For a while Preble blockaded his port; and in July, 1804, he entered the. harbor (whose protection lay in heavy batteries mounting 115 guns) with his squadron. The Tripolitans also had in the harbor nineteen gunboats, a brig, two schooners, and some galleys, with 25,000 soldiers on the land. A sheltering reef afforded further protection. These formidable obstacles did not dismay Preble. On Aug. 3 he opened a heavy cannonade and bombardment from his gunboats, which A Street scene in Tripoli. alone could get near enough for effective service. A severe conflict ensued. Finally, Lieutenant Decatur laid his vessel (the gunboat Number Four) alongside the largest of those of the enemy, and boarded and captured her after a fierce struggle.

small portion of which are his orders, reports, and communications, all models of clearness and all breathing the most impartial and liberal spirit. The power of disapproving the acts of the district commanders had by the reconstruction laws been vested in the general-in-chief, to whom General Meade submitted his views and proposed course of action before carrying it into effect in any important case, and the instances are rare where his judgment was overruled. In August the Second and Third Military Districts were abolished and consolidated into the Department of the South, to the command of which General Meade was assigned.
