And in the great obscurity, imperturbable, it heard him say he "washed his hands of everything." "And the brig?" asked Lingard, suddenly. Shaw was checked. For a second the seaman in him instinctively admitted the claim of the ship. "The brig. The brig. She's right enough," he mumbled. He had nothing to say against the brig not he.

After his fall, the assault was repulsed. General Haywood, commanding the rebel forces, said to a Union prisoner: "I knew Colonel Shaw before the war, and then esteemed him.
