Only a little disturbance, or the threat of one, in the vicinity of Senator Corson's residence. His secretary called up. I sent a few boys down there." "A disturbance?" barked North. "I didn't quite gather the details. The man ran his words together." General Totten helped himself to one of his brother-in-law's cigars. "This sounds serious. Why the infernal blazes don't you wake up?"
Shirley was shot through the brain. Poison was dead. Totten, Hamilton, Wright, Stone, were dead. Spendelow had fallen, pierced by three bullets. The ground was strewn with dead and wounded. Horses, maddened by wounds, dashed through the ranks and into the forest, often bearing their riders to an awful death.
He ordered me to report, with the engineer company, to General Worth; and the latter directed me to report to the General Headquarters. On the same day I was ordered by Colonel Totten, Chief Engineer, to find and cut off the underground-aqueduct which conveyed water into Vera Cruz. That business was effectually accomplished by the engineer company on the 13th.
General Totten had locked the doors and was nervously jangling the keys. "Amos, what kind of a fool have you been making yourself with your orders?" the Governor demanded. "I I think some instructions of mine in regard to admitting any of those persons whose seats are in dispute probably those orders were misconstrued.
"There was never a situation in state history like this one you have precipitated, sir, and if I have made an ass of myself I was copying current manners." "It is a strange situation, I'll admit, Senator," Morrison agreed. "As a newsmonger, you say, do you, that minutes are valuable?" "Yes, sir!" "Well, we'd better find out how valuable they are. Will you send General Totten below to investigate?"
He sent also for young Crane the man Totten had named, and who had not been among the complainants of the evening before. "Mr. Crane," announced the superintendent, "you know, of course, the name of the midshipman who assaulted and knocked you down before the other three midshipmen interfered in the matter?"

"Dere ban whole lot o' dem gone off on de nap, too," asserted the guard, offering defense for himself.
Morrison surveyed appraisingly the panoplied adjutant-general. "I'd never think of making General Totten an errand-boy, sir, if I'm to imply that I have any say in affairs just now." "You have assumed all say! You have put gentlemen in a position where they can't help themselves." The Senator scowled in the direction of Rellihan.
Hi, there, Tom Totten," he cried, as he tickled the defeated man's ribs with the toe of his boot, "so this is the way ye spend ye'r evenin's, eh? Why don't ye git up an' let us see what a purty face ye have? It never was much to look at, though I guess it's a sight fer sore eyes now. Ho, ho, this is the best lark I've had in years, hey, Empty?" "Ye bet," and the lad smacked his lips.
"I was apprehensive, 'pon my soul. He stuck like a leech up to the last minute." R. Schmidt was reflecting. "It struck me as queer that he had not heard of the transfer of our securities in London." I cannot understand Bernstein & Sons selling out at a time when the price of our bonds is considerably below their actual value," said Totten, frowning."
