"The above-named officers are at Beaufort, all but the last
arriving there on Sunday evening, whither they were taken from
Morris Island to Pawnee Landing, in the Alice Price, and thence
to Beaufort in the Cosmopolitan, which is specially fitted up for
hospital service and is provided with skilful surgeons under the
direction of Dr. Bontecou. They are now tenderly cared for with
an adequate corps of surgeons and nurses, and provided with a
plentiful supply of ice, beef and chicken broth, and stimulants.
Lieutenant Smith was left at the hospital tent on Morris Island.
Captain Emilio and Lieutenants Grace, Appleton, Johnston, Reed,
Howard, Dexter, Jennison, and Emerson, were not wounded and are
doing duty. Lieutenants Jewett and Tucker were slightly wounded
and are doing duty also. Lieut. Pratt was wounded and came in
from the field on the following day. Captains Russell and
Simpkins are missing. The Quartermaster and Surgeon are safe and
are with the regiment.
"Dr. Stone remained on the Alice Price during Saturday night,
caring for the wounded until she left Morris Island, and then
returned to look after those who were left behind. The Assistant
Surgeon was at the camp on St. Helena Island, attending to duty
there. Lieutenant Littlefield was also in charge of the camp at
St. Helena. Lieutenant Higginson was on Folly Island with a
detail of eighty men. Captain Bridge and Lieutenant Walton are
sick and were at Beaufort or vicinity. Captain Partridge has
returned from the North, but not in time to participate in the
action.
