Before parting with the reader, it is meet that we should apologize for
having in one instance decked our hero in borrowed plumage. That is, in
attributing to him the feat of unspiking the siege-gun. The honor of
that exploit belonged to John Stray, a private in the First Regiment N.
Y. V. E., and occurred before Fort Wagner. It was done precisely as
narrated, and, as an act of nerve and cool courage under circumstances
of extreme peril, has but few parallels in our late civil war.
THE END.
