The British entrench for the next three…
July 1759 CE
This work is complicated by the fact there is little diggable ground near the fort, and sandbags are required to protect the siege works.
During this time, the French gun batteries fire, at times quite heavily, on the British positions.
On July 25, a detachment of Rogers' Rangers launches some boats onto the lake north of the fort and cut a log boom the French had placed to prevent ships from moving further north on the lake.
By July 26, the British have pulled artillery to within six hundred feet (one hundred and eighty meters) of the fort's walls.
