numbered, beginning at the right of the line near the James and numbering toward the left. a few rods to the right of Fort Morton. The works we had left three months before, so hastily and rudely constructed, had given place to a fortified line soMine failure, to guard against the possible issue of another such attempt. In full view at our left front, opposite Fort Morton, were the ruins of the Elliott Salient, the undermined fort, much as they were left on that memorable July 30th. Sinc only our attentions, but those of the guns in Battery XIII, and Fort Haskell on our right, and of two 32-pounders in Fort Morton.

spot where the fragments of the company camped that survived the battle of Reams Station. Fort Morton and Battery XIV. I drive to Hotel Gary from the Crater, resolved after dinner to locate old Fort Morton if possible. On reaching the vicinity, I call at the house of a gentleman whose farm covers much of the Union line. His name is R. F. Taylor. I am the fifth bearing that name to live on this spot, he informed me. You ask where Fort Morton stood. I think it stood where we now are. When your army established their lines here, the main line ran by my father's house, and a large foable land so I set to work carting it away. Yonder is a small corner of it. I think this was Fort Morton. He was correct, and the massive old earthwork whose mortars and 32s made such merry music hic had been wiped out. From this I easily located old Battery XIV, now tumbled in ruins, and overgrown with bushes and briars. The parapet between Battery XIV and Fort Morton had also been removed.
