The Tweed had been a wooden vessel, and he brought the tradition of quick passages with him into the iron clipper. He was dressed in a suit of English tweed, with an ulster on his arm, and a valise in his hand. He judged there was no time to be lost, and that the Tweed was not so far distant from the Thames that an army could not march from one river to the other, particularly when it was well commanded. |
