text_original: One sign of the accurate information given to the Turks was their directing the fire of their guns upon the bell tower which stood on a lofty place in the city. This was used as a watch tower for the Knights of St. John, and from it they could ob  serve and prepare against the Turkish attacks. But hardly had they organised this service, when the heavy fire of Turkish guns was turned upon their watch tower. It was battered to pieces and fell.
