e, Rappahannock River, Nov. 9, 1861. sir: I have the honor to report that on the 6th instant I ordered a detachment of thirty men from this vessel, under the command of Lieutenant Gwin, assisted by Acting Masters Eldridge and Strong, and Midshipman Cushing, to proceed in the United States steamer Rescue to the Corrotowan Creek and capture a schooner reported to me to be loaded with firewood; and, in the event of not succeeding in this, to burn her. The schooner was found to be hard and fasored about ten miles up the Corrotowan Creek, we immediately made arrangements to cut her out. At half-past 11 A. M., an expedition under command of Lieutenant William Gwin, assisted by Acting Masters R. D. Eldridge and F. W. Strong, and Midshipman W. B. Cushing, with thirty men, left the ship in the tugboat Rescue, Captain Haines, which is acting as a tender for us, and proceeded up the river. The Rescue carries a thirty-two-pound gun, and the whole force were armed with Sharpe's rifles. Mr.
