Yes, Yes! Yes, thanks to Lewis for his work. My family and I were able to use the information Lewis provided. We were amazed at the accuracy of the directions. We visited the Old Bethel Cemetery and found the graves of our gg grandpa, and my great grandparents. That would not have been possible if it had not been for Lewis. Jackie Marshall Marshall

Jen, You can access the Crawford County Courthouse from the side entrance. Actually, the door is on the front of the building under the steps that lead to the courtroom. Now the very best place to go is the Washington Memorial Library, and it is fixed with handicap doors, etc. and the people who work in the Genealogy Room will help with the books and the microfilm. That;s where I do most of my work.

Maggie cried, Varina cried, and the colored woman > cried. Mrs, Davis said the boy's mother had been dead a number of years, and > this woman had been as a mother to him.

At this, > Jeff and Maggie and Varina screamed almost as loud as he did. Mrs. Davis > also shed tears. Mrs. Clay threw Jimmy some money, but it had no effect. > Some one on deck of his boat picked it up and handed it to him, but he paid > no attention to it, and kept scuffling to get loose, and wailing as long as > he could be heard by us. > > After all, what is life but a succession of pains, sorrows, griefs and woes! > Poor Jimmy!

THE ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS PRISON DIARY. The CONFEDERATE VETERAN for May and June contained chapters from the prison diary of Alexander H. Stephens. The increase of subscriptions had been so great that the concluding chapter, in type for July, was withheld for a brief review of the two former. The diary may be regarded as a vivid record of how ignorant our people were of what to expect from the victors. Even this able lawyer, who was assured that the had faithful friends in high position on the Union side, had an acutely painful dread of the consequences. Buying the book for record at Fort Warren, near Boston, May 27, 1865, he wrote in the introduction: "It may be interesting to himself hereafter, sometimes, should he be permitted to live to refer to it." He was arrested May 11, at his home, Liberty Hall, Crawfordville. There was a regular guard of soldiers under Gen. Upton to take him in charge. Mr. Stephens seemed to feel greatly relieved when he saw, by the order for his arrest, that it included Robert Toombs, and when the officer went to Washington, Ga., and found that Toombs had "flanked" Upton, he was evidently much disappointed. He was kept in Atlanta on honor, the guards being removed, and friends offered him money (in gold). He was sent on a special train from Atlanta to his home at Crawfordville, that he might have two hours to get clothing and make arrangements for his indefinite stay in a Northern prison. At Augusta Jefferson Davis and family, and Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Clay, of Alabama, were sent upon the same boat. They had been sent from Atlanta just after Mr. .Stephens. Mr. Stephens was permitted to take one of his servants on the journey. Unhappily there was a break in our copy of the diary. This concluding chapter begins with his transfer to the Tuscorora, as published in the VETERAN, after leaving Mr. Davis and party on the Clyde. The tide was coming right ahead of us at about six miles an hour, and it was all that the stout seamen with their oars could do to make any head against it. For some time it seemed as if we were drifting further off. Captain Fraley called twice for the tug"send the tug" but he was not heard by the officer on the Tuscorora, and the tug did not come. After a long while we reached the ship, but not without some wetting from the splashing of the waves over the sides of the light boat. Right glad was I when we reached the steps on the ship's side. On deck we were introduced to several officers, Lieutenant Blue and others. The Captain took us to his cabin, showed us our quarters we were to be in the cabin with him. There was but one berth or stateroom in it. This the Captain said he would assign to me, while he and Reagan would sleep on the circular sofa that ran around the cabin. I declined depriving him of his room and bed. He said that it was no deprivation, that he generally slept on the sofa or in a chair, that he resigned it to me " in consideration of my age and past services to the country." These were his words. He was very polite and courteous. When he went on board the Clyde he took some strawberries to Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Clay and the children of Mrs. Davis. He said he had known Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Clay before. 