After 36 hours of bombardment, the defenders were exhausted and the situation was unsustainable because:
- they were but not in a sufficient number to cover effectively all the defensive posts and had no reserve crews to alternate in handling the guns.
- they had almost no food.
- The incendiary shells of the Confederate artillery set on fire the cantonments and barracks, preventing them from opening the door of the magazine for resupply
the guns with ammunition.
