Unseen, the force led by General van Deventer crept down the hillside until the enemy was well within range, and then the order to fire was given. The Germana did not know where the attack ing force was, nor eculd they estimate its strength. The persistency of the fire and its accuracy conveyed the idea of masy troops, and the enemy did not know but that he, instedt of enveloping us, was himself caveloped.
The result of this little bit of scouting: on the part of the General was that the" German plans were upset, and counter- measures were taken which resulted in his continuing his retreat and the capture of Fondon.

It lies at the foot of a stretch of hilla on a point that pushes the river northwards, to the fat swampy banks of the Romanian mainland, set with dismal picket huts and long "lines" of wow trece. Fortified walls guard the river front, and beyond the minarete and domes on the neighbouring billtopa vest earthworks defend the town.
