During the night of September 6–7, Confederate forces evacuated Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg, pressured by advancing federal siegeworks. Union troops then occupied all of Morris Island. On September 8, a storming party of about 400 marines and sailors attempted to surprise Fort Sumter. The attack was repulsed. (NPS summary)
