The Daily Dispatch: October 23, 1863., [Electronic resource], In close Quarters. (search)
In close Quarters. --During Tuesday forenoon, while some freight, which arrived by the Southern train at Wilmington, N. C., was being taken into the Express office, attention was attracted to one of the boxes by seeing some hair protruding from a crack in the box, when it was examined and found to contain some one. The box was opened, and a man calling himself Wm. White was taken out. The account he gives of himself is that he is a native of Barbadoes, that he came to Selma, Ala., in the steamship Neptune, and from thence to Savannah. Wishing to leave Savannah, and being unable to procure a passport to get out, a friend of his nailed him up in the box and shipped him for Charleston, and thence to Wilmington.
