That said petitioner, Carlton A. Uber, a second assistant engineer in the United States Navy, on the retired list, was, in the month of January 1865, taken prisoner and confined in Andersonville prison. During his imprisonment he contracted diseases from the exposure and privations which he was compelled to undergo and which caused him to be condemned by medical survey as unfit for active service and placed on sick leave. When he considered himself able to perform duty, he so reported to the Navy Department. He was ordered to appear before a retiring board, who found him incapacitated to perform all the duties of his office and in its judgment and incapacity is owing to chronic disease, caused by privation and exposure while a prisoner of war and for this reason, from exposure in the line of his duty. He was consequently retired as a third assistant engineer, his rank at the time he was taken prisoner, although he was entitled to and doubtless would have received promotion on the active list, to date from April 1865, at which time he was still in Andersonville prison, but for the disqualification occasioned by his imprisonment. Shortly after his retirement he was promoted to the grade of second assistant engineer, which promotion, however, does not, under existing laws, entitle him, when not on duty, to any increase of pay above that of the grade of third assistant engineer.
. . .
Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That Carlton A. Uber, an assistant engineer of the United States Navy, who was placed upon the retired list on account of disease contracted while a prisoner of war, shall, when not on duty, received the retired pay fixed by law for officers of the grade which he now holds.
