John Jenkins, Third South Carolina cavalry, reported that the enemy had reoccupied Seabrook island (John's island) in large force.

Rivers at Battery Rutledge, and Maj. W. S. Basinger at Battery Marion. During October the Federals were busy making Batteries Wagner and Gregg formidable against the Confederate defenses, without much molestation in their work, while they maintained the bombardment of the ruins of Fort Sumter.

Their effect was to cut away all the arches on the sea face, and to make that and t
