In the end he offered to send to Yedo for permission, and was granted three days for this pur- pose.
While awaiting an answer the ships were not idle.
Surveying parties were sent four miles up the bay, sounding, and finding everywhere a depth of from thirty to forty fathoms. As they approached the forts armed soldiers came out, but retired again when the boats drew nearer. The forts, five in num- ber, were very feeble, their total armament consist- ing of fourteen guns, none larger than nine-po...unders.
Many of the soldiers were armed with spears. Can- vas screens were stretched from tree to tree, as if with the idea that these would keep back cannon- balls. In truth, the means of defence were so slight that Yedo lay at the mercy of the American fleet.
Villages seemed to line the shores in an unbroken series, and numerous small craft lay in the harbor, while trading vessels came in and out with little re- gard to the presence of the foreign ships. Every- day there passed up and down the bay nearly a hundred large junks and a great number of fishing and other boats.
