American accounts agree with Captain Douglas's report of one galley captured by the British.

In the bows, an 18 and a 12-pounder; in the stern, two 9's; in broadside, from four to six 6's.

There is in this a somewhat droll reminder of the disputed merits of bow, stern, and broadside fire, in a modern iron-clad; and the practical conclusion is much the same.

The gondolas had one 12-pounder and two 6's.

All the vessels of both parties carried a number of swivel guns.
Amid the many difficulties which lack of resources imposed upon all American undertakings, Arnold succeeded in getting afloat with three schooners, a sloop, and five gondolas, on the 20th of August.
