Some such thoughts as these passed through the mind of the traveller who stood on the deck of the packet Montauk, resting an elbow on the quarter-deck rail, as he contemplated the view of the coast that stretched before him east and west for leagues.
Without the knowledge, prudence, and courage that you have all displayed, God knows what would have become of the poor Montauk, and from the bottom of my heart I thank you, each and all while I have the heartfelt satisfaction of seeing you around me, and of drinking to your future health, happiness and prosperity."
The health of the troops during the Santiago campaign was such that the general officers expressed the opinion that the army must immediately be removed from Cuba or suffer severe and unnecessary losses from malarial fever. When the men were removed, however, they were taken to Montauk Point on Long Island, where the climate was too cool and bracing.
I do not wonder, however, at your admiration, for she was a beauty in her day, and no woman is fool enough to be painted after she grows ugly." "Not so not so Mr. Effingham!

It has, doubtless, found its way into your state-room, and has been put among your effects by your man, through mistake.

Oh! sir, it is truly awful to have such a calamity wisit so much elegant preparation!" "Forget it all, my fine fellow, and light up the chain. Ha! she touches abaft! Ten or fifteen fathoms more will answer."
"Yes, take our departure. Montauk is yonder, just coming in sight; only some three hours' run from this spot.

The movement continued without interruption until August 25th, when I sailed for Montauk with the last troops in my command, turning over the command of the district to Major General Lawton. Before closing my report I wish to dwell upon the natural obstacles I had to encounter and which no foresight could have overcome or obviated.
