 ensigns, 95 ; surgeons, 19 ; assistant paymasters, 14 : 

 engineers, 21 ; mates, 13 : a total of 263 officers ; 

 and there were enlisted 3.832 men from the same 

 source. The officers furnished their own uniforms 

 and side arms, and the men came into the service 

 armed, uniformed, and equipped. 



About the middle of August the patrol boats were 

 put out of commission as fast as their presence at 

 the mine fields was 'no longer necessary, the sub- 

 marine mines being removed. The monitors were 

 ordered to proceed to League Island Navy Yard, 

 with the exception of the " Passaic," which was 

 ordered to Pensacola, and the " Nantucket " to Port 

 Koyal, and the revenue cutters were returned to 

 the Treasury Department. There was some delay 

 in getting all the monitors that were destined for 

 that point to League island, owing to the fact that 

 they had to be convoyed by tugs, which at that time 

 were hard to procure. The tugs attached to the 

 force were then, with one exception, in Gulf waters, 

 and as soon as they were no longer needed for duty 

 they wore also laid up. The last yachts to be put 

 out of commission were the "Aileen 1 ' and ' 

 frida," which had been for some time used in the 

 quarantine patrol at Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point.
