At 10 O'Clock NJ, on the 9th, landed at Barnes
wharf did not remain five minutes, as the enemy's
vessels-Massachusett and New London - were
advancing towards me. Iran out to meet them,
received their fire, returned it, and put about for
Pass Christian-using my rifed cannon from the
stern. The enemy followed me for an hour, firing
constantly. had seen the smoke of two steam
ers before leaving Mississippi City, coming from
the eastward, and concluded it proceeded from the
Florida and Grey Cloud, and thought by drawing
the enemy after me to the westward, that it would
enable the TWO steamers to run the blockade,
which was partly successful as one of the steam
ers ran in to Biloxi. The other, supposed to be
the Florida, put back and escaped. The enemy,
after firing at me for an hour, put about for the
steamers approaching from the eastward, and
also put about and returned with them, exchang-
ing shots with the Massachusetts, which, when op-
posite Mississippi City, returned to Ship Island.
The New London ran on about three miles to the
eastward of Mississippi City, and laid to, appa-
| rently watching us, and waiting for the approach
ing steamer which, as above stated, escaped.
| I then returned to Mississippi City, landed al
Barnes and Harrison's wharves, and succeeded in
| taking on board the powder belonging to knight
Rogers & Curtis; also large lot of foundry ma
chinery belonging to R. F. Harrison & Co., and
several families, with their effects, who were at

sissppi City at 6 O'Clock P. NJ, and arrived early
