continued her firing for two hours, when two men were discovered on the beach making signals; a boat was sent near the beach, and one man belonging to the Twentieth Indiana was rescued; the other was unfortunately drowned in the surf. The Monticello was in three fathoms, as near the beach as the roughness of the water would permit, and guided by the information obtained, resumed throwing shells, which was continued until near sunset—nearly four hours—with little intermission.
