there is a battery.
An expedition of three steam launches

Eustls, son of Mr. James d. Eustis former
United states ambassador to France and
Sauet U. van Orden, under the general

son, VINO distinguished himself at Glen
1uegos, pulled q dingy within fifty wards of
the fort without being discovered. He found

enough composure to dip his flag three times
and then started to put about. A shot across
his bows from the Marblehead stopped him,

showing that she was bound for Jamaica.
