"B was probably nearly a month
after the evneuation of Washington,
OT.iru to th(. reported distress ex

boat, under the command of
Lieutenant-Colonel McChcsney. com-mandii!-;
the second Regiment of
North ('andir.a Volunteers (Union),
with several ..f bis uides. anil about
: soldier-, with two howitzers, wks
ordeied to Washington. Its mission
was to take any citizens who wished
to r linn there ;,nd to bring lvi k
others who desired to get away fro:n
there, .Mid also to sec if the people
of W.ishington needed ajiy assistance
which the federals could furnish,
with the approval of the Confederate
force i t Tranter's creek. Among tne
citizenry on board this steamer w.-re
Mr. Daniels, father of the present
secretary of the navy; Mr. A. II.
Rich: Howard Wiswall. Sr., with al'
of whom I was personally well ac
quainted, besides a number of other
people not personally known to me.
"The flag-of-tnu'e boat arrived in
Washington .just before sundown,
tied up to the dock, nnd the com

down the I'amlico river, opposite
Hill's Point, and anchored for th.'
night, with the understanding that
we wen to come up early nest morn
ing and have the final conference
with otlicials and principal' citizens
of the town.
"We steamed up the river as .soon
as the sun was up. It was a bright
and beautiful morning, and hreak
fast was to be served as soon as wc
reached the wharf. The soldiers
were jdlinsr around on the lower deck,
with .uiins stacked and unloaded
no one dreaming of anything but
a pleasant, peaceful reception. But
one ihuiL'. it is said, was forgotten
in thv hurry of departure up the
river from Hill's Point that morn
ing. The lia.L'-of-truee, by some over
sight, had not been hoisted, or, at
least, was invisible.

on i'..- si(je-nenriti'' the wnari, were
Vlonci McChcsney and his aides;
Mr. A. H. Rich: Howard Wiswall,
Sr.. and several others, besides my
sclf. We were all standing well
Iwi w.ird on the right side of the boat,
(the icarest to the wharf) a little to
the rear of the nilot house. Mr.
Daniels was in the pilot house with
the ir.lot. I think, as wc left Hill's
Point he went in there to get a bet
ter view of the approach to the
town.
"All at once, when as the boat
touched the wharf, before the haw
sers hr.d been attached to the piles,
a musketrv fire opened through
I
Main street and went out Market'
street toward Tranter's crc.'k. , !
"The tl:ig-of-truce boat then -.tier-
cd directly for New Hern, where wc
arrived in dne time without delay.
Captain Gray, commanding the
'Georgia Tigers' at Tranter's Creek,
had been informed by a certain young
lady ol the town of Washington on
the night before, of our coming back
the next morning. He secreted his
men in the brick warehouse before
dawn tho next morning and intend
ed to capture the steamer and its
passengers, military und civil, -without
firing a shot, but one of. his
troopers, becoming nervous and ex
cited, prematurely-discharged, his
piece, and a general fusiladu, us a
matter of course, followed. It wan!
u mot unfortunate event, and e-
i pecially for Mr. Daniels, who was
just entering ion tho prime of life
a quiet. high-toned, courteous
gentleman, esteemed by all who
knew him. Had he been permitted
to live his allotted time, he would
have dt served well bth of his st ite
and of the nation."
