forts but without success Although
it is said that on one occasion the am
munitiOn in the Turkish forts ran very
low and that had the British and
French warships continued their bom-
bardment the next day they would
have succeeded in capturing the forts.
But for some reason the warships ala
not continue the bombardment the fol-
lowing day and by the time they
started attacking the forts again,
fresh supplies of ammunition had ar
rived for the Turks and they were
able TO defend themselves
