For Il fortnight BurwelIs heard the
grind and rush of the armies so near.
AT length this lullcd. CornW allis had
withdrawn sullcnly into Yorktown.
Then in early September Il momcn-
tous message flew from lip to lip.
Washington was coming! The wary
against New York, had led Sir Henry
Clinton to recall part of his force from
tbe Chesapeake and then, turning front,
had marched with speed for Virginia,
where CORVALLIS lay with all llis army
III the elbow Of the bay, leisurcly forti-
flying.
Back OF this swift march of 400 miles
lay vital tidings. y new French fleet
was on its way to the Chesapeake.
Lafayette drew his troops between tho
British and a retreat into the CarOlinas.
The patriot army was fastening down
upon them from the north Would
Clinton scent danger and send ships to
snatch CORVALLIS from the closing
jaws, or would the French fleet come
In time to block the sea way out?
But Virginia knew nothing of this Mt
first. She only knew that Washington
was coming.
One night Anne was awakened to an
unusual sight. Out OH the jasper col
orcd river came Il succession of huge
barges, and from them, above the p.ash
OF oars and creak of cordage, rose the
hum of multitude. She leaned far
from the window to listen. How like
phantom shadows the bristing floats
swept past! "What can it beY" she
cried.
""Fis the French, come in ,the fleet of
De Grasse," said Mr. BuI'well. at
must now be at anchor In Hampton
Roads. Thank God! Thank .God!"
There was n thrill of rejoicing III his
tone, but Anne's heart beat painfully.
Hope and help We're come to her land
to Virginia the beautiful, the.tragic, the
tender. The first promise of this help
had come to it when strong arm called
to counsel and counsel to strong arm
and both feared to answer. And he
who bOre,thnt message? Denied by her
lips tina: called to him, dlshonored by
her hantlJthat ached for touch of him,
what thought now had his heart for
her?
The dark shapes passed on to the
notch of Jamestown island that night
and dhsgorged, an army. Silently they
filed up ArcheE's Hope creek and drew,
with Lafayettes troops, the fatal Gordon
about Yorktown.
The fleet that brought them lay in
the river mouth below, and when the
British ships ;wlich CORVALLIS had
been promised hove 10 that snme,day,
with fourteen hundred guns, De
Grasses watchful frigates battered
tlcm away.
The would be- rescuers sailed back.
and CORVALLIS Ewoke to find himself
entrapped.

On the day Washingtons allied ar
mics marched into williamsburg, Anne
stood with Colonel Tillotson on the
steps of the capitol to see them pass.
The Contncntals were ragged, worn
with painful marches in heat and rain,
with stained rags covering old wounds,
but with the unQucnchablc resolve in
their faces Rochambcau's French were
uniformed in white, with rose colored
facings, eager, debonair, carrying gold
wrought standards that caught the sun.
Anne watched through smartng eyes.
Somewhere, waiting these, among those
other troops lying painting against the
hills nearer Yorktown was the one
face which meant the whole war-thc
whole world-to her.
Steadily, under the encmy's fire, bat
tcrles rose along the parallels. From
| one to another of these rode Knox,
placing his gunncrs, his round. jovial
face creased in smiles, in his element
at last. And these gunncrs for five
days, from sunrise TO sunset, buried
iron and flame upon the dcfcnscs.
The inner parallels cropt toward the
river bank tightening the line. Here
their advance was stayed by rcdoubt
on the high bank, thirty feet above the
river. 1t had resisted all the force OF
the gunncrs.
Tf we take that rcdoubt," said Wash
ington to Knox OH the afternoon of the
fifth day of the bombardmcnt, Corn
wallis must surrender"
Colonel Armand, with Il handful of
his troopers, rcconnoitcred that after
noon CT the right, came near the river
and in advance OF the foremost 4Nmeri-
can battery. From the rcdoubts far
to the left came Il scattering whistle OF
grape and now and then the grinding
bech of carronadc. The air was full
of the heavy, pungent smell of burned
powder and the recking scent of fresh
turned earth.
His gaze had sought the wide river
for moment and turned up the
stream with look that was fixed and
far away.
"a prisoner, coming from the town,
captured under the river bank, sir"
The voice recalled him. Bring him
here"
The man brought before him looked
with Il start, then smiled with glCam
of mockery on his ruddy lips. Ar
mands face was immovablc.
"Still the same, colonel" the new
conner Haunted, with q glance at the
others uniform. "Still Captain Jarrat.

Col. Crews Connection with The Herald
Covers Period Of Half Century.

This issue of he Herald is the last

founded October, 1845, consequently it
is in the siSt,eth year of its existence
The writer's connection with it began
when the paper was in its comparative
infancy, October, l849, more than fifty
five years ago-this connection, how.
ever, being broken by residence o;
four years in another county imme-
diateiy precedingSand four years In the
war between the States. Thus, his as.
soc'ation with this paper, in one capac.
ity or another, covers period of near
ly half century.

all to live more CT less in the past;
hence this brief retrospect. The
writer came to Laurens when sixteel,
