" General Seymour was badly wounded, so much so as to necessitate his leaving the Army by transport for the North, one of his aides was killed and another wounded in this action. Shaw, the gallant colonel of the Massachusetts colored regiment, laid down his life 124 WEST POINT on the parapet of the fort, and General Strong* of the volunteers, Captain of Ordnance, U. S. A. , was killed. At a later period the fort was captured by the Union army, but only after prolonged siege operations, our saps...f having been run to the very sally port of the fort. It was then found that the parapet and all the outworks of Wagner had been used as cemeteries for the dead; the removal of the least amount of sand revealing some limb of a human body. Winter had set in and the major part of the command had been withdrawn from Morris Island, after the cap- ture of the whole of the island and the destruction of Sumter. Headquarters were removed to Hilton Head, Port Royal Harbor. Those who had been hard worked during the summer had now a breathing spell.
