broke out. At that time Mr.. Sfgari
was the owner of a large schooner
which he used in the coasting trade
and when war was declared he was
commissioned to go to New Orleans for
q lot of bags which were subsequently
filed with sand and piled up into a
fort for the protection of the town.
Mr.. Sigari was chief gunner and. al
though the ordnance was neither
very heavy nor effective, it was be-
lieved that the fort was sufficiently
strong to stand off any hostile vessel
that might approach that part of the
coast Just about the time that ev-
erything was in good working order
the federal gunboat Port Royal put in
an appearance and made the warriors
take to the timber in short order,
after which the guns and ammunition
of the fort ress were loaded on that
vessel and carried off.
Mr.. Sigari and his aged wife. who
is also remarkably spry considering
her years, now make their home with
their son Frank and enjoy in quiet
and happiness the autumn of their
long and eYentful lives.
