574 
SIEGE OF MINORCA. 
June 3rd. A 13 Inch Shell from the Castle, was overtaken in the flight by a shot and 
beat to pieces in the air. 
Several of the Enemy’s shells fell into the harbour, where they always burst, 
and shook the works like a small Earthquake; they likewise sometimes killed fish, 
which were taken and eat. 
A Sentry at Argyle Fort, had his Hat tore to pieces on his head, his firelock 
which he held in his hand beat to shivers, his Coat very much torn, but himself 
not hurt. 
New Works. 
A Stone Battery on the counterscarp of the ditch of the West Lunette. 
A Fascine Battery on the Saliant Angle of the Carolina’s Lunette. 
A 3 Gun Stone Battery between Carolina’s, and the South West Lunette.
