HEADQUARTERS BATTERY MARSHALL,
Sullivan's Island, February 19, 1864.LIEUTENANT: I have the honor to report that the torpedo-boat stationed at this post went out on the night of the 17th instant (Wednesday) and has not yet returned.

An earlier report would have been made of this matter, but the officer of the day for yesterday was under the impression that the boat had returned, and so informed me.
