Taking advantage of the darkness of the
night, the Turks three times approached
our works, and three times threw them
selves into the trenches. They were,
however, very soon repulsed with loss, and

to take up grenade which had fallen in
our redoubt, and threw it back, with the

and 500 foot, attempted to turn our right
wing but when he had passed the village
of Kaspoli, and was proceeding along the

the brigade of Hnssars, and four pieces of
horse artillery, went to meet him, attacked
