Answer. I suffered there terribly with hunger. I could eat anything.
Question. Can you tell us what kind of food you got there?
Answer. Dry Indian bread, and, when I first went there, a very little meat.
Question. When were you taken sick?
Answer. I was taken sick—I was sick with the diarrhœa a fortnight before I went to the hospital, and I was in the hospital a little over a week before I was exchanged. I was released on the 7th of March, and got here the 9th.
Question. How were you treated while in the hospital?
Answer. I was treated there worse than on Belle Isle. We did not get any salt of any account—only a little piece of bread that would hardly keep a chicken alive.
Question. Did you get any rice?
Answer. No, sir.
Question. Any soup?
