der for the camp quartermaster to
notify the quartermaster-general OF
the army at Washington of the num-
Der of men to be moved and the cars

that foreign flags were seen float
ing from ships lying IN our docks
and in the Potomac off this city.
During the early part Of the fifties,
when George D. Fowle, oldest son
of the old merchant reached his ma
jority, the enterprise of the latter
caused great expansion of the bust
ness of the old house. The firm of
Fowle and Co.. was known through
out the country as we'll as at for
eign ports. 1t became the agent of
the Peruvian Government. which
owned the Chincha Island, for the
distribution of guano, and the largest
ships Of that day were coming to
and departing from Alexandria all
the time.
The firm was located at the foot of
Prince street, and there was barely
a time when a ship was not to be
seen in the dock. About this time
George D. Fowlc, conceived the es-
tablishment of line Of passenger
and freight steamships between AL
exandria and New York, and the
Cromwells, among the leading steam
ship men of that day, determined to
establish such line. In October.
1859, the "Mount Vernon" the first
steamer of that line, made her way
Up the Potomac, firing cannon
every few minutes. She was followed
by the Monticello, the sister ship,
and this line was continued until the
outbreak of the war between the
states when the Cromwells present
ed both vessels to the United States
Government and they We're converted
into gunboats.
When his line was in operation
the steamers arrived and departed
IRON what was known as the Brown
She'd" which occupied large area
between Cameron and Queen streets.
This structure was used by the
Quartermaster's Department OF the
federal government during the war,

Company, and later was destroyed
by FIRE.
