Pillsbury's Chance Offshore Navy Maneuvers
Massachusetts Aug 22 The contrast in offshore conditions from yesterday to today favored Commander John E Pillsbury s squadron attempting a landing on the New England coast between Portland Maine and Provincetown Massachusetts while Admiral Higginan s forces defend the seaboard. Fog and dense mist hindered visibility but reports from signals and lookouts said no sign of the enemy. Scouts reported Portland and Cape Cod area activity as a defense line remained keyed to the center around the Kearsarge off Straitsmouth Point with alert to Nantucket Sankaty Head.
