A Re-Union Held on the Rains of the His
toric Fort. A Park Suggested.
Wilmington, N. C. Aug. 18.
The first re-union of the survivors
of the battle of Fort Fisher was
held today on the 'mine of the old
fortification, about twenty miles
below Wilmington, and it was the
most glorious meeting of veterans
ever held in this section of the
state. Nearly three hundred vet
erans, mostly survivors of the
great conflict, and coming from
many states, were present to join
m the celebration of the occasion.
The day was one of inspiration
and patriotism and the old war
riors lived over again in their
memories the bloody battle. Very
few of those who gathered on the
old earth works Had vieited the
spot since the fall o( the fort, Jan
uary 15, 1864. The genoral out
line of the surroundings was f ami
liar to their minds, but all the de
tails had been altered by the wear
of years. I
Of the many incidents of the
day was the embrace of Col. Wil
liam Lamb, of Norfolk, who com
manded the fort, andCapt. James
Parker, of New Jersey, who was
in command of the marines who
landed from .the Federal ships and
made the daring charge against
the fort. As those two heroes f
the greatest bombarbmint the
world has ever known from the
opposing armies stood on th very
grouud of. the battle and viewed
ruins, Captain Parker threw his
arms about Colonel Lamb and
said: "I thank God that westand
on this grouud today as friends."
It was a scene never to be forgot

sjiw it sent up a mighty rebel yell.

That one incident expressed the
sentiment of the occasion.
The program was completed at
the pavilian on Carolina Beach.
A sumptuous lunch was served by
the Daughters of the Confederacy,
after which four elegant speeches
were made by Governor Chau. B.
Aycock, Col. William Lamb, of
Norfolk, Captain James Parker, of
New Jersey, and Eugene Martin,
a prominent Wilmington lawyer.
The speeches were eloquentj pa
triotic and inspiring,' and they
were' received with enthusiasm.
. Col. Lamb received a great ova
tion from the old comrodes in his
command. Captain Parker, a re
tired naval officer, who was a hero
of the battle and who defended
Admiral Schley in the famous case
-that grow out' of the Spanish-American
war, was also given a
warm roceptou. ' The following
resolution was unanimously adopt-
ed by the survivors :
"Whereas, that as one of the
most momorablo battles of the
civil' war and the fiercest bom
bardment since the invention of
gunpowder, took plac at this his
toric spot January 13, 14 and 15,
1S05, it is eminently right and
proper that we, the veterans of
the blue and gray, should make
effort to have the heroism of these
brave men perpetuated o the re
motest generations; therefore, be
"Resolved, That we pledge our
selves to use our influence with
our senators and members of the
House of Representatives to ask
Congress to restore the old fort
and create a park, which will re-
main an everlasting monument
t the brave Americans who took
part in the bloody struggle."
Tonight at the armory of the
Wilmington Light Infantry Col.
Lamb received his comrades. A
