The admiral later reported to Secretary Welles of the prisoners: "It is hoped that under the old flag the deliberations may be of a more beneficial tendency, as the parties are now relieved of their proposed responsibility of a coast guard."
Colonel Gaulden, not to be outdone, published an explanatory letter in the Savannah Republican adding a challenge to the observant naval captain: "As the Captain seems to be a reader of your paper, I take the opportunity to make my compliments to him and to say that when he calls to see me again I shall be at home, and will try to give him a more respectful reception."
