Grant answered that officers and men "Shall not hereafter serve in the armies of the Confederate States or in any military capacity against the United States of America, or render aid to the enemies of the latter, until properly exchanged," all being then freed on parole. The horses of the cavalry were the property of the men.
Captain Desportes read aloud "It is of the utmost importance to me, that the Blonde should not be captured by the enemy, as the Ville d'Anvers has been. You tell me that it is ashore near you, and the Captain and crew upon parole, to be liberated if they assist in the extrication of the vessel. This must not be.

Saint Aldegonde was now released from prison upon parole, and despatched on a secret mission to the Prince and estates.
"Pardon me, that again is impossible; for I should add that he was under some kind of parole." "A prisoner under escort, in irons condemned, or at least intended, to be shot and all the while under parole! My friend, that must surely have been a strange kind of parole!" "It was, and, saving your reverence, a cursed dirty kind. But it sufficed for my kinsman, as I know to my cost. "A brave story."
