made reconnaissance from Dalston and
saw from my elevated position that the
rebels were erecting a line of batteries and
building rifle pits almost the entire dis
lance from Fort johnson to Secessionville
along the river. Black Island is between
James and Gerrys Island, distant from
the former 1000 yards.
