2676 - L Oct. 21:4/4 - The meeting of welcome to Lieut. William Pitten-
ger in Chapin's hall last evening was an enthusiastic and brilliant
affair.
Lieutenant Pittinger gave an address narrating his personal observa-
tions and experiences in the South. He portrayed the workings of slav-
ery, and gave an outline of the adventures of himself and his companions,
of their journey into Rebel territory, the seizure of a railroad tra in
and an extraordinary run of 65 miles an hour to escape their pursuers,
the break-down of the train, and their capture, all of which formed one
of the most daring and thrilling narratives of suffering and trial ever
recorded in history.
His description of the execution of seven of his comrades was partic-
tº larly touching. His book entitled DARING AND SUFFER1|NG is now
being sold by his agent, Lieutenant Buffum. (10)
