"A small number of soldiers succeeded
in reaching the summit early in Janu-
AIRY and in reestablishing position In

continual attacks they were forced to
surrender on account of starvation. not
withstanding many continued efforts OF
their comrades to succor them.

Savannah liner city OF Atlanta, the
steamship Princeton and the city OF
Memphis. They cruised in the vicinity
several hours, but saw nothing Of the
