 Description: The loftier turrets of the Moro Castle were still sheathed with gold, from the reflection of the setting sun, while its embrasures and bastions lower down — its walls, still lower — and the harbor and town, far beneath, lay in the soft shadows of the first tremulous twilight. A moment more, and the last sunbeam disappeared, like a blaze suddenly extinguished, from the topmost pinnacle of the cloud-capped fortress; and the simultaneous roar of a heavy piece of ordnance, from the platform of the Castle, told the world of Havana that the sun had set.
