As coxswain on board the U.S.S. Hendrick Hudson, 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 the fierce engagement, Schutt made remarkable efforts in assisting transport of
the gun, and his coolness and determination in courageously remaining by his gun while
under the heavy fire of the enemy were a credit to the service to which he belonged.
