SEA SKETCH.
| " 4
During the summer of 1814, the British had
not duly!laid claim to all that portion of the
District |of Mains lying east of the Penobscot, 1
bat Admifal Griffith and Sir John Sherbrooke,
the lattjer being then the Governor of Nova
Sebtia, hpd been a heavy forceto take
possession of Castine, which place commanded
the entrance to the Penobscot river. Shortly
before the arrival of the English squadron,
Commodore Samuel Tucker l bad been sent*
around eo Penobscot Bay to protect Jha Ameri
can coasters there, and while the British sailed
up to Coptine, he lay with his vessel at Thom
aston. j. ’
It was a schooner that the Commodore com
manded,! but she w.as a heavy one, and well
armed and manned; .and ,thgt . she carried tlu>
true “ yknkef gi|t”‘hpoh her decks, the enemy
had received tooAnany proofs. On the taoro
ing of tile 28th 6i August a messenger came
down from Belfast with the intelligence that
the British frigate was coming from Castine to
take hinf. Tucker knew that the ißmisb feared
him, Sir John Sherbrooke had offered
a large ajmount for his capture.
Whenjthe Commodore receive;! the intelli
gence, bis vessel was tying at one of the low
wharves j where he would be obliged- to wait
hearty tiro bolirs for the tide to set him off.—
But he Hastened to have everything prepared
to get off as soon us possible, for jbe had no de
sire to Meet the frigate. > 1
The sghopner’s keel was just cleared : from
the nuucL'and one of tbe men bad been sent
upon tha wharf to cast off the bow-line, when
a wngort drawn by one horse came rattling
down- to ibe spot. The driver, a rough-looking
countryman, got out upon the Wharf, and then
assisted'a middle-aged lady from the vehicle.
The ladyS’a first, inquiry was for Commodore
Tucker.J He was pointed ,out tp. her, and .she
stepped jupon the schooner’s deck and ap
proached! him. ■ • -• A ■ -
- “ Comfaodore,”. she asked; “ when do yon
sail frpmlhere ?” ■"
“ Right off—as soon as possible, madam 1”
“O, tijen, I know you'will'be kind to me,”
the ! la'dySurged in persuasive tones. “My poor
bus band .died yesterday, and I wish to carry
his corpffi to Wiscasset, where wo belong, and
where hi i parents will take care of it.”
, “But,.my good woman,,! shan’t go to Wis
asset.” ‘ t i .
“ If you only land me -at tbe mouth of the
Sheepscc|t, I will ask 'no more. I can easily
find a boht to take me up.”
“ Wheie is the bony ?” asked Tucker.
”In the wagon,” replied tbe lady, at the
same time raising the corner of her shawl, to
wipe awjay the gathering tears, ” I have a-,
small sum of money with me, sir, and you shall
be pdid fi)r your trouble.” ,
“ IVtJtut, woman ; if I accommodate yon,
there won’t be any pay about it."
- The kind-hearled old Commodore was not tbe
man to rfcfuse.a favor, and though he liked not
the hotbdr of taking she'woman and her strange
accompaniment on bparn, yet he could" not-re
fusej. anti when he'told her he would do as she
had,requested, she thanked him with tears in
her eyes.* ’ ' 1 ■• /
Some df tho men ■were sent upon the wharf
to bring -khe body on board. A long buffalo
robe was|lifted off by the man who drove the
tbe wagdn, and beneath it appeared a neat
black cofln. Some words were passed by the
seamen ap they bore the.coffin on board, which
went to ihow pretty' plainly .that the , affair
didn’t exactly suit them. - It may bare been
but prejudice on .their part, bnt yetjseamen
should bd allowed a prejudice once in a While,
when wejeonsider the many stern realities they
have to encounter. ', ■
' “ Hush* my good men," said the Commo
dore, as lie heard their murmured remonstran
ces. “Suppose some of you w'
from hom|es— would you not wisl
.remains might be carried lo you:
'dome, bukry now.”
'. Tfaff man Said no more, and en
was placed in' the hold, and th
shown to ibe cabin. In less thr
the schoojher was cleared from
standing put of the bay. ■
la the ivening the lady passe _
deck,aa4 the Commodore fissured her that he
should to land her early ort the next
taernipg. She ezptemt her gratitude and
satisfaction, and remarked that before sho're
tlred she Should like to look and see that her
tusband’f; Corpse was safe. This was granted,,
.and one the men lifted off the hatch that she
might go Mown into tho hold. ■ i
“ I declare,” 'muttered Daniel Carter, an old;
sailor whp had the wheel, 11 she takes on .drOadr
ftilly," J ■ . - ■ ■
“ Yes4pbor thing,” responded Tueker, as
he heard the woman's sobs and gleans. ■
D’ye notice what an eye she’s got ?” coc
tinaed Carton
“No,” .said the Commodore, “only that it
was ewol enwitb tears.” ’ .!
•“ My e ! But they shone though, when
she stood here looking at thecompass.” -
Tuckei sniilednt the man’s quaint earnest
neB», ahd without further remark .ho went down
to the cabin. " , ■ , ;: i
When the; Woman came ,up from the hold,
she lopkefl about; ttue'deck of the acboofaer |or

she treat to the. taff-raih and looked, into the
.stern boat, and then .she name apd atoodby the
binnacle:again.
- ■“ Look out, or you’ll, jjbe the.boom," uttered
the passenger, - •

above-mentioned., .

