four companies of the reserve, and directed the 10-pounder
guns to concentrate their fire on the portion of the wall to
be breached for the assault. As the reinforcements crossed
the open to the town the Tibetans redoubled their fire,
but our fire from all parts of the field also increased. The
10-pounder battery under Major Fuller did magnificent
work. Stationed only 1,000 yards from the point to be
breached, it placed one shell after another in exactly the
same spot. Bit by bit the wall came tumbling down. A
larger and larger gap appeared, and by four a breach suffi-
ciently large for an assault had been made.
Then the heliograph flashed from post to post that the
jong was now to be assaulted. Major Fuller immediately
gave the order for "Rapid firing" on the upper buildings.
Maxims from three different directions began rattling
away with peremptory emphasis. Every man poured in
his rifle fire with increasing energy. Then a little cluster
of black figures, ever augmenting in numbers, was seen,
like a swarm of ants, slowly making its way up the nearly
precipitous rock towards the breach. A cheer was raised,
which was taken up from post to post all round our
encircling force and back to the reserves in the rear. The
Tibetans could still be seen firing away in the breach and
hurling down stones, but we only redoubled our fire upon
them.
Very, very gradually—or so it seemed to us in our
suspense below—the Gurkhas, under Lieutenant Grant,
made their upward way. First a few arrived just under
the breach, then more and more. Then came the crisis,
and Grant was seen leading his men straight for the
opening. Instantly our bugles all over the field rang out
the "Cease fire," so as not to endanger our storming
party. The Tibetans, too, now stopped firing; and
where a moment before there had been a deafening din
there was now an aching silence. We held our breath,
and in tense excitement awaited the result of the assault.
We saw the little Gurkhas and the Royal Fusiliers,
who formed the storming party, stream through the
breach. Then we watched them working up from
building to building. Tier after tier of the fortifications
