The war meanwhile went l on with increas

first ran in Marion's favor, had now turned,

'The time was too short to allow of barrd
cading-the 'house; but the ,great hall
,wits
speedily 'turned into a 'foriPiention. ' The
dyrs titeither end were closed, barred and
f urther ' defended by chairs and tabletabledplied

parlor)Voe cloSed effectually' In the _some

of the upperlall were . gUarded- by
force. These dispositions had seal

the lawn, oil 'which they dismoimied W.
loud shouts, and began intata'nt pre6arati,.

the attack, ',.,..... ' i / , I
When Mr. Mowbray's seanty troop was
mustered, it was found to centain buttem ex
clusive of himself for ne fly lialt - i}f the \ex
pecte& recrnits had n ot , e t had time' toll ar
rive. It was eviden that there had hecn
/
'treachery somewher among them; for none
but tllrse who ha enlisted knew of this ren
, dezvous; and th sudde» disappearance of
2 /.
the enemy two days before, it' was now aim
rent,iiad be n feint. * However, nothing
'rettlaine'd b' tto sell their' lives as dear! as
possible.
Mr. Mowbray walked around among his
,men, nd himself, saw that every, thing was
read . :He exhorted them, in, a few words,
to 40 theti duty manfully. His short lin
]
rangue was brought to a speedy conclusion,
by a louilcheer on the part of the assailants,"
and by a shoe er of bullets aimed at the - hall
window, as they advaric o the attack.-
"Fire cool y id waste no shot?' he said
sternly, Ihini Iflhandlin,g a musket.
Fein met ell ch that first disdharge, and,
mad with tae tityl shame, the assailants'
strove churl; up the pilasters'. of the Wall
door; but they were beaten therice',by the
butts of the defenders' muskets. lThe men,
however, , who achiev a this* ) ; were severely
wounded by the rifle 'of ,the Tories, who,
keeping watch, aimed wherever a head, ap
peared. An effort was now made to break in
f
the hairdoor. Am axe was brought, and,
aftbr several blows, one of the heavy pan
els gave way. Ilut"the moment the wood fell*
crashing in,'a volley, poured throUgh the ap
erature drop© back , tlie , ar;sailantsg who; thus

The little garrison was no* mos ered.=
One tit its members li ad been shot dead at the i

The hi its were ha daged as weft' as possible,

Imoree trolly. i Th ir slight successes had in
spiritecf the Men; tI ey began now to talk Of
foiling the enemy ] ; end when notice I.vs+
again given of hia'approach, they repaired to
their posts with alacrity and exultation,
The tories now seemed to have resolved on
trying a Combined atiOelt on all parts of the
house. i O n e part , advanced toward the bil
door in front-L-anot er, made the circuit f
the mansion to as • the one in the rear—and

"They are;breaking into the parlo rs!'' e -
claimed ono,Of the men; rushing up the stair
ease, at,,,the very ,instant, that , a new Volley
wnti discharged pn , tito house f ront tiie assail-
ants.
Mr. Mowbray listened, anjheard the dull
crash - of an axe, gllowed by the breaking of
glass. The parlor shutters had merely been
barred, and the parlors once gained, it was
' only necessary,to break down the doors lead
ing to the entry, which were comparatively
.weak and slightly barricaded. To desert the
hall up stairs, would be to seduce tho tones
in front and rear from their cover, and throw
'open an eintrance to them by tie Way they
had first' essiged. It became necessary,
therefore, to divide his already small force,
and, leaving a few to maintain the old po
sitions, cdefend the threatened doorwith two
or three trusty arms:
"We must sell our lives dearly'," he 'said,
is he took his station behind the door, post
ing a man on each side. 1
, .
The enemy was now heard leaping intothe
parlor, and simultaneously a gek4ral attack ,
began on all sides, the bullets rattled against
the wall; shouts and cries of encouragement,
rose on both sides. From the quick firing
'overhead, Mr. Mowbray kneW that his men
in that quarter were actively engaged. The
axe was now heard against the parlor door
befo're him, and the frail wired quivered ender
every blow. Another blow and the pahnel
gave way. ' Instantly the musket of Mr.
Mowbray was aimed throngh the aperature
at the' man who Wieldcd the axe, who fell
dead at the expiosion. But another promptly
seiild the instrument, and, posting himself
witli more caution nt the side of the opening,
dealt such vigorous strokes, that the door
spe6dily fa in. ' As the planks crashed to
th 6 fl6r, there was a general rush un the
I part ;Id' the,Tories in the, parlor trard the,

`"*eet them bravely!" shouted Mr. Mow.

H 1 fired a pistol as he spoke, at the Init.=
