has been printed. Of Lieut.. Colwen, who
was with Darlington, and had been designat-

tunate for the expeditionary force that the
one officer sent with it, and who commanded
was so ably aided and supported by the ser
vices of Lieut.. j. G. Colwell, of the United
States navy, who volunteered for duty so
much more severe and perilous than that to
which he had regularly assigned ON board a
naval vessal, and who brought to the duty he
assumed so much capacity, courage and
special knowledge.
