first section of bomb-proof defenses.
The defenders received them with bay
onets and dynamite grenades, while the
machine guns on the upper levels poured
a deadly hail into the ranks of the Japan
ese. The struggle was absolutely hand
to-hand. The defenders of the greater
part Of the bomb-proofs on the lower
levels of the fort were annihilated, and
the sections and cross sections Of the
bomb-proofs were piled with corpses.
The Japanese gained practically the
whole of the lower section of the forts,
but were moved down by machine guns
and rifles when they attempted to assault
the higher levels.
For an hour before midnight the Jap
anese artillery shelled the Russian YES
sells, while the Russian guns shelled the
lower levels. A similar struggle was 60
ing on at the time in the west Rihung
fort where the fighting was the same. At
midnight the column attacking the sup
porting fort of Sungshu mountain was
compelled to retire, having lost half the
force.
Fighting at Close Quarters.
The struggle in the two Rihlung forts
continued until dawn, when the assault
ers were compelled to retire to the tren-
ches and established outside the para
pet walls, which they now occupy.
The fighting of the afternoon and night
was the most desperate and sanguinary
since the siege began. The opposing
forces were so close together that only the
fort walls or a few yards of level ground
separated them. The struggle from start
to finish was at close quarters with bay
onets and grenades, and rifles used as
clubs. The ferocity of the attacking
Japanese was equalled by the defending
Russians, who died at their posts every
where fighting till their last breath.
At daylight on November %. quiet
reigned, and the silence during the day
was broken only by occasional and de-
sultory fire at points along the fortified
ridge, where the forces were far enough
apart to use their rifles.

GUS attempts, a small body OF Japanese
succeeded in getting through the wall
and in establishing themselves on the
lower slopes of Wantai hill. The Rus

guns from the upper slopes of the Wan

Japanese were practically annihilated
The most desperate fighting took place
at this point.
Last Effort Made at Midnight.
The last effort of the assaulters was
made at midnight, assisted by artillery,

Attack the Supporting Force.
At 0 o'clock at night a force of 1000
volunteers from the right division, led
by a general, started from point south
west of Shuishi village, pushed up the
gorge between the two fortified ridges
and attacked the supporting fort OF
Sungshu mountain, which is short dis

Port Arthur, with the intention of en-
veloping the city from the west, and
also for the purpose of assisting the as
saulters Of two Rihlung mountains forts.
This force reached the fort hill and en-
gagged a strong force of Russians upon
it's slopes in a hand-to-hand encounter,
which lasted for two hours.
At the same time the Japanese assault
ing the east and west Rihlung forts
made desperate attempts to rush the in

ramparts, inside which they established
trench lines.

The lower levels were the scene of the
most awful struggle. which lasted from
