REBECCA.
How a Female Drummer and
Her Friend Frightened
The British.
It was about uiuc o’clock in tho morn
ing when tho ship appeared. At once
there was tho greatest oxcitemont in tho
village. It was a British war ship.
What would she do? Would she tack
around in the bay, and pick up stray
coasters as prizes, or would she laud sol
diers and burn the town ? In either case
there would be trouble enough.
. Those were sad days, those old war
times in 1812. Tho sight of a British
war ship in Boston Bay was not pleasant.
We were poor then, and had nc moni
tors to go and sink tho enemy or drive
them oft’. Our navy was small, and
though wo afterwards had tho victory
and sent the troublesome ships away, nev
er to return, at that time they often came
near enough, and the good people in the
little village of Scituate Harbor were
iu great distress over the strange ship
that had appeared at the mouth of the
harbor.
It was a fishing place in those days,
and tho harbor was full of boats and
smacks of all kinds. The soldiers could
easily enter tho harbor and burn up ev
erything, and no one could prevent them.
There were men enough to make a good
fight, but they were poorly armed, and
had nothing but fowling pieces and shot
guns, while the soldiers had muskets and
cannon. The tide was down during the
morning, so that there was no danger for
a few hours; and all the people went out
on tho cliffs and beaches to watch
the ship and see wlint would happen
next.
Ou the end of tho low sand spit that
makes ono side of the harbor stood the
little white tower known ns Scituate
Light. In the house behind the light
lived the keeper’s family, consisting of
himself, wife, and several boys and girls.
At the same time the ship n'ppeared the
keeper was away, and there was no one
at homo save Mrs. Bates and the eldest
daughter, Rebecca, about fourteen years
old, two of the little boys, and a young
girl named Sarah Winksor, who was vis
iting Rehcccn.
Rebecca had been the first to discover
the ship, while she was in the lighthouse
tower polishing tho reflector. She at
once descended the steep stairs and sent
off tho hoys to tho village, to give the
alarm.
For nil hour or two the ship tacked and
stood o(T to sea; then tacked again, and
made for the shore. Men, women, and
children watched her with auxious inter
est. Then tho tide turned, and began to
(low into tho harbor. The boats aground
on the fiats floated, and those in deep
water swung around at their moorings.
Now the soldiers would probably land.
If the people meant to save anything it
was time to he stirring. Boats were hast
ily put out from the wharf, and such
clothing, nets, and ether valuables as
could he handled wore brought ashore,
loaded into hoy carts, and carried away.
It was no use to resist. The soldiers,
of course, were well armed, and if the
people made a stand among the houses
that would not prevent the enemy from
destroying the shipping.
As the tide spread out over the sandy
flats, it filled the harbor so that, instead
of a small channel, it became a wide
and beautiful bay. The day was fine,
and there was a gentle breeze rippling
the water and making it sparkle in the
sun. What a splendid day for fishing
or sailing. Not much use to think of
either while that war ship crossed and
recrossed before the harbor mouth.
About two o’clock tho title reached
the high-water murk,and, to the dismay
of the people, the ship let go her an
chor, swung her yards around, about
half a mile from the first cliff. They
were going to land to burn the town.
With their spy glasses the people could
seo tho boats lowered to take soldiers
on shore.
Ah ! then there was confusion and
uproar. Every horse in the village was
put into some kind of a team, and tho
women and children were hurried off
to the woods behind the town. The
men would stay and offer as brave
a resistance as possible. The
guns were light and poor, hut
they could use tho old fish house
as a fort, and perhaps mako a brave
fight of it. If worse came to worse,
they could at last retreat and take to the
shelter of tho woods.
It was a splendid sight. Five large
boats manned by sailors, and filled by
soldiers in gray and red coats. How
their guns glittered in the sun. The
oars all moved in regular order, and the
officers, in their fine uniform, stood up
to direct the expedition. It was a
courageous company, come with a war
ship and cannon to fight helpless fisher
men.
So Rebecca Bates and Sarah Windsor
thought as they sat up in the lighthouse
looking down on the procession of boats
as it went past the point and entered the
harbor.
“ Oh ! if I were only a man !” cried
Rebecca.
“What could you do? See wlmt a
lot of them; and look at their guns.”
