y capture I was taken to Camp Call, the headquarters of my captor, Captain Dickerson, by whom I was very kindly treated, together with my officers and crew.

The privates were compelled to march, but the officer in command made frequent halts, in order that the men might not become too fatigued.

Mustering together our blankets, we formed them into a sort of a tent, which, though open at both ends, protected us from the hot, scorching rays of a noonday sun. During the morning a ration was served out to us, which consisted of about a pint of corn meal and a t

My movements had been slightly delayed by time expended at Picolata f General Gordon; the Columbine proceeding without delay to Volusia bar, which she reached at eleven P. M. of the twenty-second instant. I herewith transmit the report of Lieutenant-Commander Breese, of the Ottawa, detailing an account of the att, and much to the credit of the officers and crew of that vessel.
