As British troops searched for a ford across the Breach Inlet at Sullivan's Island they were disuaded from crossing, not only by the depth of the water, but the two artillery positions covering the northern approaches. Artillerymen of the 4th SC Regt as well as infantry from the 3rd SC and militia man the guns, with labor supplied by Charleston's slaves. This early in the war, slaves and "free blacks" were not yet serving in the South Carolinian line as armed soldiers.
