revealed his identity. The proprietor said the man had given the name of
Spence, but he heard two of the sailors call him Sackett.

The following evening the general and his staff dined at the beautiful
home of one of the old and wealthy residents, and towards nine o'clock
Mr. Stuyvesant asked his general's permission to withdraw, as he had two
calls to make before returning aboard ship. They were to sail at dawn.

Bidding good-night and good-by to his charming hostess, and declining
the hospitable offer of a post-prandial "peg" from her genial lord, the
