The Pinkertons watched her house in Washington DC and determined she was entertaining Union officers and politicians. From them she obtained information and passed it to the rebels.</p><p>&nbsp; Eventually she was to be shipped down south and returned to the confederates.&nbsp; She had been paid for her spying with gold sovereigns since the stability of US money was questionable at this time.</p><p>&nbsp; Anyway the ship she was on sank next to the southern coast.</p><p>The crew all jumped off and swam to shore.&nbsp; Rose also jumped off but drowned due to the weight of numerous gold sovereigns she had secretly sewed into the lining of her coat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
