Numbers 21. Reports of Major Henry Bryan, Assistant Inspector-General, C. S. Army.CHARLESTON, August 9, 1863
COLONEL: In accordance with your orders, I proceeded last evening to make a partial inspection of Morris Island, and was there from early dark until pas midnight, having failed to get a boat early from Sullivan's Island.
Our forces there were under Brigadier General Johnson Hagood's command, who relieved Colonel Keitt on the morning of the 6th. I found order and vigilance observed, and a fair police in Wagner, but the engineer work was going on rather feebly, mainly for want of effective labor and from the continued mortar fire of the enemy against Wagner, which lasted until I left Cumming's Point.
The garrison consisted of-
