The Daily Dispatch: June 22, 1863., [Electronic resource], The loss of the C. S. Steamer Atlanta--the particulars. (search)
rly so when the firing ceased, and perhaps bilged, as her pumps were actively at work, and she appeared soon after the surrender to be careening. Another solution of the affair is that there was treachery among the crew of our vessel. A short time before she went out remarks were made by some of the sailor portion of the men that "if the ship went out it would be worse for her and her officers, as they would find out." Strange to say, the white flag was run up on the Atlanta, then lowered and the Confederate flag hoisted, and again lowered to give place to the United States flag, and is strong evidence that it was not a regular surrender, while it is very suggestive of conflict among her crew. The officers of the Atlanta were: Commander, Wm. A. Webb; 1st Lieut, J. W. Alexander; 2d Lieut., Alphonso Barbot; 3d Lieut.,--Ariedge; Master's Mate, T. L. Wragg; Assistant Surgeons W. J. Freeman and R. R. Gibbs; Lieutenant of Marines, Jas. Thurston; and Midshipmen Williamson and Peters.
