From
Yankee Privateers...
“The rebels, sire. They
are everywhere in the fort!”
“Nonsense. They would not
be so bold as to attack this fort!”
“I am sorry to hear you
say that…ah, is it Colonel?” Fitch
stated as he stepped into the room. His
green Marine uniform attracted the full
attention of the officer.
“I am afraid you have me
at a disadvantage,” the officer stumbled.
“To whom do I have the pleasure of
speaking?” he asked, attempting to recover
his composure.
Fitch motioned for his men
to enter and directed them to search the
rooms. “You know what you are looking
for.” He then turned to the officer
standing there in his nightshirt. “Sir, I
am Lieutenant Josiah Fitch of the United
States Marines. And you sir, are...?”
“I, sir, am Colonel
Fitzhugh McPartlan of His Majesty’s Royal
Army. May I inquire as to your
intentions?”
