Putnam took up an entrenched position as soon as all were landed, and later the transports came and bore them to the main army.
 The Spaniards prepared for defense by stretching a strong boom across the harbor mouth and sinking large ships as Instructions. Their 5000 sailors and marines were very active in assisting the land forces by erecting and man. ming batteries.
 The first move that the Spanish made in the game was a charge by 1500 cav airy. The mounted donS rode down upon the invaders in such formidable array that our men were for while alarmed, but when the Spaniards reached a hundred yards from their opponents their hearts failed them and finding that a bluff was utterly inef-

 The details of the expedition were suggested by Admiral Knowles and inc plan was submitted by the Duke of Cumberland to the Government, which allowed him to nominate the leader. He chose his friend and pupil, Lord Albemarle, who had fought by his side in many battles. The expedition con- sisted of 200 vessels, one-fifth of which were men-of war, and 14,000 men, of which number 900 were classed as effective. They sailed on the 9th of March. 1762, and did not reach Havana until June 6. They landed the next day between the forts of Bocanao and Coximar, within an hour and without

The floating batteries" were moored within half range and proved indeed invulnerable to shot and shell, which lasted all night and day, until late on the 18th. On that day the garrison, unable to make any impress sion on the feet whose efforts were be- ginning to give the small force of de- lenders considerable trouble and in- convenience. conceived the brilliant idea of loading their guns with red-hot shot and burning shells, which though of little or no penetrating power,

The most interesting and exciting episode during this long siege was the ferocious attempt made by the Span iards toward the close, when they strained every nerve to dismay and overcome the already exhausted but still unfinching garrison. More than 50 900 troops and TO pieces of ordnance of large caliber were at the disposal of the spanish general, and an ingenious type of floating batteries, strongly re- sembling the famous cheese boxes on rafts" of the late war had been de- vised by the dons, who expected great things of them in the meditated as- sault.
 The numbers of the opposing forces were ludicrously disproportionate; be- sides the above mentioned troops and o11ns the Spanish possessed nine line of battle ships, 15 gun or mortar boats. covered boats sufficient to land nearly 4O,0O0 men, and in addition the lo noat-

 At the time when the distress was most disheartening the arrival of the provincial troops in perfect health was a most important contribution toward the completion of the works and the reduction of Havana, but these North Americans, in their turn. suffered so much from sickness that very few ever found their way home again.
