A BOYS BRAVERY.
Another Account of the Grounding of the LehIgh


Referring to communication in your issue
of Aug. 8, headed "a Boys Bravery" and pur-
porting TO relate how the U. S. S. Lehigh was
rescued from a perilous position on Nov. 16,
1863, when she grounded at tho mouth OF
Charleston Harbor, l beg leave to state that L
was an eyewitness of the thrilling incident,
being at the time attached TO the u S. S. Ma
liant as Coast Pilot, and that your correspond
ent does not give the facts as they occurred.
On the night previous the Lehigh and Ma
liant were on picket duty, our station being in
the channel between Fort Sumter and Sulli-
vans Island, and when the Lehigh was return
ing to her anchorage at o'clock o. m. she
grounded about 1000 yards below Fort Sum-
ter, and within easy range of the rebel batter
les on Sullivan'j Island. The tide was on the
first of the ebb, and of course the vessel could
not be moved until the next high water; but
why the rebels did not in tho meantime take
advantage of her exposed and helpless condi-
ton and completely disable her--which they
could easily have done, as the tide Tell below
her armor, and there was nothing to resist their
shot but the single plates of her hull-has al
ways been mystery to mo.
Fortunately for the Lehigh they did not
grasp the situation, and when ut the next high
water the Nahant-which vessel at the time
was in charge of Lieutenant Commander John
Cornwall, and not Admiral Dahlgren, as stated
by your rrespondent-receved from the flag
ship signal to proceed up and assist the Le-
high in getting off, we steamed within 300
yards of her and anchored. Capt. Cornwall
then called for volunteers to man the dingy
aud run a small line to the Lehigh in order to
haul across the heavy hawser, whereupon
young Giles and another boy, whose name
have forgotten, jumped into the boat and
showed oil, one with the line in hand, the other
at the oars Immediately the rebel batteries
opened brisk fire. shot and shell falling so
thick and fast that Mt times the little boat or
its crew could not be seen through the heavy
spray. Uudismaycd, however the brave boys
kept on and safely reached the vessel. and then
returned to their own vessel under similar fire.
The men on the Lehigh hauled in the small
line until they got the hawser in hand, when
it was cut away by shot close to their hands.
After we hauled the hawser on board for sec
ond attempt these same boys again volunteered
TO run the small line, which they safely accom-
plished, and as the hawser was about to be
made fast on tho Lehigh il was cut away tho
second time by n shot from the rebels. The
third time the small line was run by DIR. Lang
shaw, of the Lehigh, and the hawscr was
finally made fast. Meanwhile the tide had
risen sufficiently TO enable us by hard pulling
TO float the vessel off; and when everything
was cleared away both vessels turned about in
close range of the rebel batteries and gave them
a round of ii and 15.nch she'll by way of COM
pliment-IsAAC SoFIELD, Acting Master and
Pilot IT, s. NJ Perth AmbOy, N. j.

ing his intention by sharp skirmishing, and
also commenced laying pontoons to deceive us,
conveying the idea that he intended to cross
the river and move upon Knoxville.
Then commenced one of the most disgraceful
retreats known i'm the history of the rebellion,
ordered by a brain stepped in whisky-a re-
treat totally uncaled for being made upon
mere rumor, without any investigation. An
advance movement Of the Union army would
have secured an easy victory. Instead of this,
q retreat began which was much like the Bun
Run panic-cavnlry, artillery and infantry
were mixed in one conglomerate mass, under
the direction of a whisky -befuddlcd General,
who would not allow the men TO stop to cook
their rations. During the night they managed
to keep together. hut whenthe morning dawned
they began 20 fall out to cook their breakfast;
after which some lay down TO sleep, and were
captured by the enemy's cavalry, which was
harassing the retreat among whom were SIX
members of Co. III, l03d Ohio. All day this
harassing march continued, without giving
the troops any chance even to cook their din
ner, and much of the time il rained heavily,
making the roads like a mortar-bed Those
who went into camp that night with their com.
mands had been on the march for nearly "a
hours stopping neither for rest nor food.
The next day the force arrived at Strawberry
Plains in the same terribly demoralized condi-
ton, and crossing the river moved two miles
TOWARD hnOANlile. ne next uty tue Iodho
were in such fearful condition that we made
but three miles. But finally, on the 22d, we
reached the city, wornout ragged, dirty and
disguised.
The boys captured belonging to Co. II, 103d
Ohio, were William Knowles and Ropha Raw
son, Of Grafton, Lorain County, o.; Hiram Van
Glider. of Eaton; George J.. Hurd, Of Carlisle,
and John Connolly, Of Black River, in the same
County, and John Jarrett, of Niles, Trumbull
County. None of these ever again saw the
Northland. Knowles died in prison ut Flor
ence. s. C., Oct. 10, 1864 Van Glider, Hurd
and Connolly died at Andersonvile, Ga; Raw
son died at Wilmington, n. C., from the effects
of his imprisonment, and Jarrett was blown
up with the steamer Sultana on the Mississippi
River, April %, 1865.
