The fort was held with all the energy of despairing men ; and the rebel shouts of " Never sur- render ! never surrender ! " were distinctly heard above the roar of conflict. 47 370 MASSACHUSETTS IN THE REBELLION. For twenty-seven minutes, our men hung upon the works. To advance seemed impossible; retreat was equally so. One more rush, and with a deafening cheer the parapet was gained ; and, after a short hand-to-hand struggle, the fort and its garrison were captured. Not a man escaped. Capt. Go...odrich of the Thirty-fourth, with a few men, turned the captured guns upon the nearest fort, and returned them their own shells. Our loss was slight when the length of time, and severity of the engagement, is considered ; being four killed and thirty-six wounded. Arms were now stacked, intreuchments thrown up, and we held what we had gained. April 3, the regiment joined in the pursuit of the rebels, now in full retreat. On the morning of the 9th, encountered the enemy under Gen. Gordon, who were endeavoring to gain the Lynchburg Railroad ; and compelled them to fall back on their main line.
