ON BOARD THE NANTUCKET
Our Correspondent Tells Of Dofngs
Aboard ship.
Port Royal, s. c, May I3.

Port Royal, S. c., May 10.
Messenger, Wilmington, n. c.:
We arrived this morning at $50 O'Clock.
Had pheasant weather throughout with
the exception of rain on Wednesday
might. Although nearly all of the crew
were seasick, they worked like tro1ans
from start to finish and night and day
the boys stuck TO their posts, some times
vomiting while on duty. The boys are
fed fairly well and seem to enjoy every
detail of their work.
When the Nantucket arrived at South
mort Wednesday the Jugs, launches, row
boats and every craft available were in
and men cheering. The boys under
Q-uartermaster Greenabaum, at the signal
station, gave the Nantucket a volley,
which was answered. The soldiers at
the fort S1so cheered heartily. Yesterday
morning we sighted the revenue cutter
Colfax, which followed us until she as
certained who We were and then turned
her course. The boys have taken In all
the sights. We passed several ships and
steamboats,, but none close enough 10
speak to.
Today we are anchored within a stones
throw of the dry dock, which now mas
the monitor Passaic on for repairs. she, ~
is thought. will leave tomorrow with le
reserves who are here from Louisiana.
1t really looks like war here and our
boys are becoming hardened rapidly and
will soon be able to cope with the best
seamen If they continue to improve Us
The Sims crew are all high in their
praise OF Tom Trent, formerly of Will
mington's fire department, but now our
"chef." He serves the boys promptly;
Captain Moore Is very much liked by
the reserves, although he Is strictly
business. He says the North Carolina re-
serves are a Jolly" crowd.
People in Wilmington will be surprised
to hear that your correspondent and
about ten other reserves took a bath
yesterday on the deck of the Nantucket
by the heavy sea rolling over her. We
have, all hands, slept on the upper deck
for the past two nights without shelter.
The trip and weather have been delight
full.
master Williams have been worked very
hard. either one or the other being at the
Nantucket's wheel constantly.
Iieutenants McIlhenny, Miller, Mckoy,
Coleman and Paymaster Jones are doing
everything for the boys comfort and in
struction.
DR.. J.. NJ. Ward, our surgeon, has not
been called on so far, although he is
ready.
The entire ships officers and crew ex-
tend thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. James
Sprunt for two boxes Of lemons, which
came in very handy in the cases of sea-
sickness.
Chief Boatswain Gotten and Chief of
Mess Room Marshall received a beauti-
full bouquet from the ladies OF Southport,
which they divided among the crew, but
one hour afterwards the crew did not
care for flowers, good eating, or any
thing else, although the recipients have
never succumbed to sea sickness.
Today We are arranging tackles, ropes
and ships paraphrenalia preparatory to
begin work ~scrubbing decks tomorrow.
