text_original: Raglan, despite the lack of transport and the ravages of cholera, wanted to make an immediate assault upon Sebastopol. Had his advice been taken, Sebastopol would almost infallibly have fallen. But St. Arnaud, in the grip of a mortal disease, opposed these bold councils, and the great opportunity was lost. The garrison of Sebastopol were not less amazed than delighted at their escape.
