VIEW  FROl\I  THE  INTERIOR  OF  FORT  WALKER,  HILTON  HEAD,  8.  C.,  LOOKING  INLAND,  SHOWING  THE  DEFE:NSES 

FROM  THE  LAND  SIDE. 

We  have  given  so  full  a  description  of  this  fort  that  we  have  now  merely  to  add  that  our  view  was  taken  inside  the  fortification,  looking  to  tnE: 
interior  of  Hilton  Head  Island.  Fort Walker was  nearly  surrounded  on  its  land  side  by  the  Federal  camp,  wbich  had  been  strengthened  by  earthworks 
extending  across  the  island.  Camp  Sherman  was,  therefore,  protected  by  Scull's Creek  on  the west,  Fort Well es  (lately calleu  Fort Walker)  on  the  north, 
the  Atlantic  on  the  east,  and  by  thi11  intrenchment  on  the  south.
