the building was consumed and the
federals had gained another step to-

Meat had early given out within the
garrison at Port Hudson and, like the
soldiers at Vicksburg, the Confederates
began to cook and eat their mules and
horses. A diary kept by one of the

been made brilliant by the constant
storm of shells that crashed from the
Union guns and arched through the

for Commerce.

The second great siege of the Civil
war was followed closely. Scarcely
had the forests ceased to echo to the
tread of Grants legions in the rear of
Vicksburg when another Federal host
under General Banks suddenly appear
ed on the banks of the Mississippi
near Port Hudson, some miles south OF
the doomed city. Like phantom shapes
the federal troops crept toward the
garrison wherein were General Gard
ner and his warriors of the Confeder-
acy guarding this important key to the
Mississippi and the gulf.
Port Hudson in antebellum days was
Insignificant in Importance, being only
q river landing for cargoes of cotton
from surrounding plantations in Louis
lana. At the landing there were few
crude dwellings, Here the Confed-
crates had thrown up Notifications

Vicksburg General Gardner was encir-
cled by the cleaning bayonets and
cannon of Banks. He could neither es-
cape nor could succor reach him. Still
the Confederates fought and slept
while the summer sun sent down its
heated rays upon the worn figures in
gray until it seemed impossible to
withstand another days bombardment
and fatigue. The rank and file lay down
on their rude beds to gasp throughout
the night for a breath Of cool air.
Without the entertainments the in
vaders from the highlands of the north

A dense mist was arising constantly
from the marshy land and the fever
infested swamps Day after day scores
of soldiers were carried to the hos
pitfalls. Assault after assault was de-
livered on the Confederate works. but
each was sturdily and bloodily re-
pulsed until it seemed that the post
would never surrender In the center
of the fort was a -four mill, which was
used to make fresh bread for the Con-
federates and this became the special
target for the Federal gunners.
1t was late in June when a thunder
ing cheer sounded through the fed
eral ranks as a shot struck the build
