In our issue of last week, giving
an account Of the rescue Il Young
Langston E. Miller from the trans.
port President Lincoln, it was stated
that he was an officer of the Lincoln,
The fact is that he was a quarter
master in the signal department,
which is a petty office, but he is

colors and have the public to think he
held high official position on the
boat when he did not; hence he
has asked us to make this correction.
