The troops came out, and I waited for the result, which was the discovery that the call was due to a misunderstanding of the signal rockets. I left Annapolis in a small steam tug that came out of the Raritan Canal. We were buffeted about in the bay by a heavy wind, the captain lost his reckoning, anchored, and the next morning we found ourselves uncomfortably near to the Maryland shore.
Bricks has a couple of Santa Anna's game cocks for me, on board the Raritan, at Lewis's wharf. Can you run down and get 'em from the steward? Yrs, &c." The governor smiled as he handed back the note, but made no remark. "Where can I communicate with you, sir?" he asked. "Dog and Thistle, Blackstone Street. I'll write my address."
The fine estuary which penetrates the American coast, between the fortieth and forty-first degrees of latitude, is formed by the confluence of the Hudson, the Hackensack, the Passaic, the Raritan, and a multitude of smaller streams; all of which pour their tribute into the ocean, within the space named.
These appearances obliged him to make detachments from the militia of his army, to overawe the disaffected of Monmouth, who were on the point of assembling in force. As the British army crossed the Passaic, General Washington abandoned his position behind that river; and the day Lord Cornwallis entered Newark, he retreated to Brunswick, a small village on the Raritan.
In 1745 Muhlenberg conducted a visitation at Raritan, induced Wolff to resign, sent them Kurtz and 1747 Schaum as temporary supply-pastors, and finally, in 1748, induced the congregation to call J. A. Weygand.
I like not the looks of yonder cloud, which is rising from out the mouth of Raritan; and here, seaward, we have a gloomy horizon. By Heaven! there is a sail playing in the offing or my eye hath lost its use and judgment."
The heights in front commanded a prospect of the course of the Raritan, the road to Philadelphia, the hills about Brunswick, and a considerable part of the country between that place and Amboy, so as to afford him a full view of the most interesting movements of the enemy.
From Allentown there were two roads to New York one on the left, passing through South Amboy to the North river; the other on the right, leading to Sandy Hook. The first of these was somewhat shorter but the river Raritan lay in the way and it might be difficult and dangerous to pass it in presence of a hostile force.
But both houses, and the old 'New York, burned like tinder. The vessels fired were the 'Pennsylvania, the 'Merrimac, the 'Germantown, the 'Plymouth, the 'Raritan, the 'Columbia, and the 'Dolphin. The old 'Delaware' and 'Columbus," worn-out and disabled seventy-fours, were scuttled, and sunk at the upper docks on Friday.
I did think of doing something with a few papers I've got in my berth on the Raritan, but I don't know." "Why not let me have a look at them?" I said. "I might act as a sort of an agent for you, unpaid of course " "Much obliged," said Mr. Carville placidly, "but I don't know as you need bother. I threw a book over the side once." "A manuscript!" I said, aghast. He nodded, looking at his boots.
