A second gun roared upon tho lawn that sloped from the tailor's house, and almost as loud was the shout that lake delivered to all hands to look alive and bring the guns to bear. The Tom Bowling was thrown into the wind and brought to a stand abreast of Labor's Retreat Plum took a turn with the helm and went to help afc the guns, and in a fetr minutes the three of a crew, with Westlake CObtibUorjSly bawling out orders to bear a hand and load carronades ttnd ii pivoted brass pouiider 6n the orecasfle.
