The attacking vessels were the Mon- tauk and the gunboats Pawtuxet, Lenapee^ Unadilla^ Pequot^ MacMnaw^ Huron^ Sassacus, Pontoosuc, Maratanza^ Osceola^ Shaiomut, Seneca^ JSFyacTc, Chip- pewa and Little Ada. The attack was begun on the 18th, and a heavy fire was maintained until three o'clock in the afternoon, when the fort was silenced. The Confederates abandoned the place during the night. The gunboats had three men killed and four wounded. While the river was being dragged for torpedoes on th...e 20th and 21st, one of the machines exploded under the bow of the 87iaiomut, killing two men and wound- ing an officer and one man. On the 22d, Porter at- tacked Fort Strong at Big Island. Before the enemy was driven from his guns the Sassacus was badly in- jured by several shot, one of them at the water line. On the night of the 20th a torpedo that the Confeder- ates had floated down from Wilmington struck the wheel of the Osceola^ blowing the wheelhouse to pieces, but, although doing considerable damage, it did not injure the hull.
