S. H 1 96 THE NAVY UNDER messenger from England, who spoke of the near ap- proach of a reinforcement of 6, 000 men under Lord Holland. 92 Sorely against his will he consents to con- tinue the siege operations, but without great hopes of a successful termination crowning his persistent efforts. His own personal courage and energy were never at fault, and in this last success of the enemy he cannot be said to have been guilty of not taking precautions for frustrating the French operations, 93 but... his utter in- capacity was doomed sooner or later to make the expedi- tion a disastrous failure. On the 3rd of October, letters came to Rochelle, written from Nismes, stating that the Protestants of southern France had consented to unite with the English and Rochellers. 94 The latter now sign a treaty of alliance with Buckingham, and immediately afterwards reinforce the English with a squadron of twenty ships under Abraham Chevalier. 95 In consequence of this the block- ade of Re becomes stricter than ever, and all future attempts at provisioning the fort from outside seem to be quite futile.
