To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Foster's few reliable workmen proved to be a bad investment. It is said that most of them, when they found the enemy were actually coming, hid in clos- ets, sheds, and under the beds, and some cried bit- terly.
While this was going on. Major Anderson and my- self stood side by side on the parapet, watching 'the scene through our spy-glasses. From his expressions of indignation, I was in hopes he would take prompt measures to close the harbor against any further en- croachments of the State troo...ps, made with a view, to occupy Fort Moultrie or Fort Johnson. It would have required but a short time to mount a few 4 74 REMINISCENCES OF pieces; and when these were once in position, it would have been easy to cut off all direct communi- cation by water between the different posts. In short, he could take entire possession of the harbor.
He did threaten to put out the lights in tlie light- houses with his artillery, and close the port in that way ; but his anger soon passed away, and he took no aggressive measures of any kind.
