It is impossible to judge the amount
Of damage done to the buildings and
forts. They appeared to be riddled
with shot; but the Spaniards were
plucky. The after turret of the Am.

Detroit and the Montgomery retired

damage. The Porter and Wampatuck
also stayed out Of range.

fine, but the heavy swell made accurate

were called on the Iowa and few
