picked men, started from out the sound in
his steam launch. towing boat with thir-
teen men. Silently the little boats entered
the mouth of the Roanoke for Plymouth

enemy's army numbering thousands, oc-

river was well picketed, a guard being
stationed on the submerged deck Of the
sunken steamer Southfield, a mile below
the town. Fortune favored The brave. and.
successfully passing the river guard with

opposite the ironclad. while simultaneously
with a large fire which suddenly blazed
forth from the river bank came a hot
fusillade from the ship and men upon the
shore. BY the fires light Gushing saw a
