dispatch boat

A few hours later the dispatch-boat Diligent came up, and brought the news that Vicksburg had surrendered.

Two days afterward the dispatch-boat came alongside, on her way up the river, and the major took passage on her for Cairo.

But Sylvius Hogg did not confine his efforts to the expedition undertaken by the dispatch-boat "Telegraph."

The fight that ensued had continued for perhaps half an hour, when the quartermaster reported the dispatch-boat approaching.
