His plan was at once simple and efficient The troops and provisions were to be placed on board a large sea steamer, preferably the Collins steamer Baltic, which was to carry three hu...ndred extra sailors and enough armed launches to land all the troops in one night Two powerful light-draught tug- boats, their machinery protected by cotton-bales or hay, which would shield it from grape or fragments of shells, were to be used to transport the troops and provisions from the bar; the men below, the provisions on deck.
