| The Norfolk Navy-Yard |
| It will be seen that this yard has proved
a prize indeed, and that, after all, very little damage was done to
it. The incendiaries were hurried in their work by the idea that
immense reinforcements to the Virginia camp were arriving every half
hour, which impression was produced by the constant moving of railroad
trains, with a prodigious clatter through the night, an
ingenious device for which the President of the Norfolk &
Petersburg Railroad deserves infinite
credit. |
