scription of the landing from the St Louis The first prisoner to land was slender and about medium height with a black beard lie wore two articles of clothing a soiled canvas jumper and a pair of dirty canvas trousers He was without hat or shoes and looked with a curious shifty glance at the old farm house and apple trees which monopolized the land view Behind him came the procession of pris oners They were nearly all dressed in duck trousers and jumpers although some had duck caps and a few blue shirts or ragged flannel coats Nearly all were barefoot As they formed in irregular groups on the side of the steep incline they looked like castaways They were a thin hungry looking lot without bag gage and generally with dark unkempt beards They did not seem dissatisfied with their lot The spectacle which the captured Spaniards presented when they came ashore was so pitiful on the whole that the Yankee crowd expressed good will and pity rather than hatred J sift GKXEKAIi PASDO T i jfar
