"But thar's one thing you've overlooked, in your proposition, Albach," said the old veteran called Nickolson. "Ef the seige be protracted, what are we to do for water?" Each face of the company blanched, and turned toward the speaker with a startled look.
It is not likely that this transaction was ever consummated, for less than three months after the lease was arranged and six months before Chartier was to take possession, all the buildings of the Sieur de Freneuse were burned, his cattle destroyed and his fields laid waste by Hawthorne's expedition returning from their unsuccessful seige of Fort Nachouac.
My first observations with regard to the art of impressing crowds and touching the slight assistance to be derived in this connection from the rules of logic date back to the seige of Paris, to the day when I saw conducted to the Louvre, where the Government was then sitting, Marshal V , whom a furious crowd asserted they had surprised in the act of taking the plans of the fortifications to sell them to the Prussians.
The second race of invaders, the Nemedians, were also given a war with the Fomorians, in the story of the seige of Conan's Tower.
John none was more conspicuous than our old friend, Captain Cobb, of the Province sloop "York;" a few words may fittingly be devoted to him. Sylvanus Cobb was born in Plymouth, New England, in 1709.

The two armies were ranged in two lines, the right of M. de Luxembourg's touching the left of the King's, the whole extending over three leagues of ground. After stopping ten days at Gevries, the two armies separated and marched. Two days afterwards the seige of Namur was declared. The King arrived there in five days.

The large English banks represented that there was a scarcity of currency, owing to the amount which had been hoarded and sent away during the seige, and they agreed in consideration of being allowed to import Mexican dollars free of duty, to guarantee the notes and accepted checks of the Spanish bank, which should be received by us in payment of customs up to $200,000 at any one time.
