General Simpson to Lord Panmure.
(Extract.)
Mr Lord, Before Sebastopol, 4tli September 1855.
From the heavy fire maintained by the enemy on the head of our sap, the progress made hasbeen slow. * * * * *
Within the last few days a second bridge has been commenced from the North shore toKarabelnaia, the object being evidently to expedite the removal of stores from the dockyard.******
I have, &c.

General Commanding.
