The Confederates press their adaws' three brigades are deployed on the right, Semmes along the Plank Road, Wofford on each side of as the whaling-station near the Azores, where Semmes had struck his first blows against the merchanof Mexico passed. Thus free in his movements, Semmes proceeded to lie in ambush along the route of on the 10th of January on the coast of Texas.
