At West Point we found the Logan totally disabled by the recent storm, and were thus forced to take passage with about forty others on board of a small sized river pungey or sloop. Our crew consisted only of a Captain, Crockett by name, and another, a son of Ham, whose Scriptural title, Lot, contrasted strangely with that of our Captain's. In a few minutes our canvas was spread and filled with propitious breezes, which bore us swiftly over the placid bosom of the broad and beautiful York. About night we found ourselves in a dead calm. The sails flapped lazily against the mast, and our little schooner lay sweetly asleep on the breast of the peaceful waters. Thus we dragged through the long hours of the lonely night, and reached our destination about two o'clock the next morning. But we found it utterly impossible to make a landing.
