Coniederates for the insufficient accom-
modations they afforded the federal
prisoners at Andersonyille, though the
Confederates had no better accommo-
dations for themselves. But the resi-
dents of Fire Island, with ample accom-
modations, assembled on the shore and
drove back the half furnished women
and children who, flying from Eleventh

nure air and water, and good food
and shelter in the empty summer hotels
there, and that too. though there has
never been case ofreal cholera aboard
those ships.
