used to fire at her when they caught
sight of her passing thru the inlets OF
James and Folly Islands. He worked
in one of the detachments that filled
sand bags for building the battery Tor
the Swamp Angel, and never lost day
in the six weeks that. he was so en-
ployed. He saw Robert Small and his
family at Beaufort, S. c., after he had
come thru our lines. He would like to
know if Mrs. Quincy A. Gillmor is alive
and her address. He remembers her
standing with the General and staff be-
fore he opened fire on Sumter, Moultrie
and Johnson. She had her hand on
42-pound Columbiad, when a shot from
Fort Moultrie hit on the muzzle and
threw 1t upright 1t did not appear tC

him cordially Comrade Meek was OF

After At Years,

Editor National Tribune: That your
paper is read by others than old soldiers
was demonstrated to me on my return
from the State Encampment at Buffalo.
1 found on my desk letter from law
yer in Bridgeport. Conn.,, asking If I
was formerly in Co. A, 1st Conn.,, and
stating that the writer had recently read
my article in favor of a pension to Gen.
Hawley's widow. The letter stated that
inquiry was not made for pension pur-
poses, but was purely of a sentimental
character. 1t also mentioned a tent
mate who was killed at Port Hudson.
The letter Immediately brought to my
mind a circumstance connected with my
, return to New Haven. Conn, from my
first three-months service. AS we land
| ed from the boat at the dock, /, being
| injured, was taken ashore and placed
| in a carriage, which was driven up to
the pump on the famous New Haven
green" AS I was being taken from
the carriage little boy stepped up and
said, MY mother wants me to take the
sick soldier home" After a little in
quiry by Capt. Hawley as to how his
mother knew of the sick soldier, the lit
tie boy said he ran home from the boat
and told her. Answers being satisfac-
tory, 1 was taken to the boys home and
cared for, and in a few days was able
to leave for home. In the stress and
strain of the years following I lost the
name of the good Samaritan. This
