From it the hill-side seems to have been graded down, forming a gradual and easy descent to the river. Springs of excellent water come out of the face of the bluff near the bottom all along the front of the fort. There has been a heavy growth of pine in and around the fort. A pine stump standing on the wall measures 3 feet in diameter, and the lumbermen have cut several of equal size within the area. The lumbermen have made a road, with a causeway of logs, along the springy hill-side, be- tween the fort and the margin of the river, so that it is impossible to tell now exactly the form of the face of the bluff, but have not destroyed any portion of the earth-works.
