COP> RIGHT, t91l. REVIEW OF REVIEWS CO. BEFORE HE SWAM TO LIBERTY-ALEXANDER AXD HIS FELLOW-CAPTIVES IN FORT WARREN The boyish-looking prisoner with the big buttons on tlie right—number 24—is Lieutenant Joseph W. Alexander, who was capturedat Savannah when the iron steamer Atlanta was taken on June 17, 1863, and sent to the stronghold near Boston. This slenderyouth squeezed himself through a loophole a little over eight inches wide, and succeeded in swimming to a small island, after a narrowescape from recapture. Three of his friends and two sailors accompanied him. Before he left the shore with Lieutenant Thurstontwo sentinels came along. One thought that he saw something lying in the water, and extended his gun till the point of his bayonetrested upon Thurstons chest. The latter lay still, and the sentinel concluded it was a log. Lieutenants Alexander and Thurstonescaped in a 6shing-smack, but were recaptured and sent back to Fort Warren after a short confinement in Portland.
