Over the tree tops, faintly mingling with the low cry of a dying boy of sixteen, came the sweet distant notes of a church bell in Richmond. "God in heaven the mockery of it!" he cried. A great shout swept the blue lines. Hooker's magnificent division of fresh troops swept into view, eager for the fray. They rapidly deployed to the right and left.
But he stopped, and took up one of the oars, to begin rowing, but of course only to send the boat round.
