That's odd. Why would Huger direct Humphrey's not to let any arms leave the Aresnal and then leave town? He knew of the activity Anderson was conducting at Sumter and had to at least think supplies may be ordered in. Why would Humphrey's even make such a crazy statement that they were to be returned? Were they not property of the US government and for use by the troops such as Andersons? Wonder if the SC Militia was getting very vocal about the 18th?
