I got under way at half-past 9 A. M., (having satisfied myself that they were making batteries,) in company with the Seminole, Lieut. Norton in charge.
I ordered her to follow my motions.
We proceeded to Freestone Point, and I went close in and fired six shells, dispersing the workmen, and receiving no return of fire I stood out. At that moment the Seminole opened fire with her battery, which was immediately answered from the said point with rifled shot, disclosing the existence of a battery there.

After she fired sufficiently long in my opinion, I ordered her to cease firing and return to her anchorage.

Here we halted, and ordered the arms to be loaded, and sent forward an advance guard, consisting of a dozen good men, armed with Sharp's rifled carbines, under command of Lieutenant Stevenson, of my company.
I also detached a rear guard and flank patrols, under the direction of Lieutenants Woodruff and Thomas, Captain Bennett and myself remaining with the main body.
