This carriage was a ' large round box, which opened in the rear, u and it was at this portion of it that lift aswn- ' ded to his seat. It was drawn 1 ?y two stout 11 V J .j borsea. harnessed landain fashion, and on - i) the lead horse his groom was mounted.? ji This was his travelling style ; his wife usual- I ly preceded him in her carriage, and ho, '* whip in hand, brought up the rear, the lit- J1 tie out-rider forming a striking contrast to j V \ tbe stalwart statesman. t There are many anecdotes current about I Mr.Lewis, most of them touching his-groat v aflze, of which he was exceedingly sensitive. c r.7 . It is well known to everybody that when ( i\ ^;the collision occurred between the two \ > <? steamers off the North Carolina coast, Mr. "vJ'v" Lewis refused to leave the sinking steamer, 1 K; * until every human being had been safely 1 provided for. Mrs. William C. Preston ( 7 was present, and,testified to his gallantry s on the occasion. He was brought back to tyfr- Charleston, where he remained several days. 1 "I like the people of Charleston," said lie to c j.;: ' a friend, "for they can pass a man in the street j rfi'j ?. 1 .. 1.
