Montenegrins slowly retired before
the well dcploycd Turkish line until
the narrowing Of the ground and the
increasing difficulties OF the road
forced the Turks to reduce their front.
In this prolonged and bloody combat,
lasting over five days, the Turks lost
over 1000 med and aquanlity OF arms
LEFT on the field The victorious
Montenegrins lost 700 men. This
disproportion in casualties is due
wholly to the natural strength Of tie
poSitisn and to the necessary expos
ure of the Turks during the attack
and retreat. The failure orthe Tusks
