eleven o'clock
30th . -- The enemy broke ground , and began to throw up redoubts , moving on at the same time in three columns towards our centre . They quickly took possession of two of our redoubts , which we had evacuated on withdrawing into the town . At eleven o'clock they attacked the right and left of the town with the intention evidently of storming the flanking redoubts . A smart action ensued . Our men behaved magnificently , so did the enemy ; but after severe fighting for two hours they were repulsed , and while our batteries played on them they were driven back in great confusion into the woods behind the town . 1st October .
