Note 138 — BRENNIER’S ESCAPE—AND SUBSEQUENT OPERATIONS.
Reading edition
“He ruined all the principal bastions, and kept up a constant fire of the artillery in a singular manner, for always he fired several guns at one moment with very heavy charges, placing one across the muzzle of another, so that, while some shots flew towards the besiegers, and a loud explosion was heard, others destroyed pieces without attracting notice.”—Napier.
