very llttk loea for, a a prlaonera after
ward elated, the nolae of. the bursting
ahett waa a great and the clooda of

rouoded were ao thick that they did not
olxsnrve our men advancing until too late.
At the aame time treaobe to the north
of thla point between It and the on.nl
Nrere alarmed by another rrty. Hy
seising these point we were enabled
to oncupy a ronttnuou line aouthward
from our forward poet on the oanal

men beld their field until the euppoaed
sharpshooter were only a . few yarda

run with the result that the enemy fell
kack, leaving thirty txjdlea In front of
our line. In the afternoon another at- (
tack waa attempted, but It melted away j
under our heavy artillery fire and did it
arrive at doe quarter.
"A. treat feature of lb recent fight
ing haa been the accuracy . of eur ar
tillery fire. On one occasion our gun
achieved the feat lot blowing the Oer
man out of tranche they were occu

waa only forty yarda from that which
yr were holding.
"On the sixth of February moat of the
