as ready to seize them as soon as their guns should be silenced; but as their fire had slackened but little at 6 o'clock, Grant changed his plan and sent his troops and transports to the landing-place, six miles from Bruinsburg, on the east bank of the river. The four divisions of the Thirteenth Corps were ferried to that point during the day of the 30th. General Bowen, at Grand Gulf, observed this, and led parts of his three brigades (five thousand men) to the road from Bruinsburg to Port Gibson, four miles in advance of the latter.

He accordingly sent about a brigade eachtoHankinson's, Hall's, and Baldwin's ferr ies, and Cave near the machine-shop. ordered field-works to be thrown up at these crossings.
