Entering th narrow neck of th harbor,

water, a beautiful sheet, a harbor offering
a' splendid protection and all tha great
requisite for naval stand. Alone botn
bank were th earthwork and batterie
and thos war mounted with rapkd Sr

at Mora on saw the crumbling old rula
In th same condition In which It had

east of Moro th earthwork battery dis
played three modern guns with shields
and three muxxle loader.
Turning well Into th mouth of the har

off and her heavy port gun. On he tar
board, however, were two heavy gun, all

The cause of her hurried abandonment
