The speaker added, that with all the vanity of
the

conceits he could not be surpassed even by the erudite Dr. Easley, who
contemplated himself the most learned scholar and critic,) he sometimes spoke
such sense as to make the listener mistake him for a wise man. He next afforded
them much diversion by relating what passed when he informed the major how the
squadron had come in search of him, and were delighted at being first to do him
honor. Every one present entered immediately into the joke they resolved to
carry out on the following day, which was arranged with great deliberation, lest

And now that Aurora had taken down her
shutters, and was filling the eastern sky with pale, misty light, that threw an
halo over the deep, dark foliage of the mountain heights, reflecting their
shadows along the still, polished waters, so lovely was the morning, so like a
picture of repose each object, and the whole so invested with a mysterious
stillness, that one might have mistaken it for a fairy scene. The yacht squadron
was ranging alongside of the "Two Marys," forming a port and starboard line,
with the Commodore off the weather bow.

sun peeped out from the watery horizon, two guns were discharged from the
Commodore's yacht, and so loud was the report that the major suddenly stopped
his snoring, and springing to his feet in a state of great confusion, began to
call out at the top of his voice that the sloop was sinking. But he as suddenly
regained his senses, and called to mind the honors that were to be paid him, he
felt great alarm lest he had overslept himself, and besought Captain Luke

as Captain Luke took no heed of his request, and thought only of getting into
port, the major, in his great anxiety, ran himself upon deck in his shirt, and
cut so sorry a figure that no man would have envied him. All was as still and
lonely as the Lybian coast-not a wail came over the sea. Now only the dull
stillness was broken by some forlorn robin whistling his song along the
shore.

into his breeches and boots. He then drew from under a pile of rubbish in one of
the berths, a pair of holsters, he declared were presented to him by General
Jefferson Davis, for gallant deeds done during the Mexican War, though no
sensible man would have given a dime for them. With these, and his saddle and
bridle, he again repaired upon deck, where, after no little exertion, he got old
Battle upon his feet.
