Our hearts cheered by news from the fleet. A part of it
stranded — one vessel on the coast of North Carolina, from which seventy
prisoners have been taken; others on the coast of South Carolina.
Unfortunately, a part is safe, and is attacking Tybee Island. The
fortifications there are said to be strong and well manned.
