The voice of a dying man was calling to me, was crying a name in my ears as it had done that day I had sat with Sir Roland Challoner by Harold Logan's bed and watched the fearful eyes gazing into vacancy.
The former sent General Veatch's, and the latter General John A. Logan's brigade. I asked the former to support our left flank, and the latter our right flank. The next morning early, Morgan L. Smith's brigade was deployed under cover on the left, and Denver's on the right, ready to move forward rapidly at a signal.
I entered as delicately as Agag, and the expression in his eye seemed to convict me before I could open my mouth. "Hugh," he said, "your mother tells me that you have confessed to going, without permission, to Logan's Pond, where you embarked on a raft and fell into the water."
Colonel Logan did everything in his power, as county lieutenant, to sustain the different forts but it was not a very easy matter to order a married man from a fort where his family was to defend some other when his own was in imminent danger. I went with my mother in January, 1783, to Logan's station, to prove my father's will. He had fallen in the preceding July.
He was now on the south and south-west of Jackson confronting the Confederates behind their breastworks, while McPherson's right was nearly two miles north, occupying a line running north and south across the Vicksburg railroad. Artillery was brought up and reconnoissances made preparatory to an assault. McPherson brought up Logan's division while he deployed Crocker's for the assault.
'Thanks, awfully, said Scremerston, but he did not seem very keen. Poor little Scremerston! Logan 'breasted the brae' from the riverside to the house. His wading- boots were heavy, for he had twice got in over the tops thereof; heavy was his basket that Fenwick carried behind him, but light was Logan's heart, for the bustard had slain its dozens of good trout.
It would be difficult to conceive anything more distasteful to Washington than such a mission as Logan's, or that he could have a more hearty contempt for any one than for a meddler of this description, who by his interference might help to bring his country into contempt. He was sufficiently impressed, however, by Dr.
There was a glint in Willie Logan's eye!... "I say, John," he said, "come on into the next carriage! There's two quare nice wee girls just got in!" "No," said John. "Ah, come on," Willie coaxed. "No," John almost shouted. "Well, stay behind then. I'll have the two to myself," Willie exclaimed, climbing out of the carriage as he spoke. "That lad deserves all he gets," John thought.
Logan's house, which parcel he delivered into her hands, accompanied with a sealed note, containing an inventory of the articles, and a request to know if the unfortunate Arabella Calvert would be admitted to converse with Mrs. Logan. Never was there a woman so much overjoyed as Mrs. Logan was at this message. She returned compliments.
At the same time it will not in the least hurt me, should you leave it out altogether, and adhere to your first intention of adopting Logan's verses. I have finished my song to "Saw ye my Father;" and in English, as you will see.
