mounted was thirty-nine, of which two were
Parrotts and a number of rifled Dahlgreens ; also
about six guns in the works that had not yet

we proceeded towards Norfolk. Immediately
at the upper point of the island was found a

some of it proceeding from the sunken portions
We had also passed large quantities of float

been torn and rendered into splinters.
