Reports that he has "started up Blounts Creek" in search of an enemy schooner sighted on 6 May. Does not find the enemy schooner, but instead "one belonging to this colored man named James Moore, and which I send to you. He says he has been in the habit of running her, (previous to the last attack by the enemy) on passes from the Provost Marshall." Foster writes from aboard the U.S.S. Delaware, which he commanded.
