The depth of water where the vessels anchored was seventeen fathoms with sandy bottom; the seas rolled in unbroken bying them in. At sunset General Butler came in, in his flag-ship, with a few transports, the rest not having arrived from Beaufort. Being too late to do anything more, I signaled the fleet to retire for the night for a safe anchorage, which they did General Butler could or could not have taken Fort Fisher.
