gewitsch

And there, about Gewitsch, siege or no siege, Daun sits down again; pretty much immovable, through the five weeks of bombardment; and, except that Loudon and the Light Horse are very diligent to do a mischief, "attempting our convoys, more than once, to no purpose, and alarming some of our outposts almost every night, but every night beaten off," does, in a manner, nothing; sits quiet, behind his impenetrable veil of Pandours, and lets the bombardment take its course.
