AN EPISODE OF WAR
Tho Only Coward Evans Ever Saw In
the Naval Service
After Admiral Evans had been so
grievously wounded In the attack on
Fort Fisher during the civil war he
was picked up by a marine named
Wasmouth and carried Into compara
tive shelter Wasmouth was killed a
few minutes later Evans own ac
count continues After Wasmouth
was killed 1 soon fell asleep and when
1 awoke it was some time before I
could recall my surroundings The
tide had come in and the hole in
which I was lying was nearly full of
water which had about covered me
and was trickling into my ears I
could see a monitor tiring and appar
ently very near and the thought came
to me that 1 could swim off to her if I
only had a bit of plank or driftwood
but this 1 could not get It was plain
enough that 1 should soon be drowned
like a rat in a hole unless 1 managed
to get out somehow Dead and wound
ed men were lying about In ghastly
piles but no one to lend me a helping
hand By this time I could not use
my legs in any way and when 1 dug
my hands into the sides of my prison
and tried to pull myself out the sand
gave way and left me still lying in V
water Finally I made a strong OiToi
rud rolled myself sideways out of tj
hole
I When 1 uot out 1 saw a marine
short distance away nicely covered b
a pile of sand and firing away delibcr
ately at the fort I called to him to
pull me in behind his bar of sand but
he declined on the ground that the fire
was too sharp for him to expose him
self I persuaded him with my re
volver to change his mind and in two
seconds he had mo in a place of safe
tythat is to say safe by a small mar
gin for when he fired the Confederate
bullets wotild snip the sand within a
few inches of our heads If the ma
rine had known that my revolver was
soaking wot and could not possibly be
Cred I suppose 1 would have been
buried the nest morning as many oth
er poor fellows were As soon as I
could reach some cartridges from a
dead sailor lying near me I loaded my
revolver thinking it might be useful
before the job was finished
Vrhen I was jerked in behind this
pile of sand I landed across the body
of the only coward I ever saw in the
naval service At first I was not con
scious that there wrs a man under me
so completely had he worked himself
into the sand He was actually below
the surface of the ground The moni
tors were firing over us and a a shell
came roaring by he pulled his knees up
to his chin which hurt me as it jostled
my broken legs I said Hello Are
you wounded No sir he replied I
am afraid to move All right then
I said keep quiet and dont hurt my
legs again The next shell that came
over he did the same thing and the j
next notwithstanding my repeated cau
tions So I tapped him between the
eyes with the butt of my revolver and
he was quiet after that
The Glove on the Pole
A quaint custom in an English tovn
noniton is proclaiming the fair The
town obtained the grant of a fair from
the lord of the manor so long ago as
1237 and the fair still retains some of
the picturesque characteristics of by
gone days The town crier dressed in
picturesque uniform and carrying a
pole decorated with- gay flowers and
surmounted by a large gilt model of a
gloved hand publicly announces the
opening of the fair as follows Oyez
Oyez Oyez The fairs begun the
glove is up No man can be arrested
till the glove is taken down not
coins are then thrown among the chil
dren The pole and glove remains dis
played until the end of the fair
How Hammer cf Death Struck James
The old parish church of Plumstead
