across this barrier sometimes they would
exchange the hard bread of the Union SOL
diers for the tobacco of the Confederates,
and at other times they threw over hand
grenades, the rebels throwing them first and
our men often catching them in their hands
and returning them.
Our mine had been started some distance
back down the hill consequently, when it
had extended as far as the parapet, it was
many feet below it. This caused the failure

heavy artillery fire all along the line had

lhe effect was to blow the top of the hill
OIL and make crater where it stood. The
breach was not sufficient to enable us to
pass column of attack through In fact,
the enemy. having failed to reach our mine,
had thrown up line farther back, where
most OF the men guarding that point were
placed. There were few men, however,
lett at the advance line. and others were
working in the counter-mne, which was
still being pushed to find ours. All that
were there were thrown into the air, some
of them coming down on our side. still alive.
| remember one colored man who, having
been under ground at work when the ex-
pIosion took place, was thrown to our side.
He was no, much hurt, but terribly fright
ened. Some one asked him how high he
had gone up. "Dun no. nasSa, but t'ink
bout tree mile was his reply. General
Logan commanded at this point, and took
this co!ored man to his quarters. where he
did service 10 the end Of the siege
As soon as the explosion took place the
crater was seized by two regiments of our
troops who were near by, under cover
where they had been placed for the express
purpose. The enemy made desperate ef-
fort to expel them, but failed, and soon re-
tired hehtnd his new line, From here how
ever, they threw hand -grenades, which did
some execution. The compliment was re-
turned by our men, but not with so much
effect. he enemy could lay their grenades
on the parapet which alone divided the con-
testants, and roll them down upon US ::
while from our side they had to be thrown
over The paTapet, which was at considerable
elevation. Daring the night We made efforts
70 secure our position in the crater against
the missiles OF the enemy,so as to run trench
es along the outer base of their parapet,
right and le!t; but the enemy continued
throwing their grenades, and brought boxes
ot field ammunition sheIlsl, the fuses Of
