49/53 Our suspicions of yesterday were true, and Pepworth Hill knows him no more. His range is nearer, he can even reach the Manchesters' sangars with effect, and he is far the most formidable of the guns that torment us. I did not count the shells thrown at us, but certainly there cannot have been less than 250. They were thrown into all parts of the town and forts. No one felt secure, except the cave-dwellers. |
