Twas one morning about the hr5t
OF June 1 was staudiu' down ON the
wharf, I00lKin about the ships IN the
river. There was a little steamer
moored right opposite me that seemed
about ready 10 sail. The tunnels of IL
were throwtn' out smoke. and gang
of rOustabOuts were carryln' aboard a
pile OF boxes that was stacked up ON
the wharf The boxes were about two
feet square. and somethin ike four
feet long, and they seemed TO be pref
y heavy.
i walked over, careless, TO the stack
OF boxes ] saw one of them had been
broken in haudHu'. Twas curiosity
made me pull up the loose top and
look inside. The box was packed fun
of Winchester rifles. So so,' says
