miserably. My testimony did Giles

Sir Peter Hawkshaw was the next
witness. 1t was plain from the start
that he desired to help Giles, and like
wise that he knew very little of the

Sir Peter evidently thought the wit

and he proceeded to harangue the
court in his best manner as flag Of
ficer. He talked of everything except
the case; he gave a most animated de-
scription of the fight between the Ajax
on our side and the incompatible and
Xantippe on the other, praising Giles
Vernon's gallantry at every turn. He
also aired his views on the subject of
the flannel shirts furnished to the
navy, alleging that some rescally con-
tractors ought to be hanged at the
yard-arm for the quality supplied; and
wound up by declaring. with great gus

Strange to say. though cherished in

very hard time in locating any great
number of the powder horns used in
this country and this in spite of the
large numbers used in the seven

In the French and Indian war the
English and Americans carried 10000
powder horns, 1t has been estimated,
to say nothing of the number carried
by those on the French side. In the
revolution there were according to
the best estimates about 10000 pow

here that Nelson's arm was shattered
by cannon-ball. Having anchored
some two miles off the town on July

shot before the enemy discovered
them.
Forty guns at once opened fire.
The cutter containing some two hun
bred men and several boats, was sunk.
and many of the other boats were
dashed to pieces by the surf, which
was running high. as the men
jumped ashore. Nelson's arm was
shattered by a cannon-ball as he
stepped on the jetty. and he was car
ried back to his ship by the men.

Happily for England's prestige, they
were not taken by the enemy. They
were lost when the boats went down,
and were subsequently washed ashore
and preserved as trophies. There is
a story to the effect that when n Brit

flags were then exhibited, actually

position to the captain. He at once

The judges, out of respect to him,
made no great effort to subdue him,
and he had the satisfaction of telling
his story his own way. When the prose-
cution took him in hand. they found,
though, that he could very well keep
to the subject matter, and they did not
succeed in getting anything of the
slightest consequence out of him.
Then came Lady Hawkshaw's tes-
timony. Sir Peters was not patch
on it. Like him. she really had no
material evidence to give, but, with a
shrewdness equal to his. she made a
very good plea for the prisoner. She
began with circumstantial account Of
her own marriage to Sir Peter, in
which the opposition of her family was
painted in lurid hues. In vain was she
again and again checked; she managed
to tell her tale against the vigorous OBJ
jections of the prosecutors, and the
somewhat feeble and perfunctory re-
Dukes from the bench. The jury, how
ever, were plainly so interested in 1t,
that no serious attempt was made to
stop her-not that it would have

the horns have been disappearing.
The New England states produced
a number of the old horns with their
quaint inscriptions and ornamenta-
tons, but New York and New Jersey
have been most prolific in them.
Perhaps the most remarkable ex-
amples of the engraving are to be
seen on the geographical horns whose
pictures appear in the Greenwood col
lection. These geographical horns
took the place of pocket maps for the
early pioneers. They were the work
of professional engravers in places
like New York and Boston.
Some of the horns in the collection
contain practically complete maps of
the old trails and waterways. One of
the best of these bears the date of
1867 and shows New York with its
harbor filled with ships and New York
