To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was June 14; on the 16th the Ottomans delivered a grand assault. The fort was attacked on three sides, from Mount Sceberras and on eachflank. The guns of St. Angelo rendered great service all day by rakingthe attacking forces in enfilade, and especially by breaking up theflank attack from the side of the Grand Harbour. All day long thebattle went on with unabating fury; time after time the Janissariesburst over the ruined walls, and each time they were repulsed. Attacked on all sides, the ...few defenders fought with dauntlessheroism, and when the night fell the Maltese Cross still waved overthe fort.
Reinforcements were dispatched as soon as night set in, and thevolunteers far exceeded all requirements.
Now at last the Turkish commanders perceived that, to capture St. Elmo, it must be isolated from St. Angelo. In the course of the nextfew days a battery was constructed on the promontory at the entranceof the Grand Harbour where Fort Ricasoli stood in later times, andanother was mounted on the side of Mount Sceberras to sweep thelanding place beneath the fort.
