Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blue Jackets of 1812: A History of the Naval Battles of the Second War With Great Britain, to Which Is Prefixed an Account of the French War of 1798 Such were the characteristics of the crowd that had assembled that day to witness the closing scene of British domination in America. Even as they stood there, they heard, faintly rising on the autumnal air, the sound of the fife and drum, as the American troops came marching down into the city, from their camp at the upper end of the island. And, as the last boat-load of grenadiers pushes off from the shore, the crowd, no longer restrained by the glittering bayonets, rushes down to the water's edge, and hurls taunts and gibes after the retreating boats, until the grizzled old soldiers curse the Yankee rebels fiercely, under their mus taches, and beg the officers to give them a volley.
