About 1 A.M. this section of Napoleons relieved Garrity's Parrott
Guns
on the point 125 yards south east facing the Cravens House. A dense fog
obscured the valley from view till about 10 A.M. When Hooker's assaulting
column came in range on the western slope the guns were moved to this
position and opened fire throwing 33 shells. About 1 P.M. Hooker's line
having passed under the point to the Cravens House line the guns were
moved back to their first position.
