CHAPTER VIII.
A sTuRBoRN PROPOSITION.

A STUBBORN PROPOSITION.
The general was always on the alert
and usually began his work with the
sun and rarely did he stop with the
setting of it, either. The next morn
ing therefore he was at his headquar-
ters at an unusually early hour. For
tune had favored him in that one of
the harbor patrol boats, making dar-
ing reconnaissance about midnight to
discover If possible what had happen
ed to the David, had captured a
whaleboat from one of the Union
ships, bound on a similar errand, and
had brought her crew to the city. BY
questioning them Beauregard learned
of the blowing up of the Housatonic
and the almost certain loss of the tor
pedo-boat. He was sorry that he
missed the Wabash and the admiral,
and intensely grieved over the lack of
any tidings from the David or her
