stated The fact that 81 was surrendered
with tho company shows that it should
have been turned over 20 General Ma
grnder but everything there was in an un-
settled condition and Identification thirty
eight years arterward is impossible
The battle Of Galveston was won by the
Confederate naval forces after the land
forces had been defeated. (See General Ma
gTuder's official report) General Magruder
had ordered The batteries stationed along
the Strand and at other points TO retreat
and the troops were Obeying orders when
the Bayon City aud Neptune appeared, the
former striking the Harriet Lane IN one
Of her wheels. locking both ships and en-
ahlng the troops on the Bayou City to
board her thus transforming a bitter de-
feat into a great victory.
As a matter of history the writer Will
state that the gunboats Clifton and
escaped from the harhor of Galveston were
afterward captured at Sabine Pass, Sep
telnber 8, just eight months and eight days
afterwarf, by the gallant Dick Downing
and his men.