Shortly afterwards the passenger went below,
and ere long Tucker came on the deck.
“ Commodore,” said Carter, with a remarka
ble degree of earnestness'in his ? manner, ‘‘is
that ’oman turned in yet ?”
“ I rather think Bb,” said 1 Tucker, looking
at the compass. “ Look out,’ look out, Career !
why, man nljvfe; ydu Vo two’poiilts to tne south

■“Blow me, ! so I am,” safd'the man, bang
ing the' helm‘snfarfly a-port. " But sn'yj Com
modore, hdticfe ' nothin’ ’culittr 'bout
that 'oman ?” • - •
“Why; Dan,' you secern , greatly interested
about'her.” ' •'
“So I am, Gdmmodore •, an’ao 1 am’boot
that black coffin, too. Wouldn’t it -be well for
yon an’ I lo go an? overhaul-it:?” - ,
“ Pshew ! yott areiaa scared aa a' child in a
■grave-yard.” , . i
“No, not a bit of it. Just hark a bit.—
That ’pman ain’t no ’oman at all.” ,
The Commodore pronounced the vulgar n.ame
of his, Satanic majesty in a most emphatic
manner* . ; ■ -, .
■ “ It’s the truth, Commodore. 1 can. swear
to it. I portended there AVas a spider on her
hair, and I rubbed my hand agin, her face.—
By Sam Hyde, if it wasn’t as rough an' beard-,
ed as a holy-stone. ~You,, see, she told me as
how I’d let the boom jibe if I didti’t look put.
I kpowed there(wasn't no ’oman there, an’ so I.
tried her.. Call somebody, to tho wheel, ah’ let’s}
go an look at that coffin.” , I
The Commodore was woni'er-struck by wbat
he bad “heard ; but,, with that calm presence of
mind which made him what, he was; be sat
coolly to thinking. In a,few moments,he called
one of the men aft,to relieve Garter,’ and then
he wpnt down into the cabin tp look after hip
passenger. , The olaUei bad turned in and
eeeined iota, shoring. Tiick’er returned to the
deck and took Carter one side. 1 ‘
“ No noise, now, Carte.rj but follow me as
though nothing bad happened.”'
,;.‘.Siiriiri,” responded Dan.
The two n'ppfpached the main hatch, and
Carter stooped to raise it, when his' hand,
pouched a small ball that seeniedto bavh been
‘pinned up. under the after Break of the hatch.
“ It’s a ball of twine” sold Dpn.
“ Don’t touch it; but run and get a lantern,”
replied Tucker. [ ,
. Carter’sprang tc 4 obey, and when he returned,
a number, of men had gathered about the spot.
The botch was raised, and the ’Commodore
carefully picked up the' ball of twine, and
found_that it was made fast to'something be
low. '-ile descended to the hold, and'there he
found that the twine fan in beneath the lid of!
the coffin. He had no doubt in his min'd that
there was mischief boxed up before him, and
be sent C ar t® r for something that, might an
swer for a screw-driver. .The man soon re
turned with a stout knife* and the Commodore
set to work. ; He worked very carefully, how
ever, and kept a bright look-out for the string} ,
At length the screws, were all out, and- the
lid was very carefully lifted from its'^laco.
“Great God in Heaven !” bursftfom the lips
of the Commodore.
“By. Sam Hyde'!” dropped like a young
thurider-clop Ifyom the Tips of Dan.
'‘God bless you, Dan !”. sstfd 'f deter.
“ I knowid it!” uttered Dan*'
The two men stood' for a moment arid looked
in to tbe coffin/ There was no "dead" nian there,
but in the place thereof, there waS materia) for
the death-o’f a score. The coffin was filled
with gunppwder'and pitchwood ! Upon a light
frame-work- 5h the center' were arranged four
pfstols, all cocked and primed, and the, string
which entered the coffi>' from without, compar

ifro'de into the cabin,
o cii up to mo . where his passenger
lay, arid gjasping hold of the female dress, he
dragged its wearer out upon the floor. There*
was a sharp and the passenger ffrew
s pistol,’ but it was quickly knocked away—the
govrp %ag torn off, and a wan came forth from:
the,remnants of calico and’ linen'.
..The fellow was assured ..that his, whole plot
bad been discovered, and at length- He owned
.that it "had been his plan to turn out in the
bourse, of the night and get hold of'.the hall of
twine, which he had left in a convenient .place.
He then intended to have gone aft, carefully
unwinding the. string aa he' went along'j. then
to have got into the boat, ,oqt the falls, and as
the boat fell into the water he would have pulled
smartly upon the twine, f[ . .

