officers denied that they had any intention of endangering the Union vessels, or that they were guilty of any sharp practice in destroying the Louisiana. They were put in close confinement at Fort Warren, Boston harbor; but on making the above representations to the Secretary of the Navy they were treated as ordinary prisoners of war. A Confederate naval court of inquiry afterward investigated and approved the conduct of Commander Mitchell. The following extract from the letter from Lieutenant Whittle, quoted on page 48, bears on the point in question: On the morning of the 24th, when Farragut's fleet passed, the work on the propellers was still incomplete, and so our vessel was only an immovable floating battery. When, on the morning of April 28th, the work was finished, and we were about to test the efficiency of the motive power, we were notified by General Duncan, commanding Forts Jackson and St. Philip, that he had accepted the terms of capitulation offered by Commander Porter

Half a mile or more down the Yorktown road we hurry, and filing by the left flank through a wide, newly-ploughed field near a wood, which screens from our right all beyond, and breathless, hot and heavy of foot from such a long and rapid run—halt! come into line, and prepare to load. Thus formed, the line from left to right is: The Twenty-fourth Virginia, Colonel Terry commanding, the writer the major; the Thirty-eighth Virginia, Lieutenant-Colonel Whittle; the Twenty-third North Carolina, Colonel Hoke, and the Fifth North Carolina, Colonel McRae. The rest of the division, with the Second Richmond Howitzers, were also there to support and assist. Hill will lead the two North Carolina Regiments on the right and Early the two Virginians on the left. So he, with his staff, takes position in front of his own old regiment, the Twenty-fourth, and its field officers, all mounted, do likewise. The orders are given to load and the gun

erved the details in an admiral address delivered before the R. E. Lee Camp of Virginia. Captain Whittle says: Captain Waddell, though brave and courageous, was naturally discomforted and appalled, after many adventures, and capturing many prizes, they reached the shores of Kamskata. Captain Whittle says: We were in the arctic and contiguous regions during the summer. It was most interestring Confederates, then amid the floes of ice in the Polar ocean! But they were men of nerve. Whittle says: We felt that the South had sustained great reverses; but at no time did we feel a mt Davis, and the entire collapse of the Confederate cause; and the additional information, says Whittle, that Federal cruisers were searching for us everywhere, and would deal summarily with us, if cdoah turned Cape Horn, and took her course northward for Liverpool. We passed many sails, says Whittle, but exchanged no signals. We were making no new acquaintances. They crossed the equator for

ip received a large number of grape and canister which did not pass through. The enemy's firing, upon the whole, was very bad. I enclose the Surgeon's report, showing the number of killed and wounded. I cannot speak too highly of the gallant bearing of all on board — and where all performed their duty so well, it is almost impossible to particularize; but I cannot refrain from mentioning the conduct of Acting Midships and P. State, in charge of the Powder Division — by Whose coolness and promptness the ship was saved from being burnt; also, Lieut T. D. Fleter, of the revenue service, who was a volunteer on board and behaved with much bravery. Lieut. Thomas Arnold, though wounded and bleeding freely remained at his quarters, encouraging his diesis on to fight courageously. Much credit is due to Passed Asst. Surgeon Christian, for his promptness in attending to the wounded. Very respectfully your ob't serv't, Chas W. Read, Lieut. To Capt. W. C. Whittle Naval Station
