Hampton Roads (Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 1.1
, in order that a record might be preserved, directed us to make a written report in accordance with the results of the discussion. As the plan proposed by me had been adopted, I thought it but proper that I should leave the wording of the report to Messrs. Williamson and Porter. I noticed that in designating the plan to be adopted the expression used was the plan submitted for the approval of the Department. Which plan was not stated. I now pass to a later period.

Buchanan not getting Parker's report, and the frigate not being burnt, he accepted my volunteered services to burn her; and, taking eight men and our only remaining boat, I pulled for her, with Webb in the gallant little Teazer steaming up soon afterwards to cover me. In the meantime the Patrick Henry, Jamestown, and Teazer had come splendidly into action just about the time or a little before the Congress struck, and when I left the old beauty they were doing grand work with their guns on the Minnesota and shore batteries. I did not think the Yankees on shore would fire at me on my errand to the Congress, but when in about two hundred and fifty yards of her they opened on me from the shore with muskets and artillery; and the way the balls danced around my little boat and crew was lively beyon

talion; secretary, T. L. Pritchett, Captain Sixty-fourth Georgia. The allusion in the columns of the Times to the Grapevine and Fresh Fish will be recognized by old soldiers, the former being applied to the rumors of events occurring outside the prison that were supposed to be communicated through the grapevine, or underground telegraph line. Fresh Fish was the term applied to new arrivals, captured on recent battle-fields. Upon their entrance to the fort they were greeted with the cry of Fresh Fish by all the old residents, and immediately interviewed to learn the latest from the outside world, and if Lee had whipped 'em again. The Times is dated April 8th--the day before Lee surrendered the remnants of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox—and it is presumed that no later number of the Times was issued, but that the occupants of the different divisions were soon released and wended their way to their homes in Dixie land.
