days of the war when the Shenandoah
went North and captured and burned

There are men here today who were
on vessels in the Arctic at the time
Many ships were destroyed and the
owners failed to recover from the blow
so the burned ones were never replaced
| think there was an award to the
sufferers made by congress but I have
forgotten what il amounted to. While
the Shenandoah was in the Arctic she
found herself with so many men on her
hands that she could not take care of
them. As they were not belligerents
there was no excuse for killing them
so an arrangement was made whereby
a captain could give a bond to the mas
ter of the Shenandoah and take the
men to the nearest port. the bond to
be paid upon the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy by the foreign
governments.
Zone day the signal went up. and
later report was received, that vessel

Whereas, Railroad corporations either

of bartering done in those DAYS and
great was the profit, to the captains.
