{M-1} The first part from _A._ to _L._ is signified by shewing and hiding one link, so oft as there is Letters from _A._ to that Letter you mean; the other part from _M._ to _Z._ is mentioned by two Lights in like manner. The end of a Word is signified by shewing of three Lights, ever staying your Light at that Letter you mean, till the other may write it in a Paper, and answer by his signal, which is one Light, it is done, beginning to count the Letters by the Lights, every time from _A._ to _M._ by this means also the other returned his answer, whereby each did understand other. The Guides all this time having well viewed the Camp, returned to _Kisel,_ who, doubting of his power, being but Ten thousand, was animated by the Guides, how the _Turks_ were so divided by the River in two parts, they could not easily second each other. {MN-2} To which _Smith_ added this conclusion; that two or three thousand pieces of Match fastened to divers small Lines of an hundred Fathom in length, being armed with Powder, might all be fired and stretched at an instant before the Alarum, upon the Plain, of _Hysnaburg,_ supported by two Staves, at each lines end, in that manner would seem like so many Musketteers; which was put in Practice; and being discovered by the _Turks,_ they prepared to encounter these false fires, thinking there had been some great Army: whilst _Kisel_ with his Ten thousand being entred the _Turks_ quarters, who ran up and down as Men amazed, it was not long ere _Ebersbaught_ was pell-mell with them in their Trenches; in which distracted confusion, a third part of the Turks that besieged that side towards _Knowsbruck,_ were slain; many of the rest drowned, but all fled. The other part of the Army was so busied to resist the false fires, that _Kisel_ before the Morning put two thousand good Soldiers in the Town, and with small loss was retired; the Garrison was well relieved with what they found in the _Turks_ Quarters, which caused the _Turks_ to raise their Siege and return to _Caniza:_ and _Kisel_ with much honour was received at _Kerment,_ and occasioned the Author a good Reward and Preferment, to be Captain of Two hundred and fifty Horse-men, under the conduct of Colonel _Voldo,_ Earl of _Meldritch._ * * * * * {MN-1} _An excellent Stratagem._ {MN-2} _Another stratagem._ * * * * * CHAP.
