SIR: To-morrow morning it is my intention to take passage in the
l : biIa for Stono Inlet, leaving this ship here to furnish the Retle.~
with water.
The Unadilla is expected early in the morning to take in coal from
the schooner. You will please to order her off Stono immediately
instead of taking in coal.
Instructions will be given by me to-morrow morning to the Bienvill,
to carry orders to Commander Le Roy in the Keystone State to proceed
immediately to Port Royal, and the Bienville to take the latter's place
off Dewees inlet and the east end of Rattlesnake Shoal.
Every effort will be made for the return of the Unadilla to resume
her station to the northward and eastward of the Rattlesnake Shoal
to-morrow night, and it is particularly desirous that the Restless should
regain her station off Bull's Bay before night.
If possible, I would wish you to run down off Stono Inlet as early in
the morning as possible after giving the above instructions.
Should the Unadilla not have thirty-six hours' coal, please send the
Flambeau in her stead, but the Unadilla is preferable.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