1st October. Sunday. Another month is gone October is here, and I am here too, in Fort Warren. How time flies, and how we become adapted to its passages with its changes! If I had known in May last when I first reached these walls that I should be here by an October sun it would have about crushed me. But as it is, I am here, and I am more cheerful than I was then. We walked out three times this beautiful day. I went to see Reagan in the forenoon. Had a good long talk with him. He was transcribing his biography in a blank book. Seemed to be oppressed, but not uncheerful. My morning reading was in Psalms. The 119th came in my reading. Dr. called and delivered messages from Mrs. Maj. A. She sent two photographs of herself, out of which I was to select one for myself. One was a bust or head view, the other was a portrait of the whole person in full dress. I chose the latter. The boat whistles at Gallop Island. Oh ! if the boat should only bring good news for me from Washington, my heart would leap for joy and in gratitude, thanks and praise to God for his mercy, his kindness and his deliverence. Boat came, brought papers. No news, except that Hon. L. D. Walker has been pardoned. So it goes. I don't complain of that, but I do complain of being kept here to the hazard of my health and the ruin of my private affairs, while all the leading men who forced the South into secession against my efforts are not only permitted to go at large, but are pardoned. This is gall and wormwood to me. It almost crazes my brain. It tempts me to mistrust God. This is the most painful reflection of all. My agony of spirit today is almost more than I can bear. The course of the administration at Washington toward me is personal and vindictive. No other construction can be given to their acts. If they had avowed it openly to my friends and not have hypocritically pretended to be friendly disposed toward me, I should not have been so much effected. An open enemy I can meet face to face and defy, even if I fall under his blows, but a sneaking, hypocritical Jacob I have no tolerance toward. Judge Reagan came round this morning after the boat left and brought us the joyous news that he had had an indulgence extended to him to visit his friends generally, to mess with Linton and me [Linton Stephens was then on a visit. Ed.], and that he is to be transferred from his damp underground cell to a room on a level with the one now occupied by me. This was good news indeed, and I felt exceedingly glad to hear it. He, Linton and I immediately took a walk together on the rampart. The day was beautiful) but rather warm. On our return Reagan and I played . We all took dinner together. * * * I felt deeply mortified with myself for the irritation of spirit I permitted myself to indulge in today, simply mortified that I had suffered myself to give way for a moment to such sentiments or allow such feelings as I expressed on the foregoing pages. Human nature is frail and weak. I was smaating under a deep sense of wrong. The heart alone knows its own sorrows, but then it was wrong to grow impatient under suffering conscious wrong. I know it, I feel it. Oh, God forgive it, and above all, forgive my temptation temporarily to distrust thy divine justice and mercy. Teach me in meekness, resignation, patience and faith to bow to all thy dispensations, whatever they be. Thy will be done! Oh, forgive me this great trespass as I forgive all who trespass against or wrong me. May I with the same spirit as Christ upon the cross say, " Father forgive them, they know not what they do," even in this wrong and injustice to me. Judge Reagan, Linton and I supped together. I felt badly, thinking of my passion today. May the Lord forgive it. The patriotic effort to secure Liberty Hall for the public was about to fall through when I had a conference with the eminent preacher, Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, and he became much concerned about it. He offered, if by his action the money could be raised, to deliver four lectures in the largest cities of Georgia, the proceeds to be given for this cause. Dr. Talmage was an admirer and friend of Mr. Stephens, his uncle having been a minister at the South and a chaplain of much prominence.

ABOUT RECONSTRUCTION TIMES. HISTORY OF THE FIRST ACTION AGAINST CARPET BAG RULE IN GEORGIA. Col. C. B. Howard has written of the time, in June, 1867, when the State of Georgia was under military rule and the citizens were being annoyed with all sorts of indignities. Judge W. W. Clayton, a prominent citizen, had just been turned out of house and home because his daughters refused to pass under the United States flag, and hid their faces from yankee officers with their parasols. It was a few days before Alexander H. Stephens wrote a letter to Col. R. A. Alston, saying he considered the country in articula mortis, that if the South resisted reconstruction would be forced, and if they accepted it they were disgraced, and that it was a choice between martyrdom and suicide, and for himself he preferred martyrdom. The story of that meeting was told by Mr. S. A. Echols in a letter printed in the Sunny South during the summer of 1878, just after the controversy between Mr. Hill and Mr. Stephens over the question, " Who saved the State ? " In that article Mr. Echola gives a ong interview with Col. Alston, who told how he, Dr. J. P. Hambleton and Mr. Eli Hulsey, in discussing the deplorable situation, decided to call a Democratic meeting. They did so, and wrote a letter to Col. T. C. Howard, at Kirkwood, asking him to attend and preside. The papers refused to print the call and the city hall was secured only by consent