night he had the squad afoot confident
that his own spiritual intoxication was
shared in some measure by his follow
ers.
Quickly, s%tealthily, but with a thrill
of expected triumph, he led the way
through a depression OF the ground to-
ward the little woods, beyond which
was the outnumbering foe. The leader
had already made known the only
course of action-a given point for a
STAR; a quick, mad charge.
Just beyond the woods a faint fndi-
cation of a sentry was dscerned in a
half defined shadow. The lieutenant
stopped his men with both arms out
stretched as he paused in his track.
Mentally the leader was singing the
rhythmic song and his blood surged in
a spiritual drunkenness through his
veins.
A brief instant OF hesitation, then
there was the faintest signal Of ringing
steel On the night air as. the officers
sword was drawn. Catching up The
impeding scabbard the leader moved
toward the edge of the wood. The liz
lie band, dsploying, came out of the
deeper shadows in a long line, ranged
against the whole face of the opposing
force. Not a word was spoken: there
was not a cheer, not a sound but the
sudden, whistfing swish Of the assail.
ing line. In the silent advance the
outposts of the enemy were half de-
moral:zed by the sense of IN unreok-
oned and unestimated danger.
A preliminary, resisting shot of hap
hazard defence brought a volley in ne
turn. Then, with muskets clubbad on
a double quick, the assailsnts deter.
mined the nature of the fight.
At that instant just one thrilling
Charge" was ordered. 1t came from
the lieutenant. and it was keyed In the
sharp, enthralling harmony Of the
song.
1t was over soon. The charge itself
became a wild pursuit. The lieutenant

intelliSence. For u few minutes his
glance ranged about a sunny o in
a questioning way. From the couch
where he lay he could see but part OF

up into those of a woman. There came
another wondering question into his
glance and a great, glad establishment

q different query.

with the brevity OF spent strength.

She looked at him with great-eyed
pride for an instant. Then she laid her
cheek on his pillow. One cool, soft

fingers rested on his lips.

ing. He called the attention of the
pilot to this fact and then, upon going
into the hull, found it half full OF

ton of Capt. w. G. Fry saved many
lives there can be no doubt
Through the efforts OF Capt. Fry
and Clerk Wilson all. on board were
taken ashore, furnished with benches,
chairs and bedding and made com.

THE passengers going north were
taken. by the captain through bayous.

breakfast after which they were
taken in hacks to. .Blountstown.
All expenses Of the trip had been paid
by orders Of the captain.
"The break in the hull was near the
bottom and we'll forward. It is not
known what caused 1t, as there was
no jar and no .scraping sensation or
noise.
''The vessel was run ashore On Fri
day, August 3, about 1890 a. m.
AL credit possible should be given
