batteries in our front from some guns laid behind
the Holstein Eyder Dyke and from the cannon
boats on the river. The enemy made repeated
attempts to take our lines by storm, but were re-

the heavy fire the enemy kept up from all his bat

excellent. The enemy have gained nothing,
while the severe loss they have suffered in the
defeated attempt at storming the place must GER
tainly have a depressing effect on their troops.

The number the enemy have lost cannot be given,
but far more than 100 dead bodies having been

heavy.
