HIS BLUFF FINALLY CALLED
Union Pilots shrswd Scheme Brought
to End by What Might Be Called
Hard Luck.

During the Civil war there was a
mysterious boat that used to travel
the Mississippi river. Her name was
the Red Cloud. Her Ohio owners had
turned her over to the Northern army
She WINS used to get supplies from the
southern ports. She flew the Union
flag while In upper waters. and when
she reached the dividing line she hoist
ed the Confederate flag.
When challenged. her pilot. Hamp
Thornton. would shout back the name
of some boat he knew had been given
permission by the Confederates TO run
that particular night. Always all lights
were out. 1t was said the pilot knew
the river SO well he could steer to New
Orleans blindfOlded.
r. One night. however, near vicksburg
a ship lying in harbor raced out to
challenge the Red Cloud. Her cap
tain called out the name of the very
steamer challenging him. Information
was sent to the Confederate officers at
Vicksburg, and when the Red Cloud
passed the batteries she was fired up
on and set afire. All Of the crew were
, captured except Thornton, who dived
of and swan ashore, later getting
back to Union lines and fighting as

And leafy tree to rest beneath

Past the ivied church and the hardwood

And the mumblins stone-tooth'd mill.
