Here he lay for a few minutes, surrounded by the killed and wounded of the enemy, and exposed to the fire of the other batteries ; at length, recovering, he collected strength sufficient to regain the entrance to the fort. He found the bastion in full possession of the enemy ; and an eighteen pound gun, on a neighbouring block-house, from which a fatal fire might be maintained on the conquered battery, entirely deserted. With the assistance of a brave corporal of artillery, named Farquhar, Lieu...tenant Watmough loaded and pointed the abandoned gun. He succeeded in discharging it several times with terrible effect. The attention of the enemy was instantly recalled to this point of ex- treme danger. They saw at once that it rendered the position which it had cost them so much blood to gain, untenable ; their whole force was immediately directed against it ; volley after volley was now discharged at the spot, from which Lieutenant Watmough continued with unabated ardour, and with terrible effect, to direct his fire.
