March 28th. This morning at four o’clock all hands were called; five A. M., got ship under way; five-thirty A. M., opened fire upon the batteries at Warrenton again; the enemy fired very few shots. Our loss is two very slightly wounded; the vessel sustained no injury except being hulled once, and the chain cable attached to lower yard arms cut in one place. Weather very fine; lay all day at anchor below Warrenton.
