Went on to Tupper's Plains. Rebs got around and made for 8
Miles Island near the shore. Moved rapidly. At Harrisonville and Rutland the hungry
boys were satisfied. Little rain. About dusk the report came back that the rebs,
1800, had surrendered. Duke, Col. Morgan, Ward and other field officers. Had
quite a visit with some. Seemed queer to see our Ky. boys hunting our brothers
and cousins. Marched to Cheshire and camped. Rained during the night.
