watched the battle, too far away to
Judge whether one side or the other
was gaining an advantage.
There was mighty little sleep on
the Pennsylvania that night, and when
the morning broke every eye was
strained harborwards to see whether
the old flag was still flying over Sum-
ter. We could not make 1t out, and
our fears were realized when later q
harbor pilot boarded us and told us
Sumter had fallen.
Under his guidance we worked our
way up the channel past the now ST.
lent forts of the city. There all was
excitement. Nothing but the victory
gained by the South Carolina soldiers
was talked about, and Yankee sailor
was not enthusiastically welcomed.
That port officers advised our cap
tain to discharge his cargo without de-
lay and get away while there was
chance. We took the hint and lost no
time in acting upon it. In consider
able less than forty-eight hours our
cargo was hoisted out and we had xas5
'goodby' to Charleston.
1.-THE next time 1 sailed to that port
was about one year later, l should say.
and then we carried stone instead of
Ice. You see, it was this way: The
government did not have enough
armed vessels to maintain an effec-
tive blockade of the long-stretching
Atlantic seaboard, and it was decided
to obstruct the channels leading to
certain ports, of which Charleston was
one. with sunken vessels. The govern
mept purchased sixteen ships that had
been formerly employed in the whal-
ing business, picking them up in New
London, Sag Harbor, Nantucket and
New Bedford.
These sunken hulls formed only a
Temporary obstruction, of course, fol-.
the constant shifting of the sand on
the bar. and the action of the waves
would eventually cause them to break
I'D and wash away, but / reckon they
served the purpose intended at thu
time.

RMENfNl!!sseaSg{5sS.
SAW FALL OF FORT SUMTER.
Capt. John A. Bunker While Aboard
Coasting Schooner off Charleston
Witnessed Battle.

On an April day in 1861, while the
guns of Moultrie and Castle Pinckney
were laundering against the walls OF
Fort Sumter, there lay at anchor out
side the harbor at Charleston, S. c., a
coasting schooner. From its low-lying
deck its officers and crew Of half a
dozen sailors watched the artillery
duel that proved to be the opening
scene in the Civil War.
The schooner was the Pennsylvania,
chartered by Boston shippers, and
freighted with Ice for Charleston. One
of the crew that was thus privileged
to be eyewitnesses of the first overt
act of rebellion against the United
States government, was John Allen
Bunker, then aged %, of Edgartown,
Mass.
II was % years of age at the time
serving before the mast in the coast
lug trade. Our craft, which was
schooner-rigged, was owned in Rock
land, Me. Early in April, 1861, We
sailed out of Boston, carrying $50 tons
of ice consigned to parties in Charles
ton, S. c. OF course we had heard for
several months mutterings Of impend-
ing trouble, and we knew that Maj.
Anderson had transferred his COM
mand from the shore Notifications to
Fort Sumter and was holding for
Uncle Sam, but / think not soul on
board the Pennsylvania, our schooner,
realized the seriousness Of the situa-
ton. l know felt no hesitation about
making the trip.
After rounding Cape Cod we ran
down the coast without special de-
lay, so far as l can remember, and
in about five days, l should say, we
were off Charleston, and headed for
the channel leading to the city.
Fort Sumter was being lombard
ed. We were four miles away but We
could see the flash Of the guns In
Moultrie and other shore Notifications.
Over all hung great volume OF
smoke.
What did we do? Why there was
but one thing for the captain to do
drop the anchor, and await the out
come 1t would have been suicidal to
have attempted to run the gauntlet
off that heavy crossfire. Yes, we were
held up all right, and so through the
afternoon we swung at anchor and

DOuma bill calling for an appropriation
of $4,000. to be utilized for the purposes OF
the extension of the growth of cotton in

dependent OF foreign cotton, and especially
Of American cotton.

KEEP THE NAMES SECRET
Many Democrats in House Draw
Sighs of Relief.
From The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Feb N-Some twoscore
Democrats of the House OF Representa-
tives heaved sighs Of relief to-day on learn
ing that the House Committee on Expendi-
lures in the Agricultural Department. which
is investigating the so-called Everglades
scandal. had decided not TO make public
the names of those members whose custom
It was in campaign years 20 borrow en-
ployes Of the department to travel through
their districts at government expense and
make speeches on matters Of local interest.
The committee, of which Representative
Moss. Of Indiana, is chairman, reached this
decision to-day, and as a result Mr.. Moss is
popular with the majority side OF the
House.
The name of Representative Small, OF
North Carolina, was mentioned as one of
the Southern Democrats who had used the
services Of department employees in the
manner described When Mr.. Small learned
to-day that he was to be left out of the
suppressed list he arose on the floor of the
House and. speaking TO a matter Of per-
sonai privilege, vigorously defended himself
from all imputations Of improperly.
]. o. Wright, chief engineer of the Ever
glades drainage project testified before the
Moss committee that he and five other en-
ployes Of the department had lecthred ir
Mr.. smalls district in the campaign OF
1908. their expenses being paid by the de-
partment.
THE imputation which may be drawn
from that statement" said Mr.. Small
that there was the slightest impropriety
in this, or that the Agricultural Depart
ment lecturers were secured for my section
Of the country for any purpose connected
with campaign matters. is utterly unfound-
ed and untrue"
Mr.. Small did not deny that department
employees had been In his district lecturing
in the 1903 campaign on matters Of Local
interest, but he added, somewhat plaint-
lively:
1T is strange. indeed, when a Represen-
tative cannot utilize one of these govern
trent departments for the betterment OF
his people without the charge that it is
being done with an ulterior purpose"
Despite the action of the committee to-
day. Il is expected that the full list OF
names OF the members who solicited depart
ment aid in their campaign fights will be
made public before long.
Attorney General Wickersham has rec
commended grand jury consideration of the
charges of transference of public funds
against the recently dismissed officials OF
the drainage bureau.

HUGE NAVY ESTIMATES VOTED
French Programme Calls for Expendi'
ture of S279 600 900.

Paris Feb I6-The Senate tonight voted
the naval budget after NJ. Delcasse, Min
lister of Marine, had outlined the various
important reforms in the navy planned for
the near future. It would be his aim. NJ
DeIcasse declared. to add 10 the number Of
larger type OF ships and increase the cfi-
cheney OF the crews of war vessels. lie said
he had given special attention to the ques-
tiOn Of ammunition and that 500 tons OF
doubtful powder already had been taken
10 sea and sunk, and that only absolutely
reliable brands of explosives were being
kept. The Minister of Marine said also
that the process Of manufacture of powder
had been greatly improved, and he could
say that the country now was prepared
for all emergencies.
NJ Delcasse added that he believed the
French fleet now constituted force cal
ctilated to make a possible attacker hesi-
tate. The naval programme calls for the
expenditure OF S279, 500 900. The Chamber Of
Deputies adopted the budget last Tuesday.
Premier Poincare successfully steered two
or the most critical articles of the electoral
reform bill through the Chamber of Depu-
ties tonight and i'm doing so gained no.
table parliamentary triumph, as there was
marked division OF opinion even opposi-
don. regarding the measures among the
different groups which make up the ma
ioritv i'm the lower house The articles
voted involve the abolition Of several smap
constituencies and the principle OF propor-
tlonal representation.
