Date: April 30, 1864
Principal Commanders: Maj. Gen. Fred Steele [US]; Gen. E. Kirby
Smith [CS]
Forces Engaged: Department of Arkansas [US]; Army of Arkansas
[CS]
Estimated Casualties: 964 total (US 521; CS 443)
Description: Maj. Gen. Fred Steele’s forces retreated from
Camden after being mauled at Marks’ Mills and Poison Spring.
On the afternoon of April 29, the Union forces reached Jenkins’
Ferry and began crossing the Saline River, which was swollen by
heavy rain. Rebel forces arrived on the 30th and attacked
repeatedly. The Federals repulsed the attacks and finally crossed
with all their men and supply wagons, many of which they were
compelled to abandon in the swamp north of Saline. The
Confederates bungled a good chance to destroy Steele’s army,
which after crossing the river, regrouped at Little Rock.
Result: Union victory in retreat

SS Gulfoil was a tanker built in 1912, owned by the Gulf Oil
Corporation. On May 16, 1942 master Henry Rowe steered her out of
Port Arthur, Texas en route to New York via Key West, loaded with
54, 000 barrels of oil. U-506, under the command of Kapitänleutnant
Erich Würdemann intercepted the tanker about 75 miles southwest
of the Mississippi River delta. The ship had maintained a
zigzagging course up to 2200 that day. The mate on watch saw the
first torpedo before it hit starboard and amidships. A second
torpedo hit the starboard side at the engine room about 15
seconds later. the ship sunk by the stern with a starboard list
in about two minutes. There was no time to launch the boats. Five
officers and 14 men out of 8 officers, 28 men and four-man gun
crew managed to leave the ship. These survivors swam to 2 rafts.
Third Officer John Chalmers reported that "there were men
calling for help all over the place. Somtimes we would hear them
calling and we would row and row until finally we would lose them
in the dark. Occasionally we heard whistles blowing...."
Chalmers said that the suction of the sinking ship pulled men
underwater; some went down about ten feet and were shot back up
again, and others never reappeared. All those on the rafts were
cut and bruised.... After about 35 hours in the rafts, at dawn on
May 18, they were rescued by the SS Benjamin Brewster and taken
to Galveston. U-506 also sank the Gulfpenn the next day. U-506
was herself sunk at 1550hrs on 12 July, 1943 in the North
Atlantic west of Vigo, Spain, in position 42.30N, 16.30W, by 7
depth charges from an US B-24 Liberator aircraft (USAF-A/S Squad.

More recent research has established that the names Keats, Keat
and Keates seem to have originated in Berkshire, but are most
common throughout the west of England. Thomas Hardy liked to say
that one branch of the family, living in the east Dorset village
of Broadmayne, bore a `facial and temperamental resemblance' to
the poet. Others have been discovered in Winterbourne Came, where
the dialect poet William Barnes worked as the parish priest, and
around Poole, Corfe, Looe Bay and Plymouth. Thomas Keate
(1745-1828), who was surgeon to George, Prince of Wales, and
shared Keats's looks as well as his professional interests, came
from Somerset. Eighteenth-century records also show the name
flourishing in and around Madron, in Cornwall.
Keat's only sister Fanny claimed that their father came from this
part of the world, and when her daughter Rosa was baptised, she
entered her grandfather's name as `Mr Thomas Keats of Land's End,
Cornwall, England'. It is tempting to think that by removing her
origins so far from London she was trying to bury her family in
obscurity while also giving them a local habitation. Was this
done to hide something? Was her father illegitimate, for
instance, as some have suggested when pointing out that his
baptismal records do not survive? Or was she simply reporting a
shadowy truth? If she was, her case can be strengthened by one
intriguing piece of evidence. When her grandfather was born, a
Thomas Keats was running a small boat called The Lark out of
Plymouth, hauling bulk commodities between Devon, Dorset and
Cornwall. At the same time, members of the Jennings family were
living near Madron, engaged in a similar line of business: they
owned a boat called the Charming Phill and worked as coastal
traders. It is possible that the two families were linked by
common interests long before they were joined in marriage.
This boat-owning Thomas Keats moved inland in the 1770s, perhaps
elsewhere in Devon, perhaps to Berkshire. In any event, it is
likely that memories of his previous life came with him, and
possible that in due course these were passed on to Keats
himself. His writing often uses images to do with the sea. He
describes himself as `leap[ing] headlong into the sea' when he
begins Endymion; he refers to `dead-drifting' and to casting an
anchor `stiff'; and all manner of tides and currents run between
his earliest `Imitation of Spenser' and his epitaph: `Here lies
one whose name is writ in water'.
Keats could have learned more about his father's family if he had
wanted: he had relatives in London who could have advised him
when he was working at Guy's Hospital in 1815 and 1816, and
afterwards when he was living in Hampstead. There was Thomas
Keats the surgeon. There was Elizabeth Keats, possibly his aunt,
who swam briefly into his ken after his father's death. There was
a `coffee-German' he once met with his brother George at Covent
Garden in 1819. But he did not seek out these people, and neither
did they make any effort to contact him. Although this
occasionally led him to complain about feeling isolated, it could
also produce a sense of freedom. Writing to his sister-in-law in
1818 he said awkwardly but proudly that his name had been
`Enchanted ... the Lord knows where', and even the letters he
sent to those he loved best were often signed simply `Keats. The
signature encapsulated feelings which shaped his whole existence.
Forgetting or concealing his origins, he longed to turn himself
from a private citizen into a poetic landmark.
