For a moment it seemed that he would yield in terror and give her passage. But terror gave place suddenly to crazy rage. With an outburst of bloodcurdling curses, he flung himself upon her.
The two men looked at each other, moved a step forward, and then stopped. "Is this mutiny?" roared the captain, with a bloodcurdling oath. "Am I master in my own ship or not?" What might have been the issue is hard to tell, had not the Yankee passenger already referred to, Jonathan Stubbs, come forward and taken up the gauntlet.
She had a clear, sweet voice, although not a strong one, and they all especially Uncle John loved to hear her sing.

He demonstrated that man has no necessity for alcoholic drinks, however much he may enjoy them. Only on one occasion was he known to taste strong liquor. In the Wilderness, when in a company of officers on horseback, the bloodcurdling Confederate yells were heard but a short distance off, and it seemed as though our line had been broken and the day was lost for the Union army.
