iladelphia Transportation Company and commanded by me, was chartered at Philadelphia as a transport, by Lieutenant Crosby of the Navy, about the 1st of July. Myself and crew were shipped to manage the transport. On arriving at Fortress Monroe the Fanny was armed with two rifled guns, one a six and the other a nine-pounder, after which she was employed in various expeditions where a light-draft steamer was requisite. In all these, among which may be mentioned that of Black River, and Cherrystone Inlet, we were successful. When the expedition was sent down to Hatteras Inlet, the Fanny was employed as one of the gunboats, and was the first to enter Hatteras Inlet. After the success of this expedition was established, the control of the Fanny was given to Capt. Rowan of the Pawnee, and Col. Hawkins of the Zouaves, and the boat employed in various duties about the Sound. In order to show that myself and crew were not recognized by the Government as officer or seamen, but simply

t was not until half past 3 o'clock that any movement was made by the troops on shore to remove the cargo of the Fanny. I had but two boats, while they had a large lighter and a number of canoes, with which the cargo could have readily been removed in a short time. Finally the commanding officer of the Indiana regiment came off in a canoe with a lighter and took off a cargo of goods for immediate use. About half past 4 o'clock I saw the rebel side-wheel steamer Northampton heading from Roanoke Island directly toward us; shortly after I saw two smaller boats, propellers, one heading to cut off our retreat and the other so as to get ahead of us. The side-wheel steamer was about two hundred and fifty tons' burden and had two thirty-twos forward. The other vessels were about one hundred and twenty tons, and each armed with one twenty-four-pounder cannon, capable of throwing a sixty-four-pound shot. The powder I had on freight was stored in a house on deck, forward of the boiler, and

Nor do I think it was policy in Capt. Rowan or Col. Hawkins to have sent the Fanny to Chicomicomico without an escort or sufficient guard on board, when she had so valuable a cargo. Upon my return to Hatteras Inlet, I made report of the loss to Capt. Rowan, and on Friday, 4th instant, went up to Hampton Roads with my crew. Here I reported to Gen. Mansfield, and detailed the circumstances of the capture of the Fanny. He acquitted me from blame, and furnished me and my crew with passes to Philadelphia.
