numbers. They had constructed earth
works and trenches everywhere, and in and
behind these awaited the attacks of the
Greeks. On the whole they clung tena-
ciously to the side fences, while the Greeks
attacked these again and again with the
most desperate bravery. In spite of the
furious attacks still made upon them the
Greeks continued to hold the Reveni and
Nezeros passes. At o'clock in the after
noon it was practically drawn battle.
