W.L. Clowes on the 1854-56 Russian ('Crimean') War (3/4) |
 | | There was afterwards a period of bad weather, during which the squadron had to seek refuge under the spit of Berutch, to the north-east; but coaling, provisioning, and completing stores were proceeded with; and, as opportunity offered, fisheries, guard-houses, barracks, and stores on that spit, and on the spit of Arabat, were destroyed. |
 | | The only remaining floating bridge between Arabat Spit and the Crimea was, during that period, burnt by the Curlew. |
 | | The fortress of Kinburn occupies the western extremity of a spit which forms the southern boundary of a considerable basin known as the Liman of the Dnieper. |
