To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And Ingersoll repre- sents the enemy as having actually landed on the island. Both these statements are incorrect, ''i^'hey never reached the inlet, and never landed on the island. Again, the two first named historians repre- sent the artillery force as being composed of two distinct corps — under distinct commands, situated at different points of the island — the one the naval force, under Lieut. Neale, exclusively concerned in repelliu"- the approach of the barges by water; the other, the sta...te artillery, exclusively concerned in repelling the advance of the enemy by land. This is also a mistake. There was but one battery in the action, and that was at the west end of the island. It consisted of seven pieces; the IS pounder, assigned to 1st Lieut. Neale of the navy, was between 14 [Doc. No. 75. ] the two 24 pounders, and the four 6 pounders, under the command of the officers of the Portsmouth artillery. The officers of the navy who came upon the island to aid and assist in the defence, took their posi- tion as volunteer artillerists, subject to the lineal rank then in com- mand.
