made to the chief aurgeon, who
promptly laid the case before Hie com {
mandlug general, requesting that u
launch be placed under the control of
iA« medical department for the collee- j
tlon of medical auppllea from the va

"It waa also requested that a pack I

one pack mule to each regiment to '
transport auppllea—eapecially the field j
cbesta—io toe front for proper dlatri- j
bution, and I «u suggested by the !
cblef surgeon as available for the per- |

"The exigency of the situation ap
parently did not appeal to the com- i

medical department was unable to get |
transportation of any kind to the otb- ]

were a large number of gaval launches ;
and boat employed on various other
(duties.
"On the third day. by order of the '

turned over to the medleal department
for the purpose above named, and at

my refusal to recognize their authority
the commanding general, who had ap

the previous order, and directed, after
hte landing of the supplies already in
the boat, that it should return without
delay.
Presenting the order for land trans
portation to the quartermaster on
shore 1 was informed that only pack
mules had as yet been landed; that
neither wagons nor harness had been
brought ashore, and finally, that the
road was impassible for wagons.
