en to cross the river and secure the abandoned boats. The dead and wounded had been carried opposite to their vessel during the night and taken on board, but we secured the boats, and in them a number of muskets, pistols and cutlasses. One of the howitzers was found in the water, and our men not having force enough to remove it, hid it in the mud. The boats were completely riddled with Enfield balls, and the large quantity of blood in them indicated a heavy loss to the enemy. The two most injured I had destroyed, the other three have been sent up the river for security. The troops engaged were detachments from companies E and H, Third regiment Florida Volunteers, from Captain Owens's company and Captain Cone's volunteer company. I cannot close without heartily commending their coolness and resolute determination, and the accuracy of their aim. At a distance of three or four hundred yards they killed or wounded at least thirty of the enemy, making a total loss of about forty.
