his gallantry and for the valuable aid he
rendered to Geus. Banks and Crawford.

As might be expected from the charac-

are now satisfied is much in excess of our
own. A full list of casualties will be

endeavor to do justice to all.

In process of time a son was born to

half suspecting what had brought the
