what had happened, and Gabodain Tolunteered .to run down the river past the batteries and get in communication with the rest of the fleet. He got an old dugout, or a rude boat made by hollowing out one side of a lor. This he got into, covered himself over with branches, leaves and grass, and, lying flat down, drifted down the river past Port Hudson. I heard afterward that he drifted so close to the Confederate works that he could hear the conversation between the soldiers.
