Excerpt from The Young Quartermaster: The Life and Death of Lieut. L. M. Bingham, of the First South Carolin Volunteers I had fallen into a sound sleep, when a Chap lain on General Saxton's staff, who had been my fellow passenger, came and awoke me, and said the steamer from Beaufort was lying off at a little distance. He requested me to arise, dress myself as soon as possible, and go with him on board, and we would go up to the town together. I told him that I had considered the whole matter, and that under all the circum' stances I preferred to remain. He said, There are very urgent reasons why you must proceed tonight to Beaufort. We have no time to lose, so you must get ready, as quickly as possible, and go with me. I hesitated no longer, but arose and finished my preparations, and in the darkness went over the ship's side and down the ladder into a little boat, and in a few minutes we were on board the little steamer and on our way to Beaufort.
