Engagement at Gaines's Landing.
Report of rear-admiral D. D. Porter.
flag-ship Black Hawk, Mississippi Squadron, Mound City, June 3, 1864.
sir: I have the honor to inclose herewith a report of Acting Ensign H. B. O'Neill, commanding United States steamer Curlew, giving an account of an attack made upon that vessel, on the morning of May twenty-fifth, by a rebel battery of ten or twelve guns, opposite Gaines's Landing.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, David D. Porter, Rear-Admiral. Hon. Gideon Wells, Secretary of the Navy, Washington, D. C.

The enemy had left before we got up, blowing up their ammunition, spiking their large guns, and burying or taking away the lighter ones.
