But we had been sleeping on chairs and on the floor for a week so we did not mind much.
The second day we were awakened by cannon and you can imagine our joy and excitement.

We had it all to ourselves for eight hours, as it took the other correspondents that long to arrive.

It was an artillery and infantry battle and about 20,000 men were engaged on both sides.

The Greeks fought from little trenches on the hills back of the town and the Turks advanced across a great green prairie.

It was very long range and only twice did they get to within a quarter of a mile of our trenches.
