morning from Boston by steamer. The
soldiers had no rations, but they en-

voice could be heard, saying, Shall l

answer ''Pawnee'' brought cheer from
the deck of the cumberland.
Capt. Hiram Paulding, commanding
the Pawnee, found that he had arrived
too late to save the ships at the yard.
They had been .scuttled four hours pre-

Cauley, who had believed they could
not be gotten past the instructions IN

The work now before the Pawnee's

small force of marines were landed.
There were in the yard more than 1000
cannon, and force of laborers were
set to work to disable these by spiHng

fathers determination.
An officer was sent to the old COM

undo the work of the day. The yard
was doomed.
So in the small hours of the morning,
with his boy marching bravely at his
side, the commandant went on board the
Pawnee.
BY this time all was ready for fir.ag

was sent ashore in two boats for the

The only gap in the through line was
in Baltimore. Philadelphia trains came
in at the President street station, ana
the cars were hauled by horses about a
mile TO the Camden street station.
The route for the greater part of the
distance was through Pratt street,
which passed the heads of six docks,
and crossed a tidal basin by bridge.
The neighborhood was no better or no
worse than the waterside sections OF
most American cities.
Owing to fears of bloodshed the rail-
road oficials had given the Baltimore
authorities no information of the APP
proach OF the troop train, but about an
hour before it was due to arrive the
news spread through the city that
northern troops were soon TO pass
