repared to contest the advance, but the flag-ship Black Hawk, Lieutenant-Commander Breese, and the Rattler, Lieutenant-Commander Watson Smith, closed up on the enemy's works and drove them into the woods, so that the Army had no impediment in its wa off the enemy's troops in case they should attempt to escape by that way, the only road open to retreat by. Lieutenant-Commander Smith performed this duty handsomely as far as he could, but after passing the fort he became entangled in some pilesttle commenced and soon became very hot; when the tin-clads Glide, Lieutenant-Commander Woodworth, and Rattler, Lieutenant-Commander Smith, and the rain Monarch, Colonel Ellet, were ordered by the admiral to force their way through the obstructions athat the way to fight these batteries was at close quarters.

To this latter point the Admiral dispatched one of the heaviest iron-clads and two gun-boats, mounting some ten guns, under Lieutenant-Commander Watson Smith, with orders to prevent the erection of any batteries until all the transports had passed; but Harrison, who could go across, while the gun-boats had to follow the long bends of the river, arrived first, and posted his guns on a high bluff in a dense undergrowth, where he could fire down upon the decks of the transports, and whence it was difficult to dislodge him.
