The officers did not touch any private property of any description during the capture, nor would they allow the crew to abstract anything. Lieutenant Stone, of the rebel vessel, said to Captain Graham, "We will show you Yankees that we are not such barbarians as you try to make as out." There were on board of the Electric Spark three United States officers, respectively a Colonel, a young graduate from West Point, and a naval officer. They surrendered their swords to Capt. Morris, but he would not receive them, but told them that they should keep them. He then paroled them, and presented each with his carte de visite and a button off his coat.
