As seaman on board the U.S.S. Magnolia, St. Marks, Fla., 5 and 6 March 1865. Serving
with the Army in charge of Navy howitzers during the attack on St. Marks and throughout
this fierce engagement, Pyne, although wounded, made remarkable efforts in assisting
transport of the gun, and his coolness and determination in courageously standing by his
gun while under the fire of the enemy were a credit to the service to which he belonged.
