Scene of Truce and Battle Around Sebastopol Hospital
Reports describe a fifteenth century style clash near Sebastopol as the week-long armistice yields to continued siege. Correspondents note dead Russians and French, the crowd amid the ravines, trenches, and Redan with a mix of civility and grim details, including medics loading 77 dead on litters and ships’ sailors among the fallen. The scene closes with field reports on uniforms, officers, and the constant threat of renewed bombardment.
