The captain [lieutenant Read of the CSS Webb] then called us together, about eighty in number, and addressed us as follows: 'I don't know what to tell you; break up in small parties and do the best you can.' The captain's words were full of emotion, and impressed us all very much. But there was no time for pandering to sentiment, so we acted upon the captain's advice, and divided into three parties, each party striking out for itself in the endeavour to get back into the confederate lines. The party I was with numbered twenty-two, and our first move was to get through the swamp to Pearl river, but failed. One of the parties, numbering about twenty-two, surrendered to the Hollyhock that same evening. My party tramped around in the swamps until dark, when we went to a planter's house to get something to eat. This he gave us in a hurry in order to get rid of us as quickly as possible, for fear the enemy would find us there and arrest him for harbouring confederate soldiers. That night we slept in his hay loft, contrary to his orders, and the next morning we went to another planter's house for breakfast. Breakfast was served us in short order, and we were then requested 'For God's sake, move on'. This we did and we soon found ourselves in a public road, where we were captured by a company of cavalry. We were then kept under guard for three days, while a detachment of the cavalry went out to hunt for the rest of the Webb's crew. At the end of that time we were marched to New Orleans, and all over it like a circus train. As we passed windows ladies would wave handkerchiefs and shower flowers upon us, while repulsive and frenzied negroes danced around us in the streets and amused themselves by spitting on us and kicking us. After being exhibited all over the city as so many wild animals, we were marched to the old 'Picayune Press' and kept in confinement till two weeks later when we were exchanged"; shown on a roll of Prisoners of War Paroled at Shreveport, Louisiana, June 20th, 1865; married Rebecca Massahan at New Orleans, Louisiana, April 21, 1875; proprietor of the St. James Hotel, at Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1893; died December 9, 1905, in Nueces County, Texas; his wife, Rebecca, in making an application for the Confederate pension from Texas, stated that her records of his service and other details had been destroyed in a storm at Corpus Christi in September, 1918.
