they were enticed inside. Hardly had
the last man set his foot within the
courtyard when the Montenegrins fell
upon them and beheaded them every
one. The Turks. deeming all safe.
sent a second detachment to assist in
bringing out the booty and they met
with a similar fate. Then Mehmet
began to suspect that something was
wrong and made preparations for bonn
bardment, but it was too late. A brig