of Gen. Pope. When the time came for the meeting the house was partly filled with Pope's officers and civil staff, and many of the Democrats present opposed any demonstration. Col. Howard walked into the room and looked around in astonishment. He had left the plow and walked into town. Charlie Herbst called on him soon afterward for a speech. Col. Alston said of it: " I never shall forget the scene and solemn dignity with which he rose. Never shall I forget how he was dressed an old coat with the lining torn out and hanging in strings, an unbleached homespun shirt, no cravat, a pair of brogan shoes, without socks. His handsome, intelligent face contrasted strongly with his apparel, and even a stranger would not have been surprised to hear something good, even from such a poorly dressed speaker. His first words were: ' My fellow countrymen, when I am called upon on an occasion like this, surrounded by circumstances like these (pointing to the eager Democrats), and these (pointing to the soldiers), and these (pointing to the scalawags), I feel that deep solemnity which the man of God feels, or at least ought to feel, when he rises in the pulpit to talk to dying sinners about the salvation of their souls.' He then went on to trace the history of this country from the settlement of New England and Virginia down to the breaking out of the Confederate war. He demonstrated that three generations had raised up in these different latitudes two entirely different races of people, that the bloody war which had resulted had been brought on by the love of constitutional freedom on the part of the South, and a love for religion and law battling a.gainst a total disregard of all compacts on the part of the North, and an utter disregard of public morality, constitutional law and Bible religion on the part of the North. That while slavery may have embittered the contest it was not the cause, but only one of the incidents of the struggle. That the constant and persevering invasions of our rights had proceeded from envy, hatred and malice. 'Yea,' said he, 'my countrymen, from the day that old John Adams left the white house,' pointing his finger at the portrait of Washington and saying, ' You and your people did this, there began a struggle which never ceased until it left this whole continent with crutches and crape in every household, which drew one broad line of charcoal from Dalton to Charlotte, N. C., and brought delicate women to cooking, scrubbing and scouring, where Sherman had left them any thing to cook, to scrub or to scour.' Here he paid a glowing and beautiful tribute to the women of the South, and passing on he said, 'But when I come to speak of the 150,000 dead heroes that lie slumbering in our soil, what shall I say?' Here he burst into tears. * * * Soon rousing himself, with bitter scorn he addressed Pope's people and said: 'And do you call upon me to disgrace the fortitude of women like these? Do you call upon me to desecrate the memory of heroes like these? Never! never! And what for, what to gain to save what little we have left? No, my friends, this would be to lose our all) to surrender the only jewel that even tyranny cannot wrest from us our honor. Even Wendell Phillips says, a few years longer and a change of a few thousand votes will cause the shackles to fall from our limbs. Yes, Wendell Phillips, the worst man who has cursed God's footstool for the last thousand years, always excepting that fiend and scourge of hell, .' When these words fell from his lips the consternation was painful. We all grasped arms and felt that the supreme moment had arrived. But Col. Howard thundered on and the crisis was passed. Turning to where we were standing he said: 'Go on, my little band of Democrats, bend your backs and take the blows, the anvil will yet wear out the hammer. Recollect that God has said in his word, "One man shall be equal to a thousand, and two shall put ten thousand to flight," armed with the power of truth, therefore stand firm, and oh, when your hearts grow weary, when you are ready to exclaim, " How long, O Lord, how long," faint not, but look back more than 1800 years and behold the most sublime spectacle that assembled creations were ever called upon to witness. See the Son of God condescending to become man to save a sinful world, remembering that when he walked throughout Gallilee, armed with the power and majesty of God, distributing his loaves and fishes, whole multitudes followed him. But alas! when the day of his tribulation came, when he had no more loaves to divide, no more fishes to distribute, when we see him swinging upon the cross, whom do we see there then? One poor, lone, weeping woman! Ah, if you yankees had been there then, if you scalawags had been there then, if you timid Democrats bad been there then (the scorn dripping from his fingers), you would have gone to her and said: "Get up from here, Mary, never an office will you get for remaining here. The majority is against us. Let us yield." And this day you would have been peeping into the quivering guts of birds and animals to learn the will of God, and sacrificing to Jupiter, and we would have lost the Christian religion.'"

