He was himself, while anxiously writing, hoping, and waiting forsupplies of troops from Germany or France, doing his best with suchvolunteers as he could raise. He was still established at Sassenheim, onthe south of the city, while Sonoy with his slender forces was encampedon the north. He now sent that general with as large a party as he couldmuster to attack the Diemerdyk. His men entrenched themselves asstrongly as they could between the Diemer and the Y, at the same timeopening the sluices ...and breaking through the dyke. During the absence oftheir commander, who had gone to Edam for reinforcements, they wereattacked by a large force from Amsterdam. A fierce amphibious contesttook place, partly in boats, partly on the slippery causeway, partly inthe water, resembling in character the frequent combats between theancient Batavians and Romans during the wars of Civilis. The patriotswere eventually overpowered.
Sonoy, who was on his way to their rescue, was frustrated in his designby the unexpected faint-heartedness of the volunteers whom he hadenlisted at Edam.
