It was a battle ton thousand feet up, fought out in precipitous and jagged rock slopes, ico, and snow. The Alpini, roped together, climbed for hours until sufficiently near the fortified rock eyries to throw bombs. Those missing their footing, and tho wounded, dropped thousands of feet be-, low, and wore battered to pieces. The Austrian dofenders, cutting tho ropes, sometimes hurled whole groups to destruction."—"The Times."
