SOUTH ATLANTIC BLOCKADING SQUADRON.
1 recommend a reconnoissance to be made by two or more gunboats,
which you can take yourself or send the senior gunboat officer in
charge.
The tide serves in the morning, and if you find matters as I hope
you will, then I desire you to send back a portion of the force to their
stations on the blockade, for the moon is now waning, and attempts
will be renewed to run it.
Huron will join you, I hope, to-morrow; Alabama the next day, and
the Dawn in three days.

Kieytone State, to the northward and eastward of the Rattlesnake
Shoal, and deliver the accompanying communication to Commander

It is an order for his return to Port Royal, and I desire that you
will occupy his position on the blockade.
Possibly the Unadilla may be detained one night off Stono Inlet,
hence you may have the duties of two steamers to perform.
I would thank you to say to Captain Le Roy that I particularly
desire that he would show himself off Stono Inlet on his way to Port
Royal as early in the morning as possible, as a reconnoissance of that
place is in view.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
