Shevchenko and de Randamie aren't magical—their tactics could be hindered quite easily by good feints and a double jab—but Holm spent both fights standing well beyond range, building up her courage, and making one or two charges a round.

Consequently Jon Jones' only real concern in that fight was shutting down Teixeira's right hand, which he could do by fighting beyond range, smothering Teixeira in close, or simply taking Teixeira's punch on his forearm and then moving into the clinch.

About an hour later, guns of the lower battery opened fire. Sachem, Essex, and the mortar schooners immediately replied. Their fire so hampered the gunners in the lower batteries that they did little damage to Farragut's flotilla as it raced up the river, guns ablazing, toward more deadly batteries beyond range of Sachem, Essex, and the mortar schooners. About an hour past midnight on the 15th, Comdr.

Halsey's rapid thrust, however, carried his ships beyond range to protect the escort carriers of Taffy 3. Occasional rain squalls swept through the area as the sun dawned on Wednesday, 25 October 1944. The visibility gradually opened to approximately 40,000 yards with a low overcast, and the wind was from the north-northwest. Kitkun Bay and the other ships of Taffy 3 greeted the day preparing to launch strikes to support the troops fighting ashore.

Extent of the role played by the battery was disputed between Brigadier General Rahim Ademi, who claimed the bridge was beyond range of the guns, and thirteen ZNG and police officers, who held various posts in Šibenik at the time, who claimed Ademi was wrong in his assessment. After the war, the guns were removed from Žirje. two were refurbished in preparation for return to Žirje, as museum exhibits. The battle is commemorated annually in Šibenik each September.

The Poles then proceeded further into the Russian-held territory, where they were to organize a 1-hour rest.

However, by that time the 9th Uhlan Regiment managed to turn back and assault the train from the other side of the tracks.

Despite having superior numbers, Italian resolve faltered.

When Planter had passed beyond range of the last Southern gun, Smalls lowered her Confederate colors and hoisted a white flag, before steaming up to the Union clipper ship and surrendering. His brave deed brought freedom to himself, seven other black men, five women, and three children. The following day, Parrott — the senior naval officer of Charleston — sent Planter to Port Royal where Du Pont took her into the Union Navy. On the night of 24–25 May, the inbound steamer Kate dashed past the Union blockaders off Charleston but ran ashore under the protection of Confederate guns.

That evening, after the flag officer's force had reached safety beyond range of Southern shot and shell, Arletta and her division mates dropped downriver to Southwest Pass where they anchored to prepare for a return to sea. During ensuing weeks, they operated in the Gulf of Mexico, helping to enforce the blockade while awaiting the return of Farragut and his deep-draft warships to join them in operations against Mobile, Alabama. The most notable event in Arlettas service during this period was her chase on 21 May of a cotton-laden steamer which apparently had slipped out of Mobile Bay. The schooner "... put a shot into ..." the blockade runner and forced her to jettison cargo in order to escape to windward.

In October 1897, on loan to the Egyptian Government, Keppel commanded three gunboats on the Nile, which were despatched from the town of Berber, recently captured by British forces commanded by Herbert Kitchener, south to attack Metemmeh on the Nile, which was held by Dervishes. At dawn on 16 October the ships attacked enemy troops at Shendi, before shelling three forts on the bank of the Nile near Metammeh, capturing some ships loaded with grain and then retiring. They returned the following day to discover the defences had been reinforced with more artillery, but continued the bombardment from beyond range of the enemy guns. Estimated Arab losses were 500 men, with one Soudanese soldier being killed on one of the gunboats.

The rear ship Cumberland, a veteran of the Battle of Pulo Aura, was unintimidated and returned fire as Blenheim held position so that the convoy passed ahead and the French ships rapidly came up with her. Opening a heavy fire with the main deck guns, Troubridge was able to drive the French ships off, even though his lower deck guns were out of service due to the heavy seas that threatened to flood through the lower gunports. Linois, concerned for the safety of his masts, pressed on all sail and by 18:00 had gone beyond range of Blenheim's guns and overtaken the convoy, remaining within sight until nightfall. At midnight, the French ships crossed the bows of the convoy and by morning were to windward, to the south.

The archers did little damage to the heavily-armoured knights, but inflicted heavy casualties on their horses and on the unarmoured foot soldiers. Bohemond had sent messengers to the other Crusader army and now struggled to hold on until help arrived, and his army was being forced back to the bank of the Thymbris river. The marshy riverbanks protected the crusaders from mounted charge, as the ground was too soft for horses, and the armoured knights formed a circle protecting the foot soldiers and noncombatants from arrows, but the Turks kept their archers constantly supplied and the sheer number of arrows was taking its toll, reportedly more than 2,000 falling to horse-archers. Bohemond's knights were impetuous - although ordered to stand ground, small groups of knights would periodically break ranks and charge, only to be slaughtered or forced back as the Turkish horses fell back beyond range of their swords and arrows, while still shooting at them with arrows, killing many of the knights' horses out from under them.

Fath-Ali Shah, creator of the marble slide, who is supposed to have felt the need to use it every day John H. Waller, commenting on Qajar Dynasty art, mentions, without any credible source, that such a slide was used by Fath-Ali Shah Qajar and his harem: > Beyond range of the artists' canvases were even jollier scenes; Fath Ali > Shah, it was said, happily whiled away the hours as, one by one, naked harem > beauties swooped down a slide, especially made for the sport, into the arms > of their lord and master before being playfully dunked in a pool.John H. > Waller, Beyond the Khyber Pass: the road to British disaster in the First > Afghan War, Random House, 1990, p. 59. The slide was described by Edward Granville Brown in his account of Negaristan Palace in Teheran: > a beautiful marble bath [is] furnished with a long smooth glissoire, called > by the Persians sursurak ("the slide"), which descends from above to the > very edge of the bath. Down this slope the numerous ladies of Fath-'Ali > Shah's harem used to slide into the arms of their lord, who was waiting > below to receive them.
