The skirmishers ay. Ihe skirmishers had crept up aa close to the fort as the naval lire permitted, and were now lying in iuisiuy-scrapeu noies in tne ; sand, and the brigadolme was MnndJ the low bank of a ditch, a little in ; their rear. A signal-flag fluttered in the re doubt, and the hail of naval shells swung obediently away from the nearer end of the fort and cdncentra ted oa the great angle farther down. Then, amid shouts of command, and with a cheer. Curtis's men rose from their ditch and rushed forward; and ...... ' , the skirmish line seemed to reach the . i ci , , t .1 - tade of logs at the edge of the (1U:h- , , , . At the same time a band of men in ( naval uniform, brilliantly led by of- ! fieen? conspicuous in gold band caps. ! dashed forward from the left Of Cur tis's line of infantry. All of this ad- ; vanee movement was met by a fierce rattle of musketry, and the angry . crash of cannistcr from field pieces, i which fired through the port holes of : the' stockade. . The sullen and hither- ' to silent vails now swarmed with grey uniforms. j P.t-fore this discharge the naval par- i tv--which bore the brunt of it, being more directlv in its front-melted ! awav into a few figures of men flying j thivm.-h the siih .hurous smoke- and a few men lying motkmles on the ! beach.

Under their increased fire, another move for- j ward was made, which brought the ; assault to the log stockade at the scrap of the ditch. This log-work was originally a for- midable defense, consisting of a close ! fence of upright tree trunks, of six or 1 e.Vht inches in diameter and eight to i fen feet in heiiiht. Out side of this. 1 torpedoes had been buried in the sand. But the rain of naval shells had cut r the vires connecting the latter with - . . . - - .. . i , the electric batteries in the fort, and had breached and shattered the logs j so that the volunteer axe-men had ! little trouble in cutting a passage for i the assault. Enough of debris, how ever, remained to break Up such sym metrv or hrisrade lormation as tne the ' hurried advance and the enemy's fire ' liad left.
