On the wharf, Rev. Samuel Adlam, of the First Baptist
Church, offered prayer, and was followed by Mayor Cranston and Hon.
Charles C. Van Zandt, in brief addresses. Rev. Thatcher Thayer, who
had for many years been chaplain of the Artillery company, and still
holds that position, (1891) offered a touching prayer in behalf of
the company and the cause for the support and defence of which they
were now about to leave home, kindred and friends, after which the
benediction was pronounced by Rev. Henry Jackson, D. D. A brief
season was then allowed for individual leave-takings, and at 1 P. M.
the company marched on board steamer Perry for Providence to form a
part of Rhode Island's first regiment in the war of the rebellion.
