A. AaIaklava.

The total Russian forces, infantry,
cavalry and artillery. at Balaklava has
been variously estimated ut from 3d.
600 to $4,000 men, while the English
force was much smaller in numbers.
The two famous charges Of that day
were that of the heavy brigade Of about
800 men against 5000 Russians and the
still more renowned charge Of the light
brigade of about 600 men against the
Russian guns. No accurate figures
seem to be recorded, as those given by
various authorities differ greatly. The
result Of the first charge was the break
OF the Russian cavalry, which fed back
to the protection Of their artillery and
were not pursued very far by the Brit
ish. The second charge was unsuc-
cessful as a military measure, for,
though the Russian gunners were mo-
mentarily driven from their guns, they
returned and fired upon friend and foe
alike, while superior force Of cavalry
engaged the British. 1t is said that
evening parade saw only ten men
mounted out Of the GOO who had ridden
in the charge.
