Fort Mifflin

From Francois de Fleury's journal.

23. Cannonade and incessant Bombardment from Day break-an Officer wounded-A large Vessel of the Enemy perferated with our Shots and those from the Galleys blew up. I know not by what accident. A second ran aground near the Jersey Shoar- The Enemys Vessels retreat. We are employed in making Traverses behind the Wall, to cover our Troops from their Fire. The East north East Block House blew up and render'd useless a Flank.
Night. I have traced a Ravelin for the defence of the outline flank'd by the Blockhouse-it will cover the Entrance and be of more use than the work which was there before. We have cover'd the left Flank of the Battery with two Parapets and two Ditches. We are deficient in wood, pickets and Earth.
