woman. became the bride of Edward
L. Darling, Southron from Louisiana,
who afterward became brigadicr-
general in the Confederate service.
She was In the North during the early
hostllities, and returned to the South
under a safe conduct to nurse her hus
band during an illness incident to his
being wounded. Her devoted minis
trations. however. could not save his
life. and he died the death of a brave
soldier -.
She then applied for the protection

national laws regarding flags OF truce
and safe conduct. her baggage was
seized and she was put In prison for
eight days, when she made her escape.
She then. through the good offices OF
the British consul at New Orleans,
was granted a parole, under condition
that she daily report to General Por-
ter, After being detained in this way
for many weeks she was sent to New
York on an army transport, the Bal
tic, being the only woman on board
with the exception OF her maid, in
company with 400 sick soldiers, Dur
Ing the voyage. which lasted ffteen
days Mrs. Darling, by reason of the
condition of the companionwny,
was thrown down hatch. and suffered
q severe injury to her hand, which has
left her cripple for life.
She afterward made claim against
the government for bonds, 1ewelry
and money taken from her trunk by
Northern officers and for damages
growing out of her injuries. This was
