Excerpt
"The tragic interlude" in this little war-time comedy of the affections really happened as I have described it. The men who went to their death beside theHousatonicin Charleston harbor were Lieutenant George F. Dixon of the Twenty-first Alabama Infantry, in command; Captain J. F. Carlson of Wagoner's Battery; and Seamen Becker, Simpkins, Wicks, Collins, and Ridgway of the Confederate Navy, all volunteers. These names should be written in letters of gold on the roll of heroes. No more gallant exploit was ever performed. The qualities and characteristics of that death trap, theDavid, were well known to everybody.
