d an hour or two, aided at last by the Cumberland, which promptly returned on hearing the sound of the heavy firing. It was apparent, however, that the rebels had taken to the bomb-proofs, for they paid but little attention to us. Our friends had meantime withdrawn from Fort Clark to a safer locality. Darkness began to come on, and with it the aspect of the weather became threatening. The order was passed cease firing, and reluctantly the fleet was withdrawn. The Monticello, Pawnee, and Lane were ordered to remain as near the shore as possible, in order to protect our landed troops. The larger vessels then made an anchorage in the offing.

After breakfast was over, Colonel Montgomery, finding the boys filling their canteens with wildfire, ordered the same to be spilled. After spilling some five or six hundred barrels of different kinds of liquors, and loading all the wagons we had and could press, with such articles as the army was in want of, then burning the accursed place, we took up our line of march, meeting Gen. Lane about eight miles from Osceola, bringing up reinforcements. Here we camped.
