I do not admit, however, that the fleet surgeon is responsible for anything more than the medical care and condition of the prisoners, and as soon as they are well enough to be moved he should report the same to you, in order that you may dispose of them as may have been directed. I did not fail to call Lieutenant-Commander Jouett [U.S. Navy] to account for taking those medical officers on board at the request of the fleet surgeon without orders from you. I do not permit anyone to be taken on board a vessel within my reach without my written orders to the commanding officer.
