In the meantime Vernon bloeka-ded S:int!;uo, awaiting with impatience nt vrs fi-jia from the army. General Wentwonli frittered his time away until October 5, when he notified the Admiral cf his doubt about being able to do anything further, and, after waiting some time in the bush and mountains, the armr re-embarked November 20- aiul r turned to Jamaica without hfiving ac complished anything except losing a lot of men from fever. The ships were thus forced to haul off from Santiago and the Cubans were left to ponder over the incomprehensive conduct of the British troops, and finally came to the conclusion that the landing had been made without hostile intent. The second fiasco was six years lat er, when Rear-AdmiKil Knowles. y.itk ten ships, carrying 4-18 guns and 580 men, proceeded on April . to at tack Santiago. As the squadron ap proached the narrow inlet to th at bor Captain Dent, who, as Pc-nior.oa- cer, 'led in the Plymouth observed that the Spanish had been so discourteous as, to lay a boom across the entrance, with' four vessels moored within it, two of which appeared to be fire shirts. The cautious captain correctly con jectured that these obstructions were placed to dissuade any at tc nipt on the part ot the British to force an .en trance, and calling a council of his offi cer;;, they agreed with him that the ships would be exposed to great dan ger. The gallant Captain Deit and the Dthers hauled o'T and returned to Hear Admiral Knowles. explaining avLj they liau returned. The Chief Com mander was furious and wrote a com plaint to the Admiralty against Cap tain Dent, and on the latter" return to England he was court-marti;;h 1. but lioriorSbly acquitted. -Rear Admiral Knowles later on found the Spaii'isli-I fleet between Tortu-as and Havana. nn! gave battle, resulting in the I'ns osing several shins and the remainder being forced to iiee. Knowles failed ro roiiow up his advantage, and lie was subsequently court-marl ialed and cen sured, but in the meantime the :'..t vas generally demoralized, charts and counter-charges' were mode !v the several captains and there were more troubles than prize monev to the offi cers and crew.
