On long marches the artillery and wagon-trains should always have the right of way, and the troops should improvise roads to one side, unless forced to use a bridge in common, and all trains should have escorts to protect them, and to assist them in bad places.
When he reached the rail, he found the reef covered with them, some hailing the vessel, others menacing, hundreds still busied with their floating bridge, while a few endeavoured to frighten those on board by discharging their muskets over their heads. Happily, aim was impossible, so long as care was taken not to expose the body above the bulwarks. "We have not a moment to lose!" cried Mr.
The one on the right, from the same point, gave a view in the opposite direction, to the east. The middle screen presented a magnified view of the navigational globe on the bridge. Viewscreens were no novelty to the shoonoon. They were a very familiar type of oomphel. He didn't even need to do more than tell them that the little spot of light on the globe would show the position of the ship.
And old John Carter coming down the Warwick road with a load of hay, laid on the lash until piebald Dobbin snorted in dismay and broke into a lumbering run to reach the old stone bridge in time. The distant horsemen now were coming on again, riding in double file.
It was next proposed to pass the river at a ford a short distance from the bridge; but the troops had little heart for the enterprise, as the ford was covered by field works erected by the Irish. The assailants were already reduced to considerable straits.

At his first coming, things went as he would have them, for he made a bridge over Euphrates without much difficulty, and passed over his army in safety, and occupied many cities of Mesopotamia, which yielded voluntarily.
"I have not that honor, but I hope to do so before we part." "It was quite dark when you saw me on the bridge how comes it, then, that you recollect me so well?" "I have always been blessed with an excellent memory," said Sir Norman carelessly, "and I knew your dress, face, and voice instantly." "My voice! Then you heard me speak, probably to the watchman guarding a plague-stricken house?"
The ship would never get under way again. Up on the radar bridge, Roger was about to turn on the radar scanner when Tom appeared and stopped him. "Wait a while, Roger," he said.
