severed in it for a considerable 

 length of time with the most deter- 

 iniiied bravery; but their utmost ex- 

 ertions were not sufficient to enable 

 them to gain the top of the breach. 

 The bastion, which was the point of 

 attack, was extremely steep ; the 

 resistance opposed to them was vi- 

 gorous ; and as our men could only 

 mount by small parties at a time, the 

 advantages were very great on the 

 side of the enemy. Discliarges of 

 grape, logs of wood, and pots filled 

 with combustible materials, imme- 

 diately knocked down those who 

 were ascending ; and the whole 

 l)arty, after being engaged in an ob- 

 stinate contest for two hours, and 

 suffering very severe loss, were 

 obliged to relinquish the attempt, 

 and retire to our trenches.
