So many horses had fallen that two pieces were left until the teams could be brought back for them, which was successfully done through the gallantry of Captain Thwaites. The action of these batteries was one of the few gleams of light in a not too brilliant day's work. With splendid coolness and courage they helped each other by alternate retirements after the retreating infantry had passed them.
You cannot expect that I should ask you to my house. My wife, you know, is a very religious woman what is called evangelical; but that's neither here nor there: I deal with all people, churchmen and dissenters even Jews, and don't trouble my head much about differences in opinion. I dare say there are many ways to heaven; as I said, the other day, to Mr. Thwaites, our member.
Captain Thwaites had been anxiously awaiting the return of the boat from up the river, for, in spite of all inquiries, he had been unable to get any tidings of her till just as Mr Brooke arrived, to find the owners of the boat he had taken, on board making application for payment.
But, at a later time, according to a tradition related by Dr. R. G. Thwaites, this was the scene of a tragic affair. When the growing fur-trade made this route very important, the Fox Indians living here made a good thing out of carrying goods over the trail and helping the empty boats over the rapids. They eventually became obnoxious by taking toll from passing traders.
I think I read somewhere once, in a paper, about a Malay prahu being taken by the captain of a ship pretending to be helpless, and this made the prahu, which could sail twice as fast as his ship, come close up to attack him."

Is that so, Tom?" "Exactly so, sir. And Jack Thwaites that was the name of the man in New York told four others about it, and three took his tip and didn't sail. The fourth went; but he wasn't drowned. He came out all right." "The departed are certainly proved to appear in their own ghostly persons nay, they often have been seen to do so," admitted Travers.
