To Captain Tilton and his Marines belongs the honor of first landing and last leaving the shore, in leading the advance on the march, in entering the forts, and in acting as skirmishers. Cosen as the advanced guard, on account of their steadiness and discipline, and looked to with confidence in case of dificulty, their whole behavior on the march and in the assault proved that it was not misplaced.
