And at this Simonne told them how Nana had recognized in Satin an old schoolmate, had taken a vast fancy to her and was now plaguing Bordenave to let her make a first appearance on the stage.

"Wait till we are gone!"
But a voice was heard shouting: "The duchess! Saint-Firmin! The duchess and Saint-Firmin are wanted!" Only when the call was repeated did Prulliere remember that he was Saint-Firmin!

Ferguson and Collins immediately resolved to surprise the Polish nobleman, and for that purpose, on the 15th of October , they embarked 250 men in boats, rowed ten miles up the river before daybreak, landed within a small distance of his infantry, left fifty men to guard their boat, and with the remainder of their force suddenly fell on the unsuspicious detachment, killed fifty of them among whom were the Baron de Bosc and Lieutenant de la Borderie, and retreated with scarcely any loss before they could be attacked by Pulaski's cavalry.
