The mortar bOmbardment is continued as
usual, but with much more accuracy. The
rebels are strongly fOrliIying the lower por-

completely Sileneed. It Is submerged, but
large gangs Of men and teams are at work
upon the upper par, repairing and mounting
guns. New and extensive lines of fOrtiaea-
tons have been erected upon the main shore,
and three or four new and large camps es.

reinforced. Anew battery has also been es-
tsbIished upon the Island, and transports
