Around its grand array, a half mile away, lay the somber, portentous line of brown-clad men.

Noblett, occupying the field works at Brashear, and two companies of the 28th Maine at Fort Butler.
The enemy, after several attempts to take the place by assault, contented themselves with besieging the village, doing as much damage as possible by a continuous fire from the cover of houses and trees, and at length succeeded in occupying a house not more than a few feet from the wall.
"Louis, I shall put you under the command of Sir George Wilmot," said his father, laughing, however, with the rest of the circle. "Ay, ay, do; the sea is just the berth for such youngsters as these," remarked the old Admiral, clapping his hand kindly on the lad's shoulder. While such badinage was passing, serious thoughts were occupying the minds of more than one individual of that circle.
