But on April 18, amid a Pacific gale, enemy picket boats spotted the Hornet and its escorts.

Cushing himself swam to the swamps on the river bank, and after wading among them for hours reached a Federal picket boat.

A picket boat conveyed the Prince and his staff through a narrow entrance into the small landlocked harbour, where they landed on a desolate pier, wet decorations flapping dismally in cold wind and spray.

By the way, our picket boats report that a steamer came down the bay this morning, and moored inside the Middle Ground.

Hardly a light showed on the river banks or along the spread of the stream, save indistinct gleams in the misty gloom where the picket boats kept up a ceaseless vigilant patrol.
