Hdiicrr, L.it, Ort. i left in tho steamer

| Head Inlet, arr wed there It one l.. NJ. We
| anchored IN about x feet u water, and waited
| tLofc two houra aud hslf before We got com.
| munication from shore. They then f'ched a
| Hat boat ofl aud loaded her with an assorted
1 cargo q stores, tents, Sc. When the boat had
| -huScd on aud go' about two thirds Of the way

four T.. NJ. which proved to be one Vi the enc
my. Size was standing to cut of our rctroit

| commenced firing upon Us, aud as soon rs tho
| other two came up they did the same. We re-
| turned the Eve with uihc shots, striking one Of
| the boat, IN the bow. Thon C,p'. Hart OF the
10Th Indiana re yiment, suggested to ", to sur
sgainst such ulSs, and requested me

q more overheard. Capt. Hart then suggc,te
/, A." chain 10 Nc slipped and tho boat ran ashore
II | which was done. Tho white flag was the
hoiYtCd and tho crow Of the boat left in thei
boats We cndcayored to get boat TO carry III
soldiers oil the Fanny, but could not DO so. II
c | tho best Of my opinion, thcy had plenty 0
- time from our arrival to that Of the enemy
boats, t. have got everything on shore from th'
Fanny. II sufficient boats had been employees
in the transportation Of the stores, 80 that We
. could have destroyed the Fanny before she
sEoull have fallen into the hands u the rebo, s.
We l,ft there about =. NJ, in canoe. am
arrived here about A. NJ, on the 2d inst.