“ I don’t care. I’d fight. I’d use
father’s old shot gun—anything.
Think of uncle’s now boat and the
sloop.”
“ Yes; and all the boats.”
“ It’s too bad, isn’t it?”
“Yes: and to think that we must
hear and see it all, and not lift a finger
to help.” *
“ Do you thipk there will be a fight ? :
“I don’t know. Uncle and father
are in the village, they will do all they
can.”
“See how still it is in tho town.
There’s not a man to bo seen.”
“ Oh, they are hiding till the soldiers
are nearer. Then wo shall hear shots
and the drum.”
“ Tho drum! How can they! Its
here. Father brought it homo to mend
it last night.”
“ Did lie ? Oh, then let’s—”
“ See the first boat lias reached the
Bloop. Oh, oh I They are going to
burn her.”
“ Isn’t it mean ?”
“ It’s too bad!—too—”
“ Where is that drum ?”
“ It’s in the kitchen.”
“ I’ve a groat mind to go down and
beat it.”
What good would that do ?”
“Scare ’em.”
“They’d see it was only two girls, and
they would laugh and go on burning,
just the same.”
“ No. We could hide behind tho sand
hills and the hushes. Come let’s—”
“ Oh, look! look! the sloop’s afire 1”
“ Come, I can’t stay and see any more,
The cowardly Britishers, to burn the
boats. Why don’t they go up to the town
and fight like—”
“Como, let’s get the drum. It’ll do no
harm; and perhaps—”
“ AVell, let’s. There’s a fife, too ; we
might take that with us.”
“Yes; and we’ll—”
No time for further talk. Down the
steep stairs of the tower rushed these two
young patriots, bent on doing what they
could for their country. They burst into
the kitchen like a whirlwind, with rosy
cheeks and flying hair. Mrs. Bates sat
sorrowfully gazing out of the window at
the scene of destruction going on in the
harbor, and praying for her country and
that the dreadful war might soon be over.
•She could not help it. Son and husband
were shouldering their poor old guns in
the town, and there was nothing to do but
to watch and wait and pray.
Not so tho two girls. They meant to
do something, and in the fever of excite-
meut they got the drum and took • the
cracked, fife from the bureau drawer.
Mrs. Bates, intent on tho scene outside,
did not heed them, and they slipped out
by the back door, uunoticed.
They must he careful or the soldiers
would see tiicm. They went back around
the house to the nortli and towards the
outside beach, and then turned and
ploughed through the deep sand just
ahovo high water mark. They must
keep out of sight of the boats, ana of the
ship, also. Luckily, she was south of the
light; and as tho beach curved to the
the West they soon left her out of sight.
Then they took the water side, and, with
the drum between them, ran as fast as
they could towards tho mainland. Pres
ently they reached the low heaps of sand
that showed where the spit joined field
and woods.
Panting and excited, they tightened up
the drum and tried the fife softly.
“ You take tho fife, Sarah, and I’ll
drum.”
“All right; but we musn’t stand still.
We must march along tho shore towards
the light ”
“Won’t they sec us?”
“No; we’ll walk next the wateron the
outside beach.”
■‘Oh, yes; and they’ll think it’s sol
diers going down to the point to head
them off.”
“Just so. Come, begin. One, two—
one, two!”
Drum! drum! I drum !!!
Squeak I squeak! I squeak I!!
‘‘For’ard—march I”
“ Ha! ha I”.
The fife stopped.
“Don’t laugh. You’ll spoil every
thing, and I can’t pucker my lips.”
Drum! drum !! arum!!!
Squeak! squeak I! squeak!!!
The men in town heard it, and were
amazed beyond measure. Had the sol
diers arrived from Boston ? What did
it mean ? Who were coming ?
Louder and louder on theDreezo came
the roll of a sturdy drum and tho sound
of a brave fif'«. Tho soldiers iu the boats
heard the noise, and paused in their work
of destruction. The officers ordered ev
erybody into tho boats in the greatest
haste. The people were rising I They
were coming down the point to head
them off! They would all bo captured,
and perhaps hanged by the dreaded
Americans.
How the drum rolled! The fife
changed its tuno. It played “ Yankee
Doodle”—that horrid tune! • Hark ! the
men were cheering in the town; there
were thousands of them in the woods
along the jshoro!
