Fl, 1689. L * 162 THE SIEGE the gate. At this moment some fifty or sixty of the garrison, headed by Captain Noble, issued from Butcher's Gate and Bishop's Gate, and attacked the assailants with vigour ; while at the same time shot of every description rained upon them from the wall. The result was that Donough Macarthy fared no better than his predecessors; he and his men had soon to abandon the works and to retreat to their own lines. He had this merit at least, that none of the enemy ever cam...e so near the walls throughout the whole siege. Indeed, it may be allowed that he fulfilled the prediction to the very letter ; Clancarty knocked at the gate, but he did not get in. In this conflict three of the assailants were taken prisoners, thirty were killed, and the number wounded must have been in proportion. Captain Ash records that he never remembers to have heard so many shots fired in so short a time. The remarkable thing is, that during the whole fight the garrison had but one man killed and one wounded.
