The assaiants then boarded her, and, after
a desperate struggle. captured the vessel
The Confederate gunboats were lined and pro-
tected with cotton bales, after the manner Of
the boats in New Orleans known as the Mont
gomery feet. The Nestheld, under Conlman
der Renshaw, determined not to be taken: and
after a consultation, her officers and men al
agreed they would blow her up, with all
on board, including her commander. Only
eight escaped, The balance Of the Federal
feet and all transports escaped. Two canal
boats at the wharf, with two companies Of the
42d Massachusetts Volunteers, were captured.
A. Federal yess-l was placed to reccnnoitree
