will be be shelled at long range, and as
soon as the fire of the Fort slackens the
light draught gunboats and monitors will
pass the fort and encounter the obstruc-
tons in the river above.
To aid in the reduction Of the forts Adj
miral Porter will probably have recourse
to the explosion of powder close under the
walls, demolishing them by the concus-
sion. sassasf aa sssS tsl
The powder will be carried there by an
