on February 6, to throw his investing
troops in overwhelming numbers
around the garrison, in cooperation
with the attack by Focte's fotilla, his

ton, were four miles distant when the
engagement opened. They did not
reach the fort uptilit had been knocked

this moment q halt was called along

far victorious were ordered back into

earlier they had sailed and fought with
unequaled valor and persistence for
this opening Of escape. Had this army
marched out then and there, as it
might have done, or had it later in the
