An Eye-witn%.. and Part Ins,ien,or.

Editor National Tribune: Looking
over the Picket Shots Along the Line
in The National Tribune recalls a cir
cumstance to which l was an eye-wit-
ness and part instigator-that is, one
mans desertion from the rebel army
Our corps, the Sixth, was camped at
Falmouth, Va, and our picket posts
were along the Rappahanflock River
This stream of water between the two
armies being very narrow, the murder
Gus practice of shooting at one another
whenever head was in sight was abol-
ished. We enjoyed the pleasure of
catching rabbits and talking to one an
other across the stream. We had also a
little boat, which was an unlicensed
trader between Johnny reb and Yank.
At that point right below Fredericks-
burg we would freight it with sugar and
coffee, and put the daily newspaper in
the mast. Then the little ship was car
ried up the stream by few comrades
who were off duty and christened the
Monitor" and when the sail was ar
ranged 1t started on its trip to the
southern shore. We knew when the
Johnnies received the cargo by the rebel
yell of thanks that echoed back to us.

Stories Eminenty Worth Telling Of Experiences and Adventures
in the Great National Struggle

like to read of the struggles of the war
of g: and more than that think The
National Tribune is doing its duty to
help benefit the old soldiers, as there
nave been great many old soldiers
died in needy circumstances for the rea-
son that their claims We're rejected un-
til too late. But the age order is bene-
fitting a great many who would never
have made application for pension.
There Is one more new pension law
that we can see in the future that
would benefit our widows, and that is
to allow our widows the same that we
are drawing at the time of our death.
AS the wives of the soldiers have faced
the struggles and cared for the sick and
wounded soldiers until death, it is no
more than right that the widow should
have his pension. l made application
for pension Jan. 16, 1908. on rupture

time Nov. 5. 1904. Since that time 1

great Nation will have need for many
soldiers TO protect her property in the
near future, and that everything that

The rebels would retura 1t the same day
or perhaps the next day laden with to-
bacco and one of their newspapers, with
its name changed to1the "Merrimack,"
Our squad was on picket there for
week or more and one day the Louis
lana Tigers being on duty opposite our
pests. a member of the Tigers named
Lynch. powerful. big Irishman, over
six feet in hight, and got into con-
verSation about what would be done
with him if he deserted and swan over
to our side. He had implicit faith in
''The Boston Pilot so l got a copy of
that paper and sent it over to him. and
after he had read 1t he called over to
me and said that when he came to his
post the next morning at 2 o'clock he
would swim over. He stated that his
gun would be thrown into the river
first, then his cartridge box, then me
self, and look out for me when you
hear these signals" 1 was lying on the
pebbled shore. wide awake, and heard
the signals distinctly. Comrade Henry
Lane was walking his beat. 1 asked
him if he heard anything fall in the
water on the other side. He said he
did not. Well said 1. Lane. Lynch
is on his way over. Let us walk down
a piece and watch for him. We had
gone but a short distance when we
discovered Lynch putting like a por-
poise. Lane was six-footer and he
waded in the water when Lynch was
about to sink, got a grip on his hair,
and helped him to dry land and free
dom. We had his uniform taken off,
built a rousing fire, made him a big
tin of hot coffee. gave him our blan-
kets to cover him while we dried his
clothing and shortly after daylight
sent a guard with him to Gen. Nelson's
quarters In his conversation with me
Lynch remarked that had he had some
kind of a boat he could have gotten all
the Tigers over that morning. If Mr..
Lynch is living and reads this l would
be pleased to hear from him.-Thos. j.

Sailors Creek.

