— There are several old works thrown up along the shore, with little bays be- tween them. The easternmost one is called the Grena- diers' Battery, the middle one is the original old French fort of 1731, and now encloses a garden ; and that further west is an outwork to a bastion of the fortress. The ground on which the old fortifications stand, is o^vned by Major J. Churchill of the U. S. Army, The fortress is situated about a quarter of a mile back from the shore, and appears much like Ticonde...roga from a distance, showing the walls and chimneys of the old barracks, and walls of earth surrounding them. In regard to its plan, however, it is materially different. The for- tress of Crown Point w^as a star work, being in the form of a pentagon, with bastions a: the angles, and a strong re- doubt at the distance of 250 or 30Q yards in advance of each of them. The fortress is surrounded by a ditch ■walled in with stone, except where it has been blasted into the solid rock of blue limestone, (as is the case in many parts, from five to twenty-five feet, ) and even into quartz rock which underlays it.
