D. H. MAURY, Defender of Mobile. EN, DABNEY H. MAURY was a son of Capt.. Soin G Minor Maury of the United States Navy, flag captain of Commodore Porter's fleet. When the captain’ wae twenty-seven years old he died at sea of yellow fever, Gem, Maury told me the following story of him: “Early in Bs service he was sent with some safiore to collect sandalwood on an island of the Pacific. The natives had always been friendly and it was thought to all ave the men there till their work ehould be completed. The natives soon became hostile and all the men were killed except Capt. Maury, who escaped and betook himself to the top of a cocoanut tree, s “The chief's daughter was in love with him and would take food every night and put it at the foot of the tree where he could get it in a night excursion from his ery dwelling. Seeing a slip one day flying a United States flag he put out In a little dug-out with the hope of rescue. He ‘was burned brown and clad in one garment and the sailors thought he was an islander and would not take him on. He returned to his tree and waited until a party came ashore for vater and stopped under his home. Looking down he recognized one of the sallu.s and called out: “Hello, Mike! “Having established his identity he was taken aboard, carried to the end’of the voyage and returned to his home, where he married Miss Eliza’ Maury.

The terms of surrender provided that the troops should march out with flags flying and that the women and children should be protected.
