Doc. 68.-capture of the Redgauntlet. Captain Lucas's letter. June 20, 1863. dear sir: I regret to write to you that the Redgauntlet was captured by the confederate steamer Florida (otherwise the British steamer Oreto) on the fourteenth of June, when twenty-three days out, in latitude eight degrees thirty minutes north, longitude thirty-four degrees fifty minutes west. We first discovered her at half-past 5 in the morning, about seven miles off, two points on the lee bow, and standing toward us; escape was impossible on account of the scant wind and our position ; they had the British flag set, came up with us under canvas and steam, passed us, then tacked ship, furled sails, fired a shot across our bow, spoke us, and sent a boat on board.

The negroes, the most of whom where employed during the battle in rolling cotton-bales and carrying water, though exposed most of the time to a heavy fire, did most admirable service, and behaved with a gallantry that will ever entitle them to be classed among the brave. The enemy is in full retreat, and every thing is quiet again. Ralph Kaw. List of casualties. Killed — Abraham Campbell, company B, Fifth Kansas cavalry; George W.
