Were relieved to-day about twelve o'clock by Company I, and moved to
camp, where everything is as usual. The company have been hard at work on the
trenches; and after resting a while, all turned out again, with spades as trumps,
and at it we went. The "Ceres" run the blockade last night without
being struck. The rebel batteries opened fire about dinner-time on Blockhouse
No. 3. We were ordered to the breastworks, and the fort replied, making a fine
noise for a little while.
