about ten
o'clock
One of the crews showed fight , but we killed three or four of them , and the rest jumped overboard and swam ashore . Rogers sent our boat after another boat . I was in the bow , and kept firing at them , till at last they turned to the shore , and escaped into the woods . At about ten o'clock , while we were still fighting , the fort blew up with a tremendous noise . We remained at this place , and in the morning took possession of the boats that we had driven ashore . They contained a large quantity of baggage , -- fifty kegs of powder , and a number of cannon ball . Later in the day I examined the fort .
