[Paulus Hook, September] 17th.
This day a large quantity of lead musket ball and buck shot was discovered in a suspected house, about a mile and a half above us, and brought down to this place and properly secured for the United States. ー Towards night the Renown returned back to her station up the North-River, but kept near the Eastern shore, to avoid the shot from our battery, which, however, kept up a brisk fire upon her as long as she was within reach.
