1 1t entered the city and marched | through Main and Shetucket streets | to the wharf of the Norwich 6 Worces- | ter R. R. Co.,. where the steamer was waiting. At the wharf the throng was immense. The guard armed with bay | onets, sharp sticks and billies, had all it could do to keep the crowd from rushing onto the wharf and boat and seriously impeding the authorization of 1 the troops.
 1 Women who had come down to bid their friends goodbye plead tearfully with the guard fof permission to pass, but were pushed, in some cases rude l ly back, and had to be content with simply the flutter of handkerchief | Men made themselves hoarse shouting their farewells, in hopes that their voices might reach across the inter vening space above the rattle of | drums and the cries of gall back, fall back" which were everywhere heard. AS soon as the baggage was on board l! the guard followed it. and then the completely lined with the excited throng. Some were crying, some laughing: some were leaning over the water passing little forgotten bundles | to loved ones on board, while others back among the crowd were amusing themselves pitching apples at the soldiers who gobbled them down with an air of intense satisfaction and held out their hands struck up the con- ventional goodbye air, The Girl I Left Behind Me, the paddles commenced re- volving, the soldiers on the boat com menceu cheering. the crowd on the wharf and the banks of the river endowed the shout, the steam whistle | screeched out and the boat with its heavy load of human life passed down the river.