Editor National Tribune: The refer
ence Of Adam HOrine, of the 110th Ohio,
to the battle of Sailors Creek, recalls
wildly to mind my recOllections, as a
member Of Co. Is, SD Pa, of that des-
perate encounter. According to "Bates's
Pennsylvania Volunteers" Co. Z of the
SD Pa in that battle suffered a loss of
i've killed and two mcrtaliy wounded.
According to the same authority this
company lost II men killed and NOR
tally wounded during the war. Thus il
will be seen that this company lost more
men at Sailors Creek, its last battle,
than it did in AL the other battles in
which the regiment participated during
the war. At Sailors Creek the company
was u mere remnant, not having more
than 40 men in the ranks. It's loss in
killed and mortally wounded was at
least 16 per cent OF the number present
at that time, a percentage Of loss three
times that of the average company dur
ing the war. This Is no guesswork; !;
statistics prove the same to be a fact.
Capt. VIM. Knight told me since the
close of the war that his company lost
25 men in killed and wounded at Sailor s
Creek. l think the greatest portion OF
this loss was caused by the first volley
delivered at close range by the enemy
concealed as ne was by a dense forest
that bordereG the creek, which at this
point was swamp or jungle. The
above will give you something of an ide"
of the desperate nature of that engage
mcnt, especially in regard to that por-
ton of the line occupied by the SD Pa.
AS the writer referred to above has said,
the battle of Sailors Creek was very
mportant in its results. 1t practically
ended the career'o Lees army. 1t was
the last determined opposition offered
by any great portion of that grand army
whose banners haas waved in triumph
over many a hard-fought field. l would
be pleased to hear from members of my
regiment who were present at Sailors
Creek This desire ito hear from those
with whom we were; associated in those
eventful days increases the nearer We
approach the great beyond. 1t is a sad
reflection that only for few more fleet
ing years will the youth and middle
aged have the privilege of meeting any
of the survivors of the most critical
period in our Nations history, the heroic
age of the Republic, and of speaking
with men who have participated in some
of the most renowned battles of modern
times. men who took part. tho humble,
in making the history and shaping the
destiny of this great Nation.-L. Whit
ney, Co. B, S2d Pa, Plymouth, Pa.

LOSS by Fever of Nnr-asan.ctt.s Crew

Editor National Tribune: Your rec
itations of heroic deeds by individuals
and organizations, and of losses sus-
tained in battle and otherwise by organ
iZatioHs in the service of the Army or
Navy during the civil war, recalls to
my mind the crew of the u. S. sloop of
war Narragansett, numbering in the
start about 130 men, which during her
commission from 1863 to 1864 suffered
a nearly unparalleled loss in percentage
to that number by fever. / have never
heard of anything similar except, per-
haps BY the sinking OF a vessel where
the entire crew was lost. But from the
records of the Army and Navy during
the civil war | have not heard of any
thing so great in proportion. i am
quoting from memory when / claim
that after the Narragansett had been
ordered out OF commission eight men
were transferred TO the flagship Ian
caster, and AZ to the hospitals; all the
others OF the original 123 had either

Gen. Geary at wauhatchie.

Editor National Tribune: l have read
in your valuable paper an account of
"Geary at Wauhatchie." by Comrade NJ
l.. Olmstead. There are q great many
inaccuracies in his statement. He says
that Gen. John w. Geary was not in
that battle. Gen. Geary was there from
start to finish. Our division, the Sec
ond, Twentieth Corps. were conveying
at the train Of supplies to the troops at
Chattanooga. Il was called Opening
Up Of the Cracker Line" Col. Gary, of
the Confederates, came down the noun
tain side to make an attempt to capture
it. 1T was rich spoil. Comrade DIM
stead says that Gen. Greene had COM
mand Of the troops on that field. Gen
Greene commanded the Third Brigade,
Second Division, Twentieth Corps, on
that day. The General was wounded in
the neck, the bullet barely missing the
jugular vein. COmrade Olmstead says
his name was Joel A. Green. The Gen.
erals name is George S. Greene. 1 was
detailed number of times for writing
in his Advertisements Office. Cen
Greene was Colonel of our regiment for
few months, and was promoted to
Brigadier-General commanding our bri-
gade. Gen. Geary was in command on
the field at Wauhatchie. His son Ed
ward, First Lieutenant of knap's fa-
nous battery, Was killed on that field

grass that beautiful afternoon. mounted

Gen. Greene comes from old fighting
stock. You have heard of the Greenes
of Revolutionary. times. One of Ger.
Greene's sons was a. Lieutenant on the
Monitor that fought ;the Merrimac. At
ter Capt. Wordeff was disabled the Lieu
tenant took command, and you know
the joyous resulf. and the news that
went up to the North that the dreaded

gold, Ga, solid shot struck him and
shattered n leg. Two boys of cur regi-
ment hastene1 to his relief, tied his leg
up with gunstraps and handkerchiefs
and he was borne from the field. OF
course, we never expected to see Charlie
Greene again alive, but after our march

Richmond and On to Washington. as we
were crossing the Long Bridge, who

A Distinction should BE Made.

]. ]. Day. San Antonio, Tex, thinks
there should be difference made in
giving pensions between the men who
left their homes and schools in the early
part Of 1861, remaining with their COM
panies until the war was entirely over.
Such men should not, he thinks, be
classed with the 90-days men or bounty
jumpers. He was 4 nine-months man
himself. and noticed the greatest diff
ference between these old stand-bys and
the nine-mOnths men when in battle.
