Manley C. White, Sultana Survivor

Sultana Monument In Knoxville, Tennessee

"The following was written by M. C. White, now of Hartford, Mich.: 'I lay asleep on the hurricane deck, aft of the wheel-house, on the Arkansas side, and was not hurt by the explosion. I first thought that a rebel battery had fired on us, and a shell had exploded on board. Officers gave orders to remain quiet, for the boat was going ashore ; but little attention was paid to these orders, as it was soon evident that every one must look out for himself, as the boat immediately took fire.'"
