topol la situated on the Cri
mean peninsula of the Black sea and
the great harbor and land defenses
which had existed at the time of the
had been planned and constructed
i English engineer. Colonel Upton,
and his sons, and were completed In
1834.;
The Invading army landed ou the
Crimea September 14. 1854, and while
the war was raging, including the bat
tles of Inkermann and Balaklava, the
Russians continued to strengthen the
defenses of Sebastopol. Six thousand
men were almost dally engaged on
them, while the actual garrison was
about 30,000 men. The number of guns
mounted at the final ussault Is said to
have been 800, but several times that
number were rendered unserviceable
during the siege.
Siege of Elevon Month*.
The actuurinvestment of the fortress
began on the 17th of October, 1854,
when the army that had won the bat
tle of the Alma on the preceding 20th
of September occupied tho plateau be
tween Sebastopol and Balaklava. and
the first shots were tired into the forts.
As at Port Arthur, there was a vigor
ous responso ;and day and night, for
eleven months, sanguinary encounters
took place, the losses on both sides be
ing enormous. The Arctic rigors of
tho climate also had a terrible effect on
the besiegers. It was current report
that Cxar Nicholas I said at the time
that "Generals January and February
—meaning the fierce winter months-
wer his beat allies.
The besiegers soon discovered that
Sebastopol was an entirely different
place from what they expected, and
that they had to deal with brave,
active and peroeverlng enemies, com
manded by skillful officers.
As the siege progressed the work In
the trenches became very trying to tho
foes of. Russia. From tho llrst, th*
British army was deficient in num
bora, and severe labor, the climate and
the unusual exposure speedily ex
hausted them. The French, too.
overtaxed, while the very gun* became
shaky from continuous use.
Last Days in the Fort*.
Conditions in the forts wero like
wise disheartening. The Russians had
removed every combustible from their
shelters and buildings, so that, with
the exception of flesh and blood, the
allies had nothing to fire against but
stone walls and mounds of earth. The
Russians, In the sorties, fought with
the desperation of savages, and It was
charged against them that they fre
quently bayoneted the wounded. As
the Japanese arc said to be doing In
the present way, the czar’s soldiers
wero especially Instructed tQ pick off
the officers of tho allies, and in a short'
time Gen*. Cathcart and Strnngways
and Sir George Brown had been slain.
The Mlnle rifle performed wonders In
the siege.
The sufferings of the Invaders in
creased a* the sorties, assaults, bom
bardments and shelling continued,
white the Russians continued to In
crease their defenses, taking advan
tage of every temporary lull In tho
firing.
On the 2d of January there wero
3,500 sick in the British army beforo
Sebastopol, duo to exposure, and to
hard work in bad weather without ad
equate protection. Within four months
after the siege began 8,000 sick and
wounded had been sent from tho
camp of the allies to be returned to
their native countries.
"Tho Strifo of Heroes,
Deadly night skirmishing continued,
the Russians, and especially the Cos
sacks, proving to be an enemy worthy
of valiant exertions. From the Musco
vite rifle pits came shots at short Inter
vals that played havoc among the be
siegers.
These pits were simply excavations
In the ground about 600 yards from the
works of the allies. They were faced
with sand-bags, loop-holed for rifles,
and banked with earth. They were. In
fact, little forts or redoubts, armed with
rifles Instead of cannon. There were six
of these pits, and each would contain
ten men. They were so well protected
and covered by the nature of the
ground that neither the English nor the
French shurpshooters could touch
them.
Severe lighting took place for the
possession of these pits, and on the
22d of March, 1855, three of them were
captured. The battle was described as
truly "a strife of hero©*.”
In contrast to the Port Arthur siege,
the ansallant* at Sebastopol wero fre
quently the Russians. Nigh' attacks
appeared to be their delight,nnd though
In all cases they were repulsed with
loss, the sorties wers well planned and
bravely carried out.
The beginning of the end of the
siege come on June 7. when the French
captured the Mamelon tower and the
English carried what was known as tho
Quarries. These events were marked
by desperate tlghtii j and the loss of
thousands of men. These conflicts were
followed on the 18th by assaults on the
MalakofT and the Redan, in which the
French obtained possession of the for
mer fort, but were unable to retain It,
the Russians losing 2,000 men In Its re
capture.
Ths Besiegers Use Mines.
Matters thus drifted along, with al
most dally combats, until Heptember,
when the Russian commander. General
] Prince GortschakofT. discovered that
his works were being mined. The
Muscovites then put forth their ener
gies in one desperate assault. The
battle of what Is known as Tcbern;
was fought end the Russians w
forced back to their fortifications.
On Heptember 7 the final attack
Hebostopol was begun, wlCi the ex|
•lop by the French of three sn
ml no*.
"Instantly from the sea to the do
i followed by a volley that probably
er before was uttered since the can-
i found Its voice. It paralyzed the
solans, whose commander described
is ’the Are of hell."
The stone walls were like houses
cards before this tempest, but the
je mounds of earth seemed quietly
engulf all the missiles that
could be hurled against them. Tho
bombardment had a terrible effect on
Russians, who had only a few guns
left to reply with, but they kept up
h animation and undis
mayed courage. There was not one In
stant in which the shells did not whis
tle through the air, not a moment in
which the sky was not seamed by their
fiery curves or Illuminated with their
rploslon.’’
Final Assault Is Made.
During the night the bombardment,
aided by the ships of *ho fleets, was
continued, and at a council of war the
great attack was planned for next day,
the French to assail the MalakofT and
the British the Redan. This program
as carried out.
After six desperate attempts, Mac-
Mahon, who led the French, captured
the Malakoff, beating back three dense
columns of Russians emerging from tho
center, left and right. The passages
rere choked with dead bodies, which
seriously impeded the retreat of the
Muscovites. Column after column
poured through tho embrasures, and
scarcely had tho leading men of the lo
aders cleared the ditch when the tri
color floated over the bastion.
The English, however, found a more
difficult proposition in capturing the
Redan. A storming party had got In.
but were speedily mowed down with
grapo shot. Other regiments advanced,
but they, too, fell beforo a withering
fire from the Russians. Panic seized
upon part of the English troops, who
were impressed with the Idea that tho
Redan had been mined nnd would blow
up. Besides, large masses of Russians,
supported by grape from several fl^ld
pieces, had dashed in upon the broken,
confused parties of tho British and
crushed them as If beneath an ava
lanche. But the Englishmen were not
to be denied, and fought desperately to
gpin an advantage. The Muscovites
were soon forced to retire by the pre
ponderating fire of British batteries
and riflemen, and the great fort had
boen won.
Losses During the Qiego.
In this Anal attack the French lost
1,646 killed, Including five generals nnd
160 other officers, while the English
lost 385 killed Including twenty-nine
commissioned officers, and had 176
missing. The English wounded num
bered 1,886.
During the night the Russians with
drew after having placed combustibles
in every house, and In a few hours their
fleet had^been scuttled and sunk. Ex
plosion after explosion made the night
hideous. What were known ns the
Flagstaff nnd Garden batteries blew up.
the magnificent but awful scene being
heightened by the bursting of the num
erous shells contained in the maga
zines. The conquerors, who entered tho
town on the 0th of September, found a
large quantity of stores and also 4,000
guns unharmed. .
