today. All the Gunboats & Monitors move out early this morning, going up
the Bay toward Mobile, A little before 9. A. M. heavy firing. Many rumors as to
where the fleet was at work. the firing was a good distance off & kept up
incessantly all day except from 1.30 to 3 P. M. No news in from the fleet this
evening
