The illustration shows shows the pinnace and paddle box landing to embark two other captured guns, a brass 9 pounder, 10 foot long, and an iron 12-pounder, 4 feet 11 inches long,. In 6 feet water are driven strong stakes, to prevent the approach of boats. The guns are shown in the embrasures of the stockade; they are mounted upon well constructed wooden carriages, with hard wood wheels, the iron-work of which is good. Altogether, forty-seven guns were taken, all of which were sank in 8-fathom water, except the long 9-pounder (shown in the other engraving) and an iron carronade.
