MUMBAUER Joseph R. Mumbauer, 80, husband of Carrie (Knerr) Mumbauer, secretary for several terms. She The' young lawyer clutched the rail of the British ship. His hands were sweaty, his spine cold, and the pounding of his heart seemed almost as deafening as the bombardment he watched. In the awful blackness of the night he could see Fort McHenry in the glare of rockets and the burst of bombs overhead.

Offshore the British guns thundered as they belched rire. Could the Fort last? Was the American flag still flying, and would it wave on or would the English march triumphantly into Baltimore by morning? The glare of battle lighted his eyes as he strained to see the Fort and the flag. In the dim gay shadow of dawn on that Sept. 14, 1814, he rubbed those eyes and wanted to laugh and cry and shout all at once, for the Stars and Stripes still waved above Fort McHenry. From his pockets the young lawyer, Francis Scott Key, took a pencil and on an envelope began to write the immortal words, "Oh, say, can you Bee by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?" When he wrote about "bombs bursting irN air," the lawyer Key remembered vividly what he had seen from the harbor.

What he had not seen, however, and what he did not know, wras that some of the bombs did not burst in air. In fact, foul- of them fell inside the fort and one of the four became the special souvenir of Capt. Frederick Evans of the 2nd Regt. of artillery, a Pennsylvanian from Juniata county.

When they were halfway between the town and their mill they were startled by a splintering crack like a shot. The horses jumped and Louis held tight to the reins. The brothers promptly discovered that the heavy bomb had broken through the floor. The captain jumped to the ground and pushed the iron ball with one foot. "May as well leaTe it here for now," he said.

"We can get it in the morning." Louis objected. "I think we ought to take it with us. Somebody might steal it, and after pushing it all the way up the river I don't intend to let it get away now." The captain laughed. "Neither do I. But nobody could steal that thing even if they wanted to.

It's too heavy. Come on. We'll come back for it." "Well maybe you're right But we'll come back early." To Louis, "early" meant dawn. He roused his brother and insisted that they put some planks in the wagon and return for the King's souvenir. They reinforced the wagon and started towards Thompsontown.

As they approched the spot where the bomb had fallen they saw men, women and children clustered in a circle. When the brothers drove up, several of their friends ran to the team and shook their hands in welcome. Many were not fully dressed and few had combed their hair. There was fright in their unwashed eyes. "You've picked a bad time for a homecoming, boys," one old man "None of us shall be here for long." The brothers jumped to the ground.

"What's happened?" Louis asked. The old man shrugged and pointed through the little crowd. "It's a sign from Heaven," he said. "A sign of disaster. Something tervible's going to happen." The boys looked at each other and started through the group.

They began to laugh. "Don't you know what that is, any of you?" Capt. Evans asked. They shook their heads, glared at him as though he were teasing Fate. None had ever seen a bomb before! A woman shook her finger in his face, "Whatever it is, Mr.

Evans, it's not good. It's much too heavy for a man to lift, so no human hand put it there. It came from the sky above. It's a warning, that's what it is, a solemn warning." The others nodded in agreement. The boys seized the bomb and slowly lugged it through a path cleared by the frightened onlookers.

They loaded it on the wagon, then Captain Evans explained how it had landed inside the Fort and had fallen through the wagon bed.
