Upon the following day the Earl of Marlborough, riding through the camp, saw Rupert Holliday, standing at the door of his tent. Beckoning him to him, he said: "Would you like a ride round Antwerp, Master Holliday? I have a letter which I desire carried to General Obdam, whose force is at Eckeron on the north of the city."
Scarcely had the messenger ridden into Eckeron, when a tremendous roar of musketry broke out in all quarters, and the desperate position into which the supineness of their general had suffered them to fall, was apparent to all. In a few minutes the confusion was terrible.
"If all goes well we shall in three days invest the place, advancing on all sides, and you can rejoin your corps when the armies unite." Rupert's horse was already saddled on his return, and Hugh was in readiness to accompany him as his orderly. It was a thirty miles ride, and it was evening before he reached Eckeron, having seen no enemy on his line of route.
