P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 633
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
After the draft riots in New York and in other cities, in July, 1863, myself and other members of the “Prudential Committee” which had been formed in Bridgeport were frequently threatened with personal violence, and rumors were especially rife that Lindencroft would some night be mobbed and destroyed. On several occasions, soldiers volunteered as a guard and came and stayed at my house, sometimes for several nights in succession, and I was also provided with rockets, so that in case of an attempted attack I could signal to my friends in the city and especially to the night watchman at the arsenal, who would see my rockets at Lindencroft and give the alarm. Happily these signals were never needed, but the rockets came in play, long afterwards, in another way.

白话
1863年7月纽约等地发生征兵暴乱后，我和布里奇波特“谨慎委员会”的成员经常受到人身威胁，尤其有传言说，林登克罗夫特庄园某天夜里会被暴徒围攻捣毁。有好几次，士兵们自愿来我家站岗，有时一连守好几个晚上；我还备了火箭，万一有人来袭击，就放火箭给城里的朋友报信，特别是给军械库的守夜人，他在林登克罗夫特能看到火箭，然后发出警报。幸运的是，这些信号一次也没用上，但很久以后，火箭却以另一种方式派上了用场。
