His brain was keen and incisive; and some of his briefs will be studied as long as the art of telephony exists. He might fairly have been compared, in action, to a rapid-firing Gatling gun; while Smith was a hundred-ton cannon, and Lockwood was the maker of the ammunition. Smith and Storrow had three main arguments that never were, and never could be, answered.
Storrow, on the contrary, was a small man, quiet in manner, conversational in argument, and an encyclopedia of definite information.

Some of the refugees made a public demonstration from Vermont, but precipitately fled before a small force which met them. At St.
