I fully expected that the matter would not end here, and that I was likely to find myself in the dock along with Forrester. The same evening I had a visit from my sister-in-law, Miss Naughton. She had a friend, a Miss Cameron, who was sister to the wife of Lawrence Kehoe. Miss Cameron lived in the house of the Detective Superintendent, along with her sister, Mrs. Kehoe.
With change of name to the Royal Fifeshire Yeomanry Cavalry, and under the successive command of Lieut.-Colonel Morison of Naughton , Colonel J. Anstruther Thomson of Charlton , and Colonel W. Wemyss the Regiment continued to flourish, receiving in 1814 the year which saw the close of the war the thanks of both Houses of Parliament for its services.
We were under way at an early hour, for we formed the reserve in the attacking column. Colonel Birge was in command of the reserve. We were up at 3 A.M., had a little hard-tack and coffee and started under command of Captain Naughton at 4. Suddenly we heard a terrifying yell and the crash and roar of artillery and musketry. Soon the dead and wounded began to be brought in.
In the middle of the previous night Miss Cameron told Miss Naughton her room being on the same landing as Kehoe's she heard him called, and a man's voice saying: "We've taken Forrester. Shall we go to Denvir?" There was a pause; then Kehoe said, "No," adding some words to the effect that he did not think that I was implicated.
The work west of the line was placed under the immediate direction of George C. Clarke, M. Am. Soc. C. E., as Resident Engineer, with Naughton Company and Arthur McMullen, Contractors; Mr. Louis H. Barker was Resident Engineer of the part east of the dividing line, with the Degnon Realty and Terminal Improvement Company as the principal contractors.
It certainly did not come from Zagonyi, who was several hundred yards farther on. Captain Fairbanks executed the order, followed by the second company of Prairie Scouts, under Captain Kehoe. When this movement was made, Captain Naughton, with the Third Irish Dragoons, had not reached the corner of the lane.
While at Jefferson City, by permission of the General, he had organized a battalion to act as scouts and rangers, composed of two companies of the Third Illinois Cavalry, under Captains Fairbanks and Kehoe, and a company of Irish dragoons, Captain Naughton, which had been recruited for Mulligan's brigade, but had not joined Mulligan in time to be at Lexington.
He recalled that in the days when he wore trousers he had been Chief Engineer of the Haliotis. "Harland, Mackesy, Noble, Hay, Naughton, Fink, O'Hara, Trumbull." "Here, sir!" The instinct of obedience waked to answer the roll-call of the engine-room. "Below!" They rose and went. "Captain, I'll trouble you for the rest of the men as I want them.
