"The pick of the basket," agreed Hadow. "And to think," continued Mr. Francis, "that I must sit down at my desk and write: 'Past Midshipman John de Vigne Garrard, Deserter." The pair were pacing the quarter-deck of H.M.S. Dauntless as she lay at anchor within the reef. It was at Borabora, one of the Society Islands, and the time forty years ago.
In that event, Howard's corps and the cavalry will pursue; all the rest will follow your route. I will be down early in the morning. Try to strike him if possible about the forks of the road. Hooker must be with you now, and you may send General Garrard by Summerville to threaten Rome and that flank. I will cause all the lines to be felt at once. W. T. SHERMAN, major-general commanding.
Many of their wounded bore marks of the saber. During the fight there were many daring deeds of personal bravery, which deserves personal mention. Col. Garrard was in the thickest of the fight, often in advance of the lines giving personal direction during the fight. Lt. Col. Minor was also on hand doing his part nobly. Capt. Allen, of Col.
George and the dragon, Or seen them; and what can be finer, In silver or gold on a flagon, With Garrard or Hancock designer? And from truth let such tales be defended, Bards at least should bestow them their blessing, As a rich sort of jewel suspended On History when she's done dressing.
Garrard laid down the pipe he had been smoking, and, in happy unconsciousness of any audience but the woman at his feet, began to sing. His voice had always been his greatest charm, and the means of gaining him the friendship of men much older than himself. It had won Hadow; it had won Francis.
In this table the column of "killed and missing" embraces the prisoners that fell into the hands of the enemy, mostly lost in the Seventeenth Corps, on the 22d of July, and does not embrace the losses in the cavalry divisions of Garrard and McCook, which, however, were small for July. In all other respects the statement is absolutely correct.
Happy, indeed, would the negroes have been if all their masters had been as my father was. When we moved to Mercer County from Garrard, we had a sale. It was customary then at such a time to have a barbecue and a great dinner. The tables were set in the yard. I remember Mr. Jones Adams, a neighbor and great friend of my father, brought over a two bushel sack of turnip greens and a ham.
By morning the island had sunk behind them, and standing on the dizzy main-royal yard with one arm round the mast, Jack could make out nothing but a little cloud on the horizon. At sixty, John Garrard was a post captain, a Knight Commander of the Bath, and within a year of receiving flag rank and the command of a fleet.
Garrard on seeing this movement of the enemy ordered a charge. Capt. Rankin's battalion was on the extreme right and Company E on the right of the battalion. Now for the charge. The order was given to forward, and as soon as we crossed a small stream, it was increased to full speed.
These figures do not embrace the cavalry divisions which were still incomplete, viz., of General Stoneman, at Lexington, Kentucky, and of General Garrard, at Columbia, Tennessee, who were then rapidly collecting horses, and joined us in the early stage of the campaign. General Stoneman, having a division of about four thousand men and horses, was attached to Schofield's Army of the Ohio.
