cer Du Pont's report. Flag-ship Wabash, off Port Royal, S. C., March 27, 1862. sir: On being boarded this afternoon, while entering Port Royal harbor, by Corn. Gillis, of the Seminole, I had the satisfaction to hear that formidable batteries on Skidaway and Green Islands had been abandoned by the rebels, the guns having been withdrawn in order to be placed nearer Savannah. The abandonment of these batteries gives us complete control of Warsaw and Ossibaw Sounds, and the mouths of Vernon and Wilmington Rivers, which form important approaches to that city. I enclose the report of Com. Gillis, and also memoranda of information given by a contraband, which may be of some interest to the Department. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, S. F. Du Pont, Flag-Officer Commanding South-Atlantic Blockading Squadron. Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy. Commander Gillis's reports. United States steamer Seminole, abreast Skidaway battery, Wilmington River, Ga.
