The articles having been published in narrative style, it has been
thought well to present them again in that form; and the authors wish

the indulgence and patience of the reader, they send forth their
volume.

majestically,--as only such vessels can move,--passed the forts, and
sailed on, till at dusk, yet before dark, the Highlands of Neversink--a
misnomer to us then--retired from view, and, Byron-like, we felt and
