CHAPTER XI.
THE DESPERATE DEFENCE Ned's report created some alarm among the defenders of the Alamo, but it passed quickly.
"I don't see just how it can help 'em," said Crockett.

"He's found out that we're few in number.

They already knew that.

He's learned that the Alamo is made up of a church an' other buildings with walls 'roun' them.
They already knew that, too, an' so here we all are, Texans an' Mexicans, just where we stood before." Nevertheless, the bombardment rose to a fiercer pitch of intensity the next day.

The Mexicans seemed to have an unlimited supply of ammunition, and they rained balls and shells on the Alamo.
