"See here, Reisen," said the Doctor, "I want you to pack your trunk, take the late boat, and go to Biloxi or Pascagoula, and spend a month fishing and sailing." The baker pushed his fingers up under his hat, scratched his head, smiled widely, and pointed at Richling. "Sendt him."
Rowdy thinking a new game was on began pulling the boy about until all hands were arrested by a cry from Arnold, who still remained at the wheel. "Land Ho!" came his cry down the companion-way. "Land on the starboard bow. All hands on deck!" "Sure enough!" cried the lads. "There's a light, too!" "I'll wager that's Pascagoula," Tom said.
As if in answer to his query the marine clock chimed two bells. "Two bells," called Harry. "Nine o'clock for landsmen." "We'd better be getting over to the fort if we're going," urged Arnold. "We should not wait around here all night." "Wait a minute," advised Jack. "I think we'd better deliver to Mr. Harrison the bundle of dynamite we found aboard the Fortuna at Pascagoula.
"That was the dynamite that Wyckoff planted on the Fortuna in Pascagoula and Jack stumbled over it and brought it here and we planted it a moment ago." "I shouldn't wonder if you're right," agreed Harrison. "It must be that one of the negroes struck it just right with his shovel." "But where are the negroes?" asked Frank. "I can't see a one. How many were there in the first place?"
George Farragut continued to live in Pascagoula, and there he died on the 4th of June, 1817, in his sixty-second year.
I can call to mind only one person, an officer, who died of the disease. My regiment was sent to Pascagoula, Mississippi, to spend the summer. As soon as it was settled in camp I obtained a leave of absence for four months and proceeded to St. Louis. On the 22d of August, 1848, I was married to Miss Julia Dent, the lady of whom I have before spoken.

"Then in that case," Jack stated, "Pascagoula lies just about northwest of us. If our compass hadn't been disarranged by the horseshoe, we'd have been in the harbor by this time," he added. "Your compass disarranged by a horseshoe?" queried Frank. "Yes," was Jack's laughing rejoinder. "Did you ever hear such a tale? And it was lucky for you it happened.
The Biloxi were awakened one night by the sound of wings and the rising of the river. Going forth they saw the waters of Pascagoula heaped in a quivering mound, and bright on its moonlit crest stood a mermaid that sang to them, "Come to me, children of the sea. Neither bell, book, nor cross shall win you from your queen."
Town after town they evacuated before the savages, and at last the Biloxi, reduced to a few thousands, were driven to the mouth of the Pascagoula River, Mississippi, where they intrenched themselves, and for a few months withstood the invaders. But the time came when their supplies were exhausted, and every form was pinched with hunger. Flight was impossible.
