nstructed a casemate out of the heavy timbers found in the crater, and upon which the earth was thrown until it was of sufficient depth to resist the destructive effects of the exploding shells. As soon as this work was completed, and a parapet was thrown up across the crater on a line with the face of the casemate, the troops were withdrawn to the new line beyond the range of exploding shells. The crater being secured, again the miners were set at work running a new gallery under the left wing of the Fort. This mine was exploded on the 1st of July, leaving the Fort a total wreck. in the meantime the main sap had been widened sufficiently to admit of the convenient movement of troops in column of fours during the contemplated assault, the necessity for which was happily avoided by the surrender on the following day.
