Company F, Fifty-second Pennsyl-

An expedition started from Battery
Chatfield, on the lower part Of Morris
island, composed of 81 eightoared
boats, called surfboats. for the capture
of the fort. We had to row against the
tide, and were not able to land until
daybreak. AS soon as the rebels dis
covered what we were doing they
opened up on us, and they made an
awful racket. The expedition was COM
posed of all of the men fit for duty OF

boats went back. and left US. We
first took Brooks battery, which was
near to the ashore on James island,
and then went for Fort johnson,
which was an earth fort. We had to
go through a marsh between the forts
Of about an eighth mile.
The commander of the expedition
was Col. Henry M Hoyt of our regi-

thu rebels on one side Of the parapet
and we on the other. We finally got
on top of the parapet, but the colonel
saw there was not enough of us to take
the fort, and he raised his handker-
chief upon his sword and we surren-

the rest OF the expedition had gone

Make Raid and Bag Lot Of
Rebels and Horses.

Our three years service expired
Aug. Q, 1884, and on the 18th Lieut..
Groves, in command Of IL men of Co.
A and II Of Co, B, Tth Mo. Cav, left
Pine Bluffs, Ark, at daylight on a
secret march OF 80 miles south to a
grist mill, which Gen. Clayton was
anxious to know whether the rebels
were operating. We were guided by
Columbus Mari, who lived in the
neighorhood of the mill. He was loyal
and brave.
About noon we stopped back of q
field, where the guides mother, wild
ow, lived, and about three miles from
the mill. AS soon as our horses were
rested we started for the mill through
the timber We had not gone far until
we could hear the throbbing of the en-

Go. A, 7th Mo. Cav, of Milton, Iowa,
in National Tribune. We went within
80 rods of the mill, when the lieuten
ant concealed the command In a
thicket and gave us orders to remain
quiet until his return. He and the
guide left
In about an hour they returned, hay-
ing gone inside the rebel camp to q
house which was not more than 200
yards from the mill, occupied by a
Union family. AS our guide was per-
sonally acquainted with the family and
knew he could trust them. he had one
OF the girls go to the mill under the
ruse of having some milling done, and
get all the information she could In re-
gardNto the location of their camp and
the number Of soldiers there, which
she did.
The lieutenant called US around him
and said: Gen. Clayton sent me to
find out whether or not the rebels
were running the mill, which they are.
There are 100 men running and guard
ing 1t; there are 70 now at the mill
and 80 on scout between here and
Pine Bluffs. and have started since
noon. Two miles south of the mill is
their main camp, occupied by 1000
infantry and cavalry, with two sec
tons of artillery. / have fulfilled my

without getting one shot" "All right"
said the lieutenant; mount your
horses"
We were now about 80 rods north
east of the mill, and their camp was
300 southwest We made a circuit un-
til we were almost west Of their camp
and about 200 yards from 1t, when we
halted, and the lieutenant told Sergt.
Smith of Co. B, to take IL men of his
company and charge the camp, and he
would take the Ia from Co. A and
charge the MILL and gave me orders
to take those left of Co. A and not
come into the mill yard until all of the
men were in.
The rebels were surprised. and did
not discover our presence until Sergt.

Kicked Up the Straw and Applied the
Torch.
Smith with his squad rode into their
camp and demanded their surrender
and opened fire on them Those that
did not surrender took to the woods
and left their horses, and those run
ming the mill rushed out to see what
the commotion was, only to find the
mill yard in possession Of Co. A..
1t was then about o'clock In the
evening, and heavy rain storm was
brewing, which have always thought
was cur salvation. The lieutenant
called US together, and gave US orders
to set fire to their camp, get all the
horses ready. detail guard for the
prisoners and be. ready to march IN
the quickest time possible.

their campfire, and started in the first
tent in the line, and kicked up the
straw and applied the torch.
In few. moments we were on the
raaFeh, and by this time the rain was
falling in torrents. The lieutenant,
Instead of starting towards the Bluffs,
started on the road to the main rebel
camp, but only followed 1t until we
were out of sight Of the houses that
surrounded the mill, and then took to
the woods again.
We got into Pine Bluffs the next
morning about ! o'clock.

quickly.

M'INNIS A DOUBTFUL
STARTER IN SERIES

New York, Oct. 1.-THE twenty-five
Philadelphia players eligible to the
worlds series arrived in New York
last night. All the men look in per-
feet condition and in only one excep-
ton did looks belle the truth. The ex-
ception was McInnis. the Athletics
first sacker. VIII McInnis play Is a
burning question here today.
Chief Bender said: "Stuffy won't
play; he can't with such a wrist as
he's got. Krause and a number of his
team mates said the same. McTnnis
himself don't know.
Connie Mack said Il can't say, but
it is doubtful
The few Philadelphia fans who ar
rived with the team said they expected
to see Derrick take the initial sack, but
later it was stated Harry Davis would
take his old position if McInnis was
unable to play.
