panies of the Forty-six, at-tacked these
trenches. He succeeded in getting with-

being discovered by the enemy. The lat-

and came on with a rush, they forgot to
change sights, and sent their first volley
far into the air. Before they could change
them, they went down before the rush of
the Americans, and fled thorough Lemeri,
acrossthe bridge to the protecting bul-
warks of Tsai. `
Lemeri was thus won at little cost, but
the taking ofthe mountain stronghold be-
yond was a different thing, altogether.
I The foe was awake and alert, and had
the range of every point from which the
Americans could appear. And the made
good use of that knowledge. From their
sharpshooters came a hail of bullets every
time a soldier appeared.
From the church, particularly, the
blighting fire was most effective. The
angel of death seemed to ride on the blast
that poured from its loopholed walk upon
the besiegers. To appear in the open
I meant death; to rush' the bridge meant
destruction by wholesale.
\Vhile daylight held, the force kept back
the attackers, and the fighting was con-
fined to sharpshpoters on both sides.
But as the sun began to drop toward
I the long, sharp line between sea and sky,
thi-owinga flood of light upon the hills
and into the eyes of their defenders, the
I1 inch rifles upon the trenches and their
defenders.
For an hour the big guns did their
.wot-k, while all looked in awe upon the.
havock they wrought. The bursting
shells threw up columns of dust, while
mangled bodies and trunkless limbs, cast
high in air, gave awful proof of their
effectiveness.
\Vhile that was going on, the marines
, from the ships were landing, to join the
|` land ftrce in the attack. This took place
' as soon as darkness fell, shutting off the
view from the sharpshooteisin the church
and hills.
The first move was for the American
sharpshooters to gain the protection of
the wingwalls of Leineri and of the-
Q bridge. From this point, in the early
dusk, they picked of? the lookouts of the
foe, and paved the way for the final rush
across the bridge. This came after dark,
with only the stars to light the way.
The position on the other side was 'not
Won without a struggle. The foe werea.
determined lot, and fought with the des-
peration of a last stand. They had staked
their hopes on this position and would
not yield it without a test. Their cannon
` were played upon the bridge ,but to little
purpose. Their large smooth bores were
for days when wooden ships grappled
each other, side to side, and not a solid
shot were fired through the cnemy’s ports

scraps of iron with which they were

Still the foe fought stubbornly. They `

In reading accounts of what is no
trauspiring at the seat of war, it is wise
always to bear in mind that in the south-
ern hemisphere the seasons are reversed
from those we are accustomed to in
Europe. Thus thesnmmer extends hom

April to September.
