left shore and sailing
around in a circle, repeated the fire on
the forts on the other side The other
vessels followed suit in order and three
times the fleet sailed past the forts.
After the third fire the response from
Fort Walker ceased, and a few minutes
later Fort Beauregard ceased also, the
rebels being outclassad and outmatch- |
ed by the Yankee tars. The army was
concentrated a little way up the river, !
and remained there for some time.
IN 1853 a determined effort was
made 10 capture Charleston, S, c., and |
in order to do that It was necessary |

making it possible for a fleet to reach .
by water. The attack ON
Morris Island was made in small boats
on July 10, '63, and in that action the
Sixth and Seventh Connecticut regi-
ments took part, and also the First
Connecticut Light Battery. Passing
Folly and Morris island the island was
assaulted and the larger portion of it
captured. on July Is, after an unsuc-
1essful attempt to capture the fort on
he island, 5000 men were detached to
AIRY it by assault, and in that charge.
1000 men actually took part. Among /
