cal inquiry in regard to the efficiency of our parish
defences against a foe from the Cult, and we have
charaetsr 81 these defences, and who are ae-
Of forts, and we have come to the conclusion that
1t will be extremely difficult for the Lincoln gum
boats to pass up to ,Berwick's Bay. Indeed we
don't believe they can do 1t at all, if our forts are
properly manned and all of our means Of defence
properly managed. e: have heard many sneers
Of the mud forts, y but we have the authority of
