Diary of Private John J. Wyeth, April 22, 1863

HOME AGAIN.

We started early this morning on the "George Collyer," bound for New Berne, having on board, besides our regiment, a part of the 46th Mass. Vols., and are towing a schooner with the three companies from Rodman's Point. We were having a fine sail, when the orderly picked up four of us, and now we are on guard below, away from all chance of seeing what is going on.
