The walls are upwards of two yards thick and strongly cemented; the windows small and crossed with strong iron bars: the lowest floor is arched over; and the next above laid with massy boards or planks groined into each other to prevent assaults from above: for the predatory parties did not proceed by way of sap, but by compendious method strove to unroof the building and let themselves down by ropes and ladders." |
