He directed his glass frequently at the barbette of the fort; but the prudent commander of the garrison had evidently concluded to confine his efforts to the casemates. At least one-fourth of his men had been disabled. Another shot followed the first, and dropped into the water; and if it had gone fifty feet farther, it would have struck the boat.