Confederate Veteran June 1893. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS' PRISON LIFE. The thrilling events as narrated by Alexander H. Stephens in a diary of his capture and imprisonment was commenced in the issue of the CONFEDERATE VETERAN for May. These introductory notes are made for the benefit of those who have not seen that number. This report was furnished me by his nephew, Hon. Jno. A. Stephens, who is now dead. Mr. Stephens was arrested at his own Liberty Hall, Crawfordville, whither he had gone, and was quietly awaiting the action of the victors until his arrest. His imprisonment and subsequent street parole at Atlanta, then the removal to Augusta, where he, Mr. Davis, Greneral Wheeler and others became fellow passengers, are also given in that number. FROM HIS DIARY VERBATIM COPY. General Wheeler and four of his men were on the boat. They had been captured near Albany some days previous, and had been sent down to the boat some hours before our arrival. The whole party were Mr. Davis and those captured with him, Mr. and Mrs. Clay, myself, General Wheeler and his men, numbering over twenty. I don't know exactly how many were in Mr. Davis' party. I recognized General and Col. Wm. Preston Johnston, of his staff, Mr. Harrison, his private Secretary, and Postmaster Gen. J. H. Reagan. Mr. Davis had with him a man and woman, also colored servants and little boy. His children, Jeff, Maggie and Varina also Mrs. Davis, Miss Howell and her brother J. D. Howell. A young man, a grandson of Judge of Kentucky, was also with him. I did not see him after we got on the boat. Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Clay came on the deck where we were. Our meeting was the first Mrs. Davis and party knew of my arrest. General Wheeler had not heard of the arrest of any of us. Mr. Clay told me he had been on parole all the way, and that he did not come on in the procession with the rest of us that he had been permitted to drive his carriage out in the city (Augusta) and visit some lady acquaintances of his wife. He gave me all the particulars of his surrender. On taking leave of me General Upton turned me over to Colonel Pritchard, of the 4th Michigan Cavalry, who had captured Mr. Davis, and who then took charge of all of the prisoners. The General told Colonel Pritchard that I and Mr. Clay were on parole, and he allowed us the run of the boat. I asked him to grant me permission to write to my brother: and he said he supposed this permission would not be denied whenever I got to a place where I could write. On the cars from Barnet to Augusta I traveled with General Elzy (C. S. A.), who had been paroled. I requested him. to write to John A. Stephens at Crawfordville, and say to him I wished him to remain with his mother until he heard from me. I greatly and deeply regretted that I did not meet John at home today, as I passed there. My feelings this night on this boat pass all description. We were all crowded together in a small space on the boat's deck, covering over us, but both sides open. The night was cool and the air on the water damp, and I was suffering from a severe headache. No mention was made of supper, but I cared not for supper. I had taken breakfast at 12 and did not feel as if I should ever want to eat again. Clay and I united our cloaks, coats and shawls. General Wheeler sent us a blanket. Mrs. Davis sent us a mattress, and we made a joint bed in the open air on deck. I put the carpet bags under our heads, and strange to say, I slept sweetly and soundly and arose much refreshed the next morning. The boat raised steam and left the bluff not wharf about nine o'clock at night. Reagan, Wheeler and the rest, including the servants, stretched themselves about on the open space the best way they could. All had covering of some sort but one little boy. Just before I fell asleep I witnessed this scene: A little black boy about 14 years old, ragged and woe begone in appearance, was stretched on deck right in the passage way. Whose he was, or where he was going, I knew not. An officer came along, gave him a shove, and told him in harsh language to get away from there. The boy raised up, waked from his sleep, and replied in a plantation mood, "I have no lodging, sir." That scene and that reply were visibly on my mind when all my present cares were most opportunely and graciously, if not mercifully, drowned in slumber as I was being borne away from home, and all that was most dear to me, on the broad and smooth bosom of the Savannah. 15th May: Waked much refreshed, morning beautiful, got a rough soldier breakfast. Mr. Davis came out on our deck soon after I got up. It was our first meeting since we parted the night after my return from the Hampton Roads Conference to Richmond. Talked today a good deal with Clay, Reagan and Wheeler, but spent most of my time in silent, lonely meditation on the side of the boat, looking out upon willows on the margin of the sluggish, muddy, crooked stream. Most of my thoughts were filled with home scenes and their kindred associations. Colonel Pritchard introduced to me Captain Hudson, of his regiment, and a Mr. Stribling (?), who was a correspondent of the New York Herald. We talked a good deal on the state of the country, etc. The entire day was clear, mild and beautiful. 