that they may evpr be to hjm a, talisman ,pf

Uttered .by .that, mother, and i those uttered by
many ft:fnolher who hag,had Isons who .wished
to g», or who would havp.gqpe and, tried to dof
theip duty-to their country ? [ Some of these; are
fresh i n- my memory now, and the remembrance
of, them by tbeir.sons who have gone in disre
gard of thpm, must be dispiriting to them, in
stead of inciting them to-endure the privations
tp vyfaich (hey,must necessarily ha subjected.
Should thifi.be read by a rapther, who by her
words,has.prevented a son gang and doing bis
.duty to his Country, let her remember that all
who have .gape into,.this holy war, have had
“women, for their mothers,” knd that many of
them left'the homes of their childhood, and ns
loving mothers, as, she can prove, herself,to.be:
and now, though late, say to jthat. son “Go and
dp your duty to your country.”
■ Should this J be read by those mothers whose
sons have gone without their sanction, or a
word of encouragement-from them, let them
.Stfaten Iq say to them byl letter, “Stay vand do
your duty tjo your colTitry, aid forget not God,

in Fairfax County, about nine miles from the

Rebels, and I hope we may short rout' them.—
i We' are hero withina few miles of tfaeehemy,
but still'we do.not have adventure-enough to

Leesburg last Saturday, and on .Sunday,'five
companies of the “Buck-tail Regiment,” went
I went’on a'scout as far’'as-the London and
Hampshire Rail. Road, where they fell in with
some rebels, and five of their nuraberwas miss
ing, the next-morning at roll call; and on their
return to Camp-in the evening, they fell in with
our,pickets, when pretty sharp firing ensued,
but.Tbrtunhtoly no one was hurt." That'nfght
We slept on the ground,' which- was a pretty
cold bed; the next morning about ten. o’clock,
we heard heavy canonnding towards the river;
: wo returned ,to : our .Gamp, where we
still remain; The firing we heard, was Cot.
Baker, with 1800 men, and the Rebels -with
4 abodi-13;000, under the:command. of Gen. Ev
ans,, , Oar men were repulsed , with considera
ble loss, and Baker was killed. It .seems hgrd
to see our brave men fall, when our country so
md’tSh needs them; battle sdctns to me that
when we think uf an eaSy victory, w« are cer
tain, of defeat; but.vre hope there will not be
.many, sufiht if. stafemente are true there are
nearly 400, 000 troops in Virginia, and when

.. There is something in the presence' of war
. which not even the rugged furest.can withstand.
When we came here, we could not see but a
little ways .around; but now the woods bays
disappeared. Night and day we 6ould hear the
fatal axe doing its work of destruction, until
the green forest baa been completely cut down.
Sometimes at the hour of midnight, the drums
will beat all to arms, we get up, pack our knap
sacks, got dn'our cartridge boxe§ and haver
sacks,'alb ready to vtart,.but.often it proves to
be a false'alarm; then we have to go to bonk
again,;or sit up an.d shiver with the cold.. In
the days of my boy hood, I thought it would be
a nice thing to be a soldier, but I did not know
the duties attached to such a life. We often,
iio iloWn on the wet'ground with nothing but
thanstafry Heavens for our covering. I will
try »nd describe our -food —sometimes we ;get
crackers that are so hard that it would make a
porcupine bowl to bits .them. I would say that
it is no place for a man, unless'be tas got good
teeth—if be values bis'life worth' anything—,
but ,we get enough of thefti; and we i make out
to worry tbem downin some shape; but I think
with bard crackers and ai plenty of -powder and
ball, we shall be, able to make tlie rebels dance
to the tune of “St. Patrick’s day in'the morn
ing.'’ lhave often heard it said that the dark
est hour ii aiways just before day;' 'lf it be
-trujs I think that day will soon dawn on us
berovat least lb ope so, fur the night has seemed
long and dreary. ; ,
We have got so stout that we drill with our
knapsacks on, nndT think that if wo.keep on
improving, we shall be able to drill with our
tents on dulr backs’very-soon. '' I think if I ev
er get back, I shall be able''to add another vol
ume.tprhe “Pilgrim’s progress.”: , ,
Thehnys appear to be . in: good spirits to
night, for they are dancing as hard as they can
spat it down, at this moment -in front of my
tent-; Plike to sce them' fesl so'well. Often
when I have-been standing alone bn guard,'l.
hpvp thought uf the inany pleaaures l have en
joyed in “Old Tioga-County/’ and it seems, as
though it .would-give me much more pleasure
to yisWit once more; although there are high
