Having retired to my own room after the dinner was over, I had my own private thoughts for the Fourth of July. How dependent we are on the associations of the past for our joys — our sorrows — and, to me, of onward hopes. 232 THE BROAD PENNANT WATERING THE PRINCETON. BATTLE OF THE SQUIBS. On the 7th of July, signals having been made, the Cum- berland, Potomac, and Princeton got under way, and stood north and west — the ships passing the Castle near enough to give the Mexicans an opportunity to ...try their long guns, as we leisurely moved by the fortification, and minutely ex- amined its line of battlements and outer batteries, and the formation of the embankments and ditches — all within the vision of the naked eye, but more distinctly read by the glasses. The embrasures showed many a threatening piece ; but the Mexicans seemed to be quite satisfied with themselves by making telegraphic evolutions with wonderful facility on the top of the Castle ; and our ships still glided on their course unnoticed without any solicitude being felt, and appa- rently to the admiration and wonder of the gazers both at the Castle and along the streets of Vera Cruz.
