[Webb's Ferry, Pa.]
October 10th.—I continued in the battery at the entrance of the Schuylkill, the galleys now and then giving us a shot without effect. We are situated in full view of their whole fleet of 30 differently armed vessels at the distance of about a mile. A party of our men with engineers passed the ferry this afternoon, and during the night threw up a battery.
