Another 1st Act of War by the Union

Fort Sumter fired upon April 12, 1861, 4.30 A. M.

"Abstract log of the U. S. ship Supply, January 9 to June 14, 1861, Commander Henry Walke, commanding.

...April 11, [1861] At 9 p. m. the Brooklyn got underway and stood in toward the harbor, and during the night landed the troops and marines on board, to reenforce Fort Pickens...."

This does not equal the reports that state the landings took place on April 12th, breaking the armistance at Pensacola. The Abstract log of the USS Brooklyn for the dates of April 1861 do not appear in the O.R.