In grim silence marched the two girls
—plodding over the sharp stones, splosh
ing through the puddles—Rebecca beat
ing tho old drum with might and main,
Sarah blowing tho fifo with shrill deter
mination.
How tho Britishers scrambled into
their boats! One of the brave officers
was nearly left behind on the burning
sloop. Another fell overboard, and wet
his good clothes in his haste to escape
from the American army marching down
the beach—a thousand strong! How the
sailors pulled ! No fancy rowing now,
butdesperato haste to get out of the
place and escape to tho ship.
How the people yelled and cheered on
the shore! Fifty men or more jumped
into boats to prepare for the chase.
Ringing shouts began to crack over the
water.
Louder and louder rolled the terrible
drum. Sharp and clear rang out the
cruel fife.
Nearly exhausted, half dead with fa
tigue the girls toiled on—tearful, laugh
ing, ready to drop ou tho wet sand, and
still heating and blowing with fiery cour-
ago.
Tho boats swept swiftly out of the har
bor on tho outgoing tide. Tho fisher
men came up with tho burning boats.
Part stopped to put out the fire, and the
rest pursued tho flying cuomy with such
shots ns they could get at them. In tho
midst of it all tho sun wont down.
Tho redcoats did not return a shot.
They expected every minute to see a
thousand men open on them at a short
range, from the beach, and they re
served their powder.
Out of the harbor they went in
confusion and dismay. The ship
weighed anchor, and ran out her big
guns, put did not fire a shot. Darkness
went down on the scene as the boats
reachod the ship. Then she sent a round
shot towards the light. It fell short,
and threw a great fountain of white
water into the air.
The girls saw it, and, dropping their
drum and fife, sat down on the beach
and laughed till they cried.
That night the ship sailed away. The
great American army of two had ar
rived and she thought it prudont to
retreat in time.
Rebecca is still living, old and feeble
in body, but brave in spirit and strong
in patriotism. She told this story
herself to the writer, and it is true.

Black Hills.—Cheyenne, Wyoming
Ter., June 28.—Indian Inspector Daniels
arrived here to-day from Red Cloud
Agency, bringing with him proper
papers, signed by the Indians, relin
quishing their rights in Nebraska. He
feels certain that if the Northern In

treating for the Black Hills. He reports
that he met a large number of miners
between here and White river, cn route
to Custer’s Gulch.
J. S. Collins, Secretary of the Black
Hills Commission, reached here to-day
and leaves for the Agencies to-morrow.
Postmaster-General Jewell explains
that the increase in the rate to be
charged for registered letters, from eight
to ten cents, has been made necessary
by the fact that this branch of the
service has not been paying expenses.
The law leaves the rate optional with
the Postmaster-General, and Creswell
reduced it from fifteen to eight cents.
There were 4,500,000 letters registered
last year. t _ r

THE ROME G0URIER!
PUBLISHED'
WEEKLY l| Titl-UKIX
Established in 1843.
T HE LONG-ESTABLISHED REPUTATION
of THE COURIER as a first-olass journal
has given it a wide circulation ia Cherokee
Georgia, and an influenco and position not sur*
passod by any paper in this region of the fitato.
It has always been a bold and determined do-
fonder of the rights of the peoplo and the advo
cate of the interests of this section.
ITS POLITICS.
While THE COURIER is thoroughly Demo
cratic, It has never surrendered its right to
condemn all impolltlo measures whether they
originate with its own party or that of tho oppo
sition. No paper can bo truly Democratic that
ii not truly independent. To bo mcroly partisan
is descending to a lovel of subserviency THE
COURIER will Lover stoop to. Fealty to
tho Democratic party is based on the principle
that the Democratic party shall be true in the
People—that the machinery of its organisation
shall bo controlled by the people, and not by
trioksters and office-seekers who may desire to
uie It for lolfiih purposes and tor the promotion
of the aspirations and intrigues of rings and
cliques.
AS A NEWSPAPER,
THE COURIER will be found equal to that ol
any journal in the Stats with the same adran-
taros as to its looatlon and Sold of labor. No
pains will bo spared to oollata such i.eord ot
tasslne ovents as to giro Us readers a general
.dea of the current news of the day, and to keep
them posted on all matters affootlng their rights
and loterests.
