Commodore Lynch's report. The following is an extract from the report of Capt. Lynch to the Navy Department: The water being too low in the Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal for this vessel (the Sea Bird) to proceed to Roanoke Island, we last evening steamed down and anchored in the bight of Craney Island.
