U. S.
U. S. GUNBOAT TYLER, Lieut. William Gwin, Commanding.
U. S. GUNBOAT LEXINGTON, Lieut. James W. Shirk, Commanding.
On the 6th day of April, 1862 these gunboats were in
position on the east side of the Tennessee River oppo-
site the mouth of Dill Branch. They went into action
at about 5 p.m. and were engaged in repelling the last
attack made by the Confederates Sunday evening, and
continued to throw shells into the supposed camps
of the enemy, every half hour during the night.
