Eight weary months the siege had lasted, the men in town and hos- tile camp, exposed to the inclemency of the wintry trenches, sinking faster before the pestilence which now swept impartially through all ranks than the soldiers of the archduke had fallen at Nieuport or in the recent assault on the Sand Hill. Of seven thousand hardly three thousand now remained in the garrison.^ Yet still the weary sausage-making and wooden-castle building went on along the Gullet and around the old town. The Br...eedene dike crept on inch by inch, but the steady ships of the Republic came and went unharmed by 1 Fleming, 197.
2 Ibid., 187-199. Compare Bentivoglio, Grotius, Meteren, Wagenaer, ubi sup. 3 Urotius, xi. 590.
1602] SLOW PKOGEESS OF THE SIEGE 269 the batteries with which Buequoy hoped to shut up the new harbor. The archduke's works were pushed up nearer on the west, but as yet not one practical ad- vantage had been gained, and the siege had scarcely advanced a hair's-breadth since the 5th of July of the preceding year, when the armies had first sat down be- fore the place.
