city boy was at She rear of the

rear elevation with brick -bats and
other substantial Missiles. Ills rear
/ elevation was not so well protected as

ments Andy retrcated and refused to
proceed with the fun until the batteries
in The rcnr were silouced The officers
charged the point held by the enemy but
found 10 deserted. They only succeeded in
capturing several rounds 1l ammunition.
