v4.c64.s9.3
Siege trenches were dug and mines run, but with no success. At last Shihab-ud-din decided to raise on a hillock near the fort a wooden tower large enough to hold 500 musketeers. With incredible labour and cost it was built up storey by storey till it overtopped the fort-tower opposite. (Dil. 176.)
