"The Chicora did her part & thinks she sunk one certain besides other damage. They set several on fire & others surrendered but like Yankees ran off afterwards-- so that when day dawned not a ship of boat of any kind was in sight. They went out crossing the Bar about 4 am. The first gun was fired a little before 5.
A British man of war that lay off the harbor told one of out officers that one had 'done more damage than we knew' but-- as they always are-- has reserved in saying more.
