The orders were accordingly given, l)ut from causes which the General is unable to explain, the troops did not get into the flat boats until late in the day, and even then not above one- half of the number ordered according to the arrange- ment which had been made with his Lordship. As the boats had more than four miles to row to the shore, it was e\T. Dent that a sufficient number of troops could not be landed that evening, so as to have enabled them to maintain themselves on shore with any de...gree of security.
