The Danes again crossed the river in their ships, and the assault was renewed.

Javelins and great stones were hurled at the fortification, and clouds of arrows from the shipping fell within them.

Covered with portable roofs constructed of planks the Danes strove to destroy the wall.

The besieged poured upon them a blazing mixture of oil, wax, and pitch.

Numbers of the Danes were burned to death, while others, maddened by the pain, threw themselves into the river.
Over and over again Siegfroi led his warriors to the attack, but the defenders, headed by Eudes and the brave Abbe Ebble, each time repelled them.
