About this book

Oliver Optic wrote Taken by the Enemy. Captain Passford tells the captain of the steamer to see that the pilot is paid his full fee for taking the vessel to a wharf. Captain Passford says the vessel will not go up to the city, but that this makes no difference in the pilot's fees.

The wife asks Horatio what is the matter, in the tenderest of tones. A man seen to rise from a quantity of hay asks whether the sergeant is Spottswood, and the sergeant replies that he has two prisoners, that one of them is the man's brother, and that he does not know who the other is. The major asks whether the sergeant is sure that one of the prisoners is his brother, and the sergeant answers that he is as sure as he can be, for he heard the other fellow call him Percy two or three times.
