ject was to capture Berwick's Bay, and thence proceed to the execution of the plan above indicated. For this purpose, having arrived on the Teche, a short distance above Berwick's Bay, some small boats (skiffs) and a number of sugarcoolers were collected, in which the men were embarked, Major Hunter of the Texas regiment, and Major Blair of the Second Louisiana, were placed in command, and detachments were drawn from the forces. They embarked at night, and paddled down the Teche to the Atchafalaya and Grand Lake. They had about twelve miles to go, and were expected to reach the northeast end of the island, a mile from Berwick's before daylight, where they were to remain until they heard the guns of our force on the west side of the bay. At dawn on June 23d our guns opened on the gunboat and speedily drove it away. Fire was then directed on the earth-works, and the enemy attempted to reply, when a shout was heard in the rear, and Hunter with his party came rushing on. Resistance c

position for some time, and gradually increasing its dimensions, at length attains an enormous magnitude, and often becomes an impassable barrier, extending along the river's course for many miles. This is what the boatmen call a raft. It generally occurs in the tributaries of the Mississippi, and not in the river itself. One instance of this is afforded by the Red River, and another by the Atchafalaya, a river flowing out of the Mississippi, at a point about 250 miles from the sea. The Atchafalaya raft extends over a space of 20 miles; but the river's bed, for the whole of this distance, is not filled up with drift-timber, — the actual length of the raft itself being only about 10 miles. The snag-boat consists of two hulls, firmly secured to each other, at a distance of a few feet apart; and over the intervening space a deck is thrown, having an aperture left in the center. A powerful crab is placed over this aperture, from which strong chains and grapplings are suspended in th
