Men of War chase ships off the fort and Turkish siege reports
From September 22 to 25 1739 readers learn of Haddock’s squadron patrolling off the fort and inspecting vessels, a French bark captured for wine, and a Catalan bark brought in with corn. News from the Imperial Camp near Banoffza describes Turkish assaults on the Redoubt opposite the Danube and garrison countermeasures. Vienna reports detained nobles, court intrigues, and evolving peace hopes, while Danube navigation grows riskier as Turkish small craft harass larger ships. Ratisbon notes Belgrade commandant’s report of forceful efforts and ongoing military dispositions.
