did not approach to a closer range tnan
five and one-third miles. They directed
their fire against the shore batteries and
the town, but no damage resulted, as most
of their 200 lyddite shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries, COMMANDED by
Generals Veronetz and Artamonoff, did not
reply. awaiting a closer approach OF the
