Let their last feeble and lingering glance rather behold the gorgeous ensign of the republic, now known and honored throughout the earth,' still full high advanced, its arms and trophies streaming in their...
Page 103 - My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still; My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will...
