[493] think the troops who saw it will agree to the cool courage and daring of Lieutenant Sidney B. DeKay, aid-de-camp, in landing on the night of the twenty-fifth, and remaining aiding in reembarkation on the twenty-seventh.

For the details of the landing and the operations, I beg leave to refer you to the reports of Major-General Weitzel, commanding the division landed.

Trusting my action will meet with the approval of the Lieutenant-General, the report is respectfully submitted.

Benjamin F. Butler, Major-General. Lieutenant-General U. S. Grant, Commanding Armies of the United States.
