MI. Key had undertaken, and he realized
1t. He probably left Baltimore on the morn
ing of September 5th and 1t was some
two days later before he came up with the
British fleet between the mouths of the
Patuxent and Potomac rivers. He was cour-
teously received, but was not allowed to
leave the fleet until after the bOmbardment
of Fort McHenry, which the British had in
mind.
Viewing Hostile Movements.
On the morning of the 10th Of the same
month, five days after his departure from
Baltimore, he returned in company with
his saptors, arriving off North Point where
he was compelled to witness the landing of
1900 soldiers sailors and marines under
command Of Gen. Ross, preparatory to an
attack upon his country. He was Obliged to
view these hostile movements for three
whole days. At the expiration of that time,

American prisoners, Mr. Key, Col. Skinner
and DIR. Beans, further up. the Patapsco

the suspense became almost unbearable, and
he paced the deck in a restless anxiety,
fearing to hope and hoping not to fear the
outcome Shortly before day the firing
ceased and it was apparent that the battle
was over. but with which side the victory

The Old Home.
The old home in Georgetown. D. c., which
Mr.. Key left when he went to Baltimore
on this occasion, is still standing, but in a
disgraceful state of preservation. Recently
