During this time we hove cannon and musket shot among the enemy. Colonel Eyre s division came up to the south side and west side of the fort, where he was mortally wounded. 1 Major Montgom ery, who started with his division at the same time that Eyre did to come to the fort in solid column, inclined to the north, until they got east of the redoubt or battery which is east of the fort, when a large number of them came very quick into the battery. Our officers threw a heavy charge of grapeshot am...ong them, which de stroyed a large number. They then started for the fort, a part of them in platoons, discharging their guns as they advanced, while some scattering officers and soldiers came round to the east and north part of the fort. As soon as the enemy got round the fort one man attempted to open the gate. He lost his life. There was hard fighting some time before the second man made the trial to open the gate, which he did. Our little number of one hundred and fifty-five officers and soldiers, most of whom were volunteers when the battle began, were soon overpowered.
