COMPANY K.
Company K was composite. Perhaps the best account of its beginning is found in the sketch of Captain Squyer's life (ride page 440, but it is quite in place here to state that the last

company of the original ten had men from both Cayuga and Wayne, though the mass of them were from the towns of Ira and Galen.
Ira came with the captain and Galen with 1st Lieutenant Dennis Flynn. There may have been half a dozen men from western Wayne, but Clyde gave the great part of the county's showing. The village thought a deal of the young lieutenant, and gave him a sword and equipments when he went away. The rallying of Ira around Captain Squyer was a pleasant sight, and the popularity of these officers never waned. The second lieutenancy fell to George P. Knapp, also of Cayuga.

*Nothing in the preparation of this book has occasioned more search- ing than this Black Diamond incident. The solution is had in the fol- lowing despatch to a Baltimore paper of April 26th:
Fortress Monroe, April 25, 1865.
Yesterday morning at half-past twelve, the ship Massachusetts, carrying convalescents and paroled prisoners, collided with the small barge propeller, Black Diamond, used as a picket boat, at anchor about half a mile from Blackistone Island. The bows of the Massachusetts were badly stove in, and her people, panic-stricken, seized planks, etc., and sprang into the water. The Black Diamond sank in less than three minutes. Capt. J. M. Holmes of the Veteran Reserve was in command of the men. He thought fifty men lost their lives.
This island is a lighthouse station, east side of the Potomac, several miles above its mouth. Had the men remained on board the Massa- chusetts, none of them would have been harmed; but there is no rule against panics. The death list included Byron, Gardner and Harrington from this company.
