Had theybeen in their places, it would have been impossible to surroundthe left Hank of l>reyniann. Specht, coming up at this moment,endeavored to retake the entrenchments captured by the Ame-ricans; but, night intervening, he not only failed to accomplishthis, but in the general confusion, was taken prisoner alongwith a few other oihcers. As soon as it grew dark, the enemydesisted from their attack upo)» the fortifications and retreated.
