to stand for a historical portrait in the position in which he was first lashed. New York, September 6th, 1880. Ii. By Joseph Marthon, Lieutenant-commander, U. S. N. a revision and extension of a letter of December 5th, 1877, to Mr. Loyall Farragut. in regard to the truth of the statements made by various people at different times, whether Admiral Farragut was, or was not, lashed to the rigging of the United States flag-ship Hartford during the battle of the 5th of August, 1864, pAdmiral Farragut was, or was not, lashed to the rigging of the United States flag-ship Hartford during the battle of the 5th of August, 1864, passing the forts at the entrance of Mobile Bay, my position placed me in a situation to be able to see and know as much in that respect as any one at that tim.e.
