 Sir : In compliance with the Senate resolution of the 30th of January last, I 
 have the honor to transmit herewith lists of vessels purchased and chartered for 
 the use of the quartennaster's department since the 1st day of April, 1861. 
 
 -These lists embrace all the information called for, except as to the date when 
 the chartered vessels were built, and the system of inspection to which they were 
 subjected before being chartered. 
 
 It is not possible at this time to answer that part of the resolution requiring a 
 list of vessels now in service, as the uecesfary reports from the officers of the 
 quartermaster's department have not bfen received; but measures will at once 
 be taken to have tlie ])roper papers foi-w arded to this office, on the receipt of 
 which the desired information will be communicated. 
 The resolution is herewith returned. 
 
 I have the honor to be, sir, very r.'spoctfully, your obedient servant, 
 , M. C. Mj ^GS, Q^jiarler master General.

 Assistant Quartermaster General's Office, 
 
 Nno York, February 8, 1862. 
 
 General : I have tlie lionor to ackuoAvledge the receipt of yovir letter of the 
 6th instant, directing me to furnish you with copies of the charters of the 
 steamers Cataline, Kill von Kull, A. H. Bowman, Matanzas, Jersey Blue, 
 Alabama, James Adger, Marion, Enu)ire City, and Thomas Swan, and to in- 
 form you that no formal charters were made with the owners of either of those 
 vessels. At the time these steamers Averc taken up the press of business was 
 80 great upon the department here tli^it to have made written charters for all the 
 vessels taken up would have been next to impossible. The owners were, there- 
 fore, invited to submit propositions for the use of these vessels for the purposes 
 for which they Avere respectively required, which propositions were considered 
 and accepted, with or without modifications, or rejected, as was deemed for the 
 best interest of the sei'vice. In the most of these cases there was no option left 
 for the government ; the troops or stores for which transportation was required 
 must go forward or the government go down. Under such circumstances it was 
 deemed more important to secure prompt and efficient action than alloAV a rigid 
 observance of all the forms and requirements of regulations to so retard move- 
 ments as to invite attack and its consequences, disaster and ruin. 
 
 Steamer Cataline, side wheel, tonnage and place where built unknown, Avas 
 chartered by me from Messrs. Freeman & Co., agents for the OAvners, aa'Iio are 
 unknown, on the 25th of April, 1861, by order of General John E. Wool, for 
 three months ; reported to have been burnt Avhilst in the government serA'ice 
 near Old Point. It is believed that no liv-es Avere lost by the disaster. AVhether 
 government property AA^as destroyed with her I am not informed.

 Steamship Thomas SAvan, (propeller,) burden 462 tons, built in Philadel^ 
 phia in 1853, OAvned by Mr. S. P. Williams, from Avhom she Avas chartered iri^ 
 May, 1861. 
 
 In conclusion, I Avould remark that these charters, so far as I Avas connected 
 
VESSELS PURCHASED AND CHARTERED BY GOVERNMENT. 15 
 
 ^witli thorn, were the host that couhl ho made under the circumstances ; none of 
 ^■liem, BO far as I am informed, except the Cataline, "vvei'C lost or damapjed wliih-^t 
 ▼ in government service, nor do I know or helieve tliat any person in the govern- 
 ment service or any government property was lost from either of them whilst 
 under charter to the government. 
 
 No system of inspection was adopted, nor was any deemed necessary in taking 
 up these vessels ; they Avere all provided with the usual certificates required by 
 the laws of the United States regulating s^^m commerce, both as regards their 
 hulls and boilers, except the Cataline, of Vhich I know nothing, having only 
 carried into efifijct the oi'ders of a superior, who, it was presumed, had satisfied 
 himself of the fitness of the vessel for the*J)urpose for which she was required, 
 as well as of her safe and sound condition before directing the charter to be 
 made.
