FEBRUARY 3RD, 1865: Brigadier General John P. Hatch, one of Sherman's subordinates, turned to Dahlgren for naval assistance: "If you can spare a tug or two launches, to cruise the upper Broad River during the stay of this command near here [Pocotaglio, South Carolina], it would be of service to us.
"Night before last three of our boats were stolen, and I fear some scamps in the vicinity of Boyd's Neck or Bee's Creek are preparing to capture some of our transports."
Those Confederate Scamps. --Old B-R'er
