The street- doors of the houses opened to them; they entered them, or took position behind the pillars, and fired from the windows and their hiding-places, at the Bavarians who were stationed on the upper bridge of the Inn, and were firing thence at the Tyrolese.
"They haven't caught him yet," thought Aleck, after some few minutes' beating of the cliff-top and slopes had taken place.
