The hours pass wearily. We have waited weeks for home news, and, now that it is here, we must wait again-a day, two days-a week even, if it suits the flagship's convenience. At last the signals float and read: 'Letters for the --; come and get them.'
At last! The seals are broken and we read the news. One tells of a sick mother, dying, and longing to see her son. Another is from M--'s lady love: we know by the way he blushes, the fine hand and closely written pages, and various other symptoms. And our fleet of ironclads are busy at Charleston. Heaven help the cause they work for! Now we must hasten with our answers, to have them ready for sending at a moment's notice, when it is signalled: 'A vessel bound North, and will carry your mails, if ready.'
As the sun goes down, the horizon is lit up with bonfires stretching along the coast for miles.
