When I was on the Essex, I remember, as a midshipman, just turned eleven years of age, I went to sleep lying on a gun carriage in a midwatch one night. The watch officer saw me, and instead of Waking me up he actually eoered me over with his jacket and let me sleep on, said the admiral reminiscently. I ought to have been court martialod for it, but Ive always been grateful to him, and Ive never forgotten his reprimand either. No one ou watch will 6leep tonight, admiral. - No; I suppose not.

The wound was necessarily fatal. Mary Annan had been at once summoned from Mobile by telegraph and had come down to the fort on a tugboat, with Dr. Bampney and Hamilton Pleasants, now a colonel on General Maurys staff. Tempe was not allowed to come, but had remained at Anuandule under the care of Mrs. Peyton and Pink. Oh, the cruel, cruel war! It had robbed her of father and of the man who loved her; it bad parted her from the man she loved, and now its ensanguined hands were reached out to take from her the last who could transmit her honored name.
