MY MILITARY TACTICS in FORT
DELAWARE.

among the prisoners making out list
of all those that they thought would
not be fit for military service soon,
sick and decrepits of all kinds, said
persons to be sent away next day on
exchange. During the night one of
those on the list died; here was an
opening, I thought, for me to make
a display of my military genius. So
I go to the dead mans friends and
regiment, where captured and when,
and other things l thought necessary
for military man to know. Next
morning when the hour arrived to
go I fell in, and stood up in line in
the dead mans place, and when the
dead mans name was reached and
called I answered.
Now it so happened that I was not
able to inform everybody of this
military move of mine, and when I
answered a host of these Confeder-
ates turned their heads and looked
at me. Now this looking attracted
the attention of the officers and they
called the name again. I answered
just as promptly. They asked me
what company, what regiment,
where captured and when. All this
I answered promptly. This seemed
to have stunned the officials, and
they turned and asked some men,
who were standing in the rear, who
I was. These standing men were
kept in the barracks as detectives.
They said they did not know, but
thought l was a Texan. They called
the guard and told him to take this
man to the Fort and put him into a
cell" So the guard marched me out
and when we reached the gate, there
was a great crowd of Confeds who
had come to see who was going to
draw the white beans Here I ran

away from the guard and went to
my barracks and reported to my
friends that my flank had been turn
ed, and without assistance a defeat
was in sight. So changed hats and
coats with my bunk mate and went
out into the street. In about twenty
minutes here came old Adams eve
called him Hackout) with the guard,
looking for me.
They ordered everybody out of the
house and into line, then told them
that they would punish them till they
produced the man they wanted, who
had escaped from the guard a few
minutes before. Did these Texans
tell these inhuman fends where
was? No, sir, and they would have
been standing there to this day be-
fore they would have done so. So
went to the guard and told him that
I was the man they were looking for
and they could do just as they pleas
ed with me, on my account they
should not punish other prisoners.
So l was led away to the Fort and
