John Beatty, The Citizen-Soldier; or, Memoirs of a Volunteer, February, 1862. (search)
is inexhaustible; he can blow five miles at a stretch. The members of the band are in good pluck, and when not playing, either sing, tell stories, or indulge in reminiscences of a personal character. Russia has been badgering William Heney, a drummer. He says that while at Elkwater Heney sparked one of Esquire Stalnaker's daughters, and that the lady's little sister going into the room quite suddenly one evening called back to the father, Dad, dad, William Heney has got his arm around Susan Jane! Heney affirms that the story is untrue. Lochey favors us with a song, which is known as the warble.

Crosby on board of the prize because he is the important witness of what occurred after we boarded the schooner. This vessel, like the three already captured, stood in under the belief that the forts were still in the hands of the enemy, (the Pawnee, showing no colors, was taken for an English cruiser,) and were not boarded until they were inside the bar. We are beginning to see signs of the enemy on the southwestern side of the entrance, where it is believed a picket guard frequents to watch our movements.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. C. Rowan, Commander U. S. Navy. Gideon Welles, Sec. Navy, Washington.
