"It is the sunset gun; the signal for taking down the flags," said Berinthia. "I often watch from my chamber window for the flashing of the cannon," Miss Newville remarked.

They drove along a wide street at the foot of Bunker Hill, and came to a narrow neck of land between Charles River on the south and Mystic River on the north. The tide was flowing in and covering the marsh lands.
The soldiers were lounging around the building staring at the people, laughing, smoking their pipes, and making rude remarks.
