George had beggared himself to pay his son's debts had wiped that clear. He was simply announcing a fact that caused him the deepest concern. St. George's face paled, and for a moment a peculiar choking movement started in his throat. "Bankrupt! the Patapsco! How do you know?" He had heard some ugly rumors at the club a few days before, but had dismissed them as part of Harding's croakings.
Ross Winans's friction-wheel car, with nearly forty people in it, making its trial trip behind a horse at a gallop. At the Relay House, where the horses on the railroad were changed, Milburn remarked, gazing up the Patapsco valley: "My wife, we are here at the birth of this little iron highway.
George looked closer into his antagonist's face, trying to read the cause. "Always with the Patapsco. I have kept my account there for years," he rejoined simply. "Why do you want to know?" "Because it has closed its doors or will in a few hours. It is bankrupt!" There was no malice in his tone, nor any note of triumph. That St.
It was armed with forty-two pounders, and some cannon of smaller caliber, but all totally ineffective to reach the British ships in their chosen position. In addition, a small earth battery at the Lazaretto which, it will be seen, did good service guarded the important approach to the city by the north branch of the Patapsco; while Fort Coventry protected the south branch.
The southward approach to Baltimore is very well managed. The railroad makes an abrupt curve, as it sweeps round the marshy woodlands through which the Patapsco opens into the bay; so that you have a fair view of the entire city, swelling always upwards from the water's edge, on a cluster of low, irregular hills, to the summit of Mount Vernon.
Men are poor, only because they are ignorant; for if they possessed a knowledge of their own powers and capabilities, they would then know, that however wealth may be distributed, all real wealth is created by labour, and by labour alone. Baltimore is seated on the north side of the Patapsco river, within a few miles of the Chesapeak bay.
George; such small sums as he possessed were hived in this same Patapsco Bank, but the cashier had never refused to honor one of his checks as long as he had any money in their vaults, and he didn't think they would begin now. "Why does it interest you?" "Well, you always say you despise money and yet you seem happy and contented, well dressed, well groomed" here he wheeled St.
The command, on the death of this energetic officer, devolved upon Colonel Brooke. The British light troops continued to come up and the enemy fell back, still skirmishing from behind the trees, to a fortified position stretching across a narrow neck of land, which separated the Patapsco and the Back Rivers.
Almost every one in and around Kennedy Square had been crippled in their finances by the failure, not only of the Patapsco, but by kindred institutions, during the preceding few years. Why, then, they argued, should any one criticise such economies as Temple was practising?
The army of General Ross was recalled to the transports and was set ashore at the mouth of the Patapsco River while the ships sailed up to bombard Fort McHenry, where the star-spangled banner waved. To defend Baltimore by land there had been assembled more than thirteen thousand troops under command of General Samuel Smith.
