Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Naval Engagement: A Marine Narrative of Love and War It seems that it had been rumored the day the packet sailed that the Southern states had seceded and fired upon the Union troops, but no further details could be obtained up to the time of sailing. Elisha, as soon as he heard this, requested Mr. Thorn to accept his resignation and let him have what salary was due him, as he desired to immediately return to the States to enlist with the Union forces. Mr. Thorn tried to dissuade him and made an effort to assure him that the disturbance was trivial and would soon be over. Elisha, however, refused to see the matter in this light and insisted politely upon his request being granted. Mr. Thorn finally, seeing how determined the boy was, made a last effort saying that he hardly felt at liberty to comply in the absence of specific instructions from the elder Remsen, in view of the fact that Elisha had been left in his special care and the further fact that he yet lacked nearly three months of being of age. Mr. Thorn may have taken advantage of this argument, owing to his sympathy for the Southern cause, shared by many Englishmen at the time. Consequently he was inclined to throw every obstacle possible in the way of young Remsen, or any one else, going to the States with the intention of entering the Northern army.
