They bombarded the position frequently, and assaulted the fort, but were repulsed. The losses were heavy on "both sides. The Russians made sorties from Port Arthur on 28th and 29th September in the direction of Pigeon Bay (westward of the town), and vainly attempted to capture the heavy guns of the Japanese.
