Davis, when apprehended, met the affront with a cutting reply. "There is one man at least who knows this accusation to be false the man who makes it. Whatever else Andrew Johnson knows, he knows that I preferred Mr. Lincoln to him." It was true. Between Johnson and the chiefs of the Confederacy there was a bitterness greater than could be found in the heart of any Northerner.
"Why, Colonel, it must have been a bullet from one of your men from your regiment, sir!" The old Northerner pushed his fingers through his hair and shook his head apologetically. "Why, Senator, I'm afraid it was," he hesitated.
Another and another then a volley, which almost at once became a continuous rattle of musketry. The Northerner sprang to his feet. "Look! there go your pickets." Struck dumb by this sudden return to the actualities of life the two men stood motionless, listening for every sound which might tell them what it meant.
The interior is rich in color and fine in effect, but the northerner is painfully imprest by the black and white horizontal stripes which, running from vaulting to pavement, seem to blur and confuse the vision, and the closely set bars of the piers are positively irritating.
She screamed in terror, fighting to break his hold, while the trap above them opened, and the head and shoulders of the Southerner appeared, his pistol held in his outstretched hand. "Drop it, you hound!" he ordered fiercely. "Drop it!" The Northerner released his captive, but stood unmoved as he looked into the pistol's muzzle and the blazing eyes of the cornered scout.
With a smile she said, "Of course, papa will overlook my difference with him, for although I am a native of the South, I am by education and sympathy a Northerner." Mr. Wilson laughed, appearing rather pleased than otherwise at the manner in which his daughter had expressed herself. From this Georgiana took courage and continued,
Not a man cried out. All waited in hopeless expectancy. And then came a mighty yell from Northerner and Southerner alike, for Johnnie came crawling out of the end of the covered way he had actually passed through that frightful place and his clothes were ablaze, and he toppled over and fell into shallow water; and in a few moments he was dragged out, unconscious, and hurried to a hospital.
The roustabout apparently belonged to the conch tribe of which Milo had spoken. Thin. undersized. swarthy. with features that showed a trace of negro and perhaps of Indian blood as well, he had a furtive manner and seemed to cringe away from the Northerner as they set off across the clearing. toward the distant huts and still more distant orchards. He was bareheaded and stoop-shouldered.
The "James Adger," a Northern man-of-war, was refitted at Southampton as a matter of course. There was no blame to England for that. But the Nashville, belonging to the Confederates, should not have been allowed into English waters. It was useless to speak of neutrality. No Northerner would understand that a rebel could have any mutual right.
"Would you really?" And I think some light about me began to reach her. A Northerner willing to side against a Northern state! I was very glad that I had found that phrase to make clear to her my American creed. I proceeded. "I shall help to hand down all the glories and all the sadnesses; Lee's, Lincoln's, everybody's. But I shall not hand 'it' down." This checked her.