16th May: Went to sleep last night as the night before. I omitted to note yesterday that we got dinner and tea at the usual hours, potatoes (Irish) and beef stewed together for dinner, at tea a good cup of black tea that suited me well. There was hard tack on the table, some prefer that, but I chose the soft, or what is known as light bread or " bakers' " bread. The table was small , only four could be seated at once. It took some time for all to eat. We reached Savannah this morning at four o'clock, did not land, but were transferred from the tug to a coast steamer, bound to Hilton Head a much more commodious boat. On it we got a good breakfast beefsteak, hot rolls and coffee. On the passage to Hilton Head I took a berth and slept most of the way, reached Hilton Head about 11 o'clock A. M. The day was clear and rather warm, though not hot or sultry, anchored in the harbor and were transferred to another steamer bound for Fortress Monroe. This was the Clyde, a new boat, a propeller of about 500 tons, there were several good berths in the cabin below, and quite a number of state rooms on deck above. The ladies and most of the gentlemen selected state rooms. I preferred a berth below, and chose my place there, which I found on the voyage was a most excellent choice. After we were transferred to the Clyde, quite a number of officers and other persons came aboard. They brought New York papers, Harper's Weekly, Frank Leslie's Illustrated News. It had been a long time since I had seen these prints. Here for the first time I heard of the military commission trying the assassins of Mr. Lincoln. The officers came down into the cabin where I was, and talked some time of the state of the country. They were all courteous and agreeable. Captain Kelly, formerly of Washington City, who knew me there, told me he was now in the Quartermaster Department at Hilton Head. He was pleased to speak kindly of his former recollections of me, 'alluded to my Milledgeville speech in November, 1860, spoke highly of it and expressed regret that I had not adhered to it. I told him I had. In that speech I had with all my ability urged our people not to secede. The present consequences I then seriously apprehended, but in the same speech. I told them that if in solemn convention the people of the State should determine to resume their delegated powers and assert her sovereign and independent rights, that I should be bound to go with the State. To her I owed ultimate allegiance. In that event her cause would be my cause, and her destiny my destiny. I thought this step a wrong one, perhaps fatal, and exerted my utmost power to prevent it, but when it had been taken, even though against my judgment, I, as a good citizen, could but share the common fate, whatever it might be. I did as a patriot what I thought best before secession. I did the same after. He did not seem to have recollected that part of the speech, which acknowledged my ultimate allegiance to be due to the State of Georgia. The whole conversation was quite friendly. He manifested a good deal of personal regard toward me. At about three or four o'clock the Clyde put out to sea. Before leaving, Mrs. Davis addressed a note to General Saxon (?), who had charge of colonization, in confiding to him the little orphan mulatto boy she had with her. The parting of the boy with the family was quite a scene. He was about seven or eight years old, I should think. He was little Jeff's playfellow, they were very intimate and nearly always together, it was Jeff and Jimmy between them. When Jeff' knew that Jimmy was to be left, he wailed, and so did Jimmy. Maggie cried, Varina cried, and the colored woman cried. Mrs, Davis said the boy's mother had been dead a number of years, and this woman had been as a mother to him. As the boat left our side, that was to take Jimmy away, he screamed and had to be held to be kept from jumping overboard. He tried his best to get away from those who held him. At this, Jeff and Maggie and Varina screamed almost as loud as he did. Mrs. Davis also shed tears. Mrs. Clay threw Jimmy some money, but it had no effect. Some one on deck of his boat picked it up and handed it to him, but he paid no attention to it, and kept scuffling to get loose, and wailing as long as he could be heard by us. After all, what is life but a succession of pains, sorrows, griefs and woes! Poor Jimmy! He has just entered upon its threshold. This will hardly be his worst or heaviest affliction, if his days be many upon this earth. The Clyde is long and narrow, and rolls very much at sea. The Purser on the Clyde is named Moore, a son of the Captain of the boat. He expressed some kind personal regard for me this evening, said he was from Philadelphia, gave me a copy of Harper's Weekly, and requested anything I could spare as a little memento. I chanced to have in my pocket a chess piece of a set that was very prettily made it was a Bishop. I took it out and asked him how that would