Libo leaving Oricum, with the fleet under his command, consisting of fifty
sail, came to Brundusium, and possessed himself
of an island directly facing the harbour, judging it of more consequence to
secure a post, by which our transports must necessarily pass, than guard all
the coasts and havens on the other side. As his arrival was unexpected, he
surprised and burned some transports, and carried off a vessel loaded with
corn. The consternation was great among our men, insomuch that having landed
some foot, with a party of archers, in the night, he defeated our guard of
cavalry, and had so far the advantage, by the commodiousness of his post,
that he wrote Pompey word, he might draw the rest of the navy on shore, and
order them to be careened;

Antony was then at Brundusium, who confiding in the
valour of the troops, ordered some boats belonging to the fleet to be armed
with hurdles and galleries, and having filled them with chosen troops,
disposed them in several places along the shore. At the same time, he sent
two three-benched galleys, which he had caused to be built at Brundusium, to the mouth of the
harbour, as if with design to exercise the rowers. Libo perceiving them
advance boldly, and hoping he might be able to intercept them, detached fi flight. To add to this disgrace, the cavalry, which Antony had posted ail
along the coast, hindered the enemy from watering; which reduced them to
such straits that Libo was forced to quit the blockade or Brundusium, and retire with his
fleet.

Several months had now passed; the winter was almost over; meantime, neither
the ships nor legions were yet arrived, which Caesar expected from Brundusium. He could not help
thinking that some opportunities had been lost, as it was certain the wind
had many times offered fair, and there was a necessity of trusting to it at
last. The longer the delay in sending over the troops, the more vigilant itself was becoming less favourable, by the approach of milder weather, when
the enemy's fleet would be able to act and extend itself. For these reasons,
Caesar wrote sharply to his lieutenants at Brundusium, charging them not to
omit the first opportunity of sailing, as soon as the wind offered fair, and
to steer for the coast of Apollonia, which they could approach
with less

About this time D. Laelius arrived with his fleet at Brundusium, and possessesd himself
of the island over against the harbour, as Libo had done before. Vatinius,
who commanded in the place, having equipped several boats, endeavoured to
entice some of Laelius's ships within the haven, and took a five-benched
galley, with two smaller vessels, that had ventured too far into the port;
then disposing his cavalry along the shore, he prevented the enemy from
getting fresh water. But Laelius having chosen a more convenient season of
the year for sailing, brought water in transports from Corcyra and Dyrrhachium; still keeping to his purpose,
from which neither the disgrace of losing his ships, nor the want of
necessaries could divert him, till he received intelligence of the
