The Daily Dispatch: June 6, 1863., [Electronic resource], Major Reid Saunders's capture. (search)
atches were in the bag thus sunk; but, to our amazement, we afterwards found out that Captain Harris had abstracted from the bag a tin case containing some dispatches, which he delivered to the Captain of the Quaker City. Captain Harris manœnvered the yacht from the beginning in such a manner as to insure her capture. After the capture Captain Harris was separated from us and was sent North, as we supposed, with his reward Captain Harris had not the power to take the entire bag, or no-doubt he would have done so. Major Saunders had not the slightest suspicion of his fidelity; hence his ability to abstract a part of the dispatches, which, besides, he must have done while we were all asleep, on the night of the 3d of January. Except for the foul play of Captain Harris in the manœuvering of the yacht, there is scarcely a doubt but that we would have successfully run the blockade. William Renshaw, Mate of the Mercury. Witness to signature of Mr. Renshaw J. Pharo, J. P. Sohier.