do, he seemed highly pleased with it. May 19: We enter Hampton Roads this morning, a pilot boat meets us, we are asked where we wish to be piloted to. To Washington was the reply. The Tuscarora leads the way, and we arrive at Hampton Roads. Colonel Pritchard goes to Fortress Monroe, returns and says we must await orders from Washington. Before going ashore I asked him to inquire if I would be permitted to telegraph or write home. He could, on returning, give no information on that point. We anchor in the harbor, and the Tuscarora anchors close by. We see near us the iron steamer Atlanta, captured at Savannah. Dinner at usual hour, and all hands at table except Miss Howell, all with good appetite except myself. My throat is still sore from continued hoarseness, but much better than it was when I left Hilton Head. I have, however, no relish for food. 20th May: Still at anchor in the Roads. Colonel Pritchard informs us he got a telegram last night informing him that General Halleck would be at the Fort at noon to day and give him further orders. The day is dull, nothing to enliven it but the passing of steamboats and small sails in the harbor. A Brittish man of war and a French lie near us. Called Henry in the cabin, told him he would go from there to Richmond, gave him $10, and told him to be a good, industrious, upright boy, and never to gamble. Colonel Pritchard came to the cabin at 8 o'clock at night and told Judge Reagan and myself that some officers in the Captain's room wished to see us there. We went immediately and found Captain Fraley, of the Tuscarora, and Captain Parker, of the war steamer, in the cabin. Captain Fraley received us courteously, and told us that he had orders to take Reagan and myself aboard the Tuscarora next day at 10 o'clock. He had come over that night to give us notice that we might be ready. In reply to the question of our destination, he told us Boston. I knew then that Fort Warren was my place of confinement and imprisonment. I told him I feared the climate would be too cool and damp for me, I should have greatly preferred to go to Washington, if the authorities had so decided. Before we left the Captain's office, General Wheeler and party came in. His conference was with Captain Parker: we learned from what passed that Captain Parker was to take them in his steamer in the morning to Fort Donaldson. Reagan and I left General Wheeler in the office. I sent for Captain Moody, who was a fellow prisoner with us, taken with Mr. Davis, and who had been a prisoner of war at Fort Warren, to learn from him sonic of the prison regulations there. He spoke in very favorable terms of them, said he had been in several prisons, and he had been better treated at Fort Warren than anywhere else. Being relieved of the suspense we had been in for several days, Reagan and I went to our berths at an early hour. I slept but little, thought of home, sweet home, saw plainly that I was not to be permitted to see anyone there. This was the most crushing thought that filled my mind. Death I felt I could meet with resignation, if such should be my fate, if I could be permitted to communicate with Linton and other dear ones while life should last. May 21st: Anthony was not permitted to go with me, gave him $5 and same advice I gave Henry, I gave him my leather trunk he had brought his clothes in. Saw Mrs. Clay and requested her to write to Linton and Mrs. D. M. DuBose the same thing my destination and present condition. We do not know what is to be done with Mr. Clay, or where he is to be sent. After that shall be made known it is Mrs. Clay's intention to go North, if allowed, that is, if her husband shall be confined. Yesterday evening we got New York papers, saw the progress of the trial of the assassins. Mr. Clay expressed to me the fullest confidence that nothing could be brought against him in such a crime. He spoke in the strongest terms of deepest regret at it, said how deeply he deplored it, and his explanation to that effect, when he first heard of President Lincoln's assassination. We had a long talk this morning. General Wheeler and those who went with him left at 6 A. M. I was up and took my leave of them, the parting all around was sad. At 10 o'clock Captain Fraley came up in a tug, came aboard the Clyde. Reagan and I were ready, we took leave of all. Anthony and Henry looked very sad, Anthony stood by me to the last. Mrs. Davis asked Captain Fraley if he could not go, he said that he had inquired of the officer commanding the fleet, and he had informed him that his orders related to only two persons. This closed the matter just as I had looked for. I bade Anthony good bye, the last one. I had before taken leave of Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Clay, and Colonel Harrison. Upon taking leave of Mr. Davis he seemed to be more affected than I had ever seen him. He said nothing but good bye, and gave my hand a cordial squeeze. The tone of the voice in uttering good bye evinced deep feeling and emotion. With assistance I descended the rope ladder to the deck of the tug. All the baggage being aboard, off we steamed to the Tuscarora.
