out pickets and went to sleep early this morning we embarked on the boat again and after 4 hours run turned up the Ohio to Cairo - it being situated about a half mile from the confluence of the rivers - Here we saw the first guns mounted, and the first complete Gunboat ready for service. Quite a number of guns and a large amount of ordinance stores were lying on the levy - This afternoon I took a jaunt the city - fount the port
