Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A True Romance of Rebellion One day in the month of December, 1863, when I was the Assistant Adjutant-General of the Military District of Philadelphia, a gentleman called at head-quarters to relate his experience of the day before. On the train from New York he sat beside an unkempt, loquacious woman, who seemed to be under the influence of liquor or some hallucination. In a rambling sort of way she spoke of the capture of the steamer Chesapeake between New York and Portland by rebel emissaries a few days before, and after a time confidently informed her restive and unwilling listener, in an undertone, that something of a similar character was about to be consummated which would be of much greater importance, and would give the military authorities a big scare; she knew all about it; would have a hand in it herself, and much more exaggerated gossip, all tending, however, to indicate that a vessel was being prepared in our city for acquiescent abduction, and that she was in the secret. The only thing mentioned of a tangible nature was her final reminder to my informant to keep his eyes and ears open until he heard of the bark AI, and then to recollect what she had told him.
