Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rebel and the Rover, or the King's Cruisers
The blazing sun of a summer's day was at its meridian, when the usually peaceable' citizens of the three-billed city were startled from their propriety by a heavy cannonading in the harbor. Peal upon peal from brazen throats of a score of guns, in rapid suc cession, reverberated through the narrow streets, causing frail tenements to tremble and panes of glass to shiver with each successive concussion. It was the day succeeding the one on which occurred the summary trial of George Winchester. Throngs of people, with hurried footsteps made their way towards the wharves — some out of mere curiosity, surmising the cause of the firing; others, with fear and trembling whether or not a foreign squadron had arrived, and had actually commenced bombarding the town.
