The evening before there had been skirmishes at Sir John's Run and at the Big Cacapon. A regiment of Loring's destroyed the railroad bridge over the latter stream. The Federals withdrew across the river, leaving no command in Morgan County. Throughout the afternoon McLaughlin's battery dropped shells into Hancock, but an hour before dark came orders to cease firing.
But we've had enough of this stuff. Them dames is no blind, neither. I'm guard for the owners here, and we ain't takin' no chances wit' trouble makers git. Git a move on!" "The department," spluttered Glass, "shall hear of this." "That's all right. McLaughlin's the boss. Tell 'em not to send a kid to do a man's job." Geneviève was too amazed to protest.
The guns of the parked batteries gave back the light, the colours seemed silken and fine, the very sunrise gun had a sonorousness lacking to Chew's Blakeley, or to McLaughlin's six-pounders, and the bugles blowing reveille a silvery quality most remarkable. As for the smoke from the camp-fires "Lord save us!" said Harris, "I believe they're broiling partridges! Of all the dandy places!"
The artillery McLaughlin's, Carpenter's, and Waters's batteries found a cross-roads and thundered by, straining to the front. Ashby, together with Chew's battery of horse artillery, kept the pike the other side of Kernstown. In front of the infantry stretched a great open marshy meadow, utterly without cover.
When the March issue of True magazine carrying Commander McLaughlin's story about how the White Sands Scientists had tracked UFO's reached the public, it stirred up a hornets' nest. Donald Keyhoe's article in the January True had converted many people but there were still a few heathens.
A very intelligent answer and it came from an admiral in the Navy's guided missile program. By the time his story was published, McLaughlin was no longer at White Sands; he was at sea on the destroyer Bristol. Maybe he answered the admiral's wire. The Air Force had no comment to make on McLaughlin's story.
