ing party watched, every soldier that was loung-
ing in the sun; occasionally shot and shell were
sent from the enemy to the knrabeluaia and the
town. but otherwise nothing disturbed the usual
appearance of quiet, almost of desolation.
On our (the South side we looked down on the
large ruined barracks in front,o the inner creek
of the dockyard, the quay, and the remains of
Fort Paul, the spacious inlet from the harbor on
our left, beyond which stands the roofess build
ings of Sehastopol itself. There is also the we'll
remembered long line Of pointed arches,the case
ments of the interior of Fort Nicholas, of which
the embrasures in double tiers pointed to seaward
