Lieutenant Harrell's report.
U. S. Steamer Union, Acquia Creek, Oct. 11, 1861.
sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for your information: Being informed of a large schooner lying in Quantico or Dumfries Creek, and knowing also that a large number of troops were collected at that point, with the view of crossing the Potomac River, as was reported to me, I conceived it to be my duty to destroy her.

One of the launches was commanded by Midshipman W. F. Stewart, accompanied by the Master, Edward L. Haynes, of the Rescue, and the other by Acting Master Amos Foster, of the Resolute.
I also took with me the pilot of the vessel, Lewis Penn.
