“ Along the road and on the left bank of the Osma were several low ridges of earth high enough to cover a man In 4 creeping posture, and these places of refuge were resting places in the deadly race for the bluff. A cemetery, through which the Russians also had to pass, had a number of tall flagstones standing upright, and these were taken advantage of by the advancing soldiers.

THROUGH THE OEMETERY.

* The attacking force contained the two regiments named after the German Em- peror and some men of the army corps which was at Plevna, It was commanded by Major General Razmindaleff. At half past two o’clock the order to attack was given and the men rushed across the val. lsy amid a perfect hailstorm of bullets. In a few minates the ground was dotted with dead and wounded Russians, and the sur- vivors were resting under the little ridges of the road and the Osma, The men ad. vanced in open order at a rush, and the Turks kept up a steady stream of fire.

ellect. Sometimes a single soldier would run across the whole space between the river and bluff; 1 could see where every bullet hit around him by the dust which it threw up, and yet be generally got across unhurt, There were minutes when no Russian was under fire, and yet the Turks never stopped shooting.

LOOK BEFORE YOU FIRE.

‘It appears they were lying down in the trenches firing over the parapets without looking. The Russians declare they never saw even a head above the bank. By 3 o’clock a considerable force had collected under the bluff and commenced working round to the angle of the redoubt looking up the Pleyna road, while another party, to distract the attention from the first crept up the face of the bluff and opened a scathing fire on the face of the redoubt toward Lovatz.
