"By Schandau region, north side of the Elbe, is Browne's easiest, and indeed one feasible, point of approach, no Prussians at present between him and that; the road open, though a far circuit northward for Browne, were he to cross the Elbe in Leitmeritz circle, and march with velocity? That too will be difficult, nearly impossible in sight of Keith.
This ice is only formed, according to Sommer, in the hottest part of the year. The other is on the Zinkenstein, one of the highest points of the Vierzehnberg, in the circle of Leitmeritz. It is described by Sommer as a cleft, five fathoms deep, in the basaltic rock, where ice is found in the hottest seasons.
To Friedrich, waiting at Leitmeritz, all these things are gloomily known; but the most pressing of them is that of the Austrians and Jung-Bunzlau close by. Let us give some utterances of his to Wilhelmina, nearly all we have of direct from him in that time; and then hasten to the Prince of Prussia there:
Kleist burns the considerable magazine of Saatz; finds the grand one of Leitmeritz too well guarded for him: upon which, in such snowdrifts and sleety deluges, is not Dresden plainly impossible, your Majesty? Impossible, Friedrich admits, the rather as he now sees Peace to be coming without that. Freyberg has at last broken the back of Austrian Obstinacy.
Einsiedel, in Prag, is to spike his guns, since he cannot carry them; blow up his bastions, and the like; and get away with all discretion and all diligence, northwestward first, to Leitmeritz, where our magazines are; there to leave his heavier goods, and make eastward towards Friedland, and across the "Silesian Combs" by what Passes he can. Will have a difficult operation; but must stand to it.
Gabel, Zittau lost in that case; game given up; reception likely to be bad at Leitmeritz! Course SECOND, the course Friedrich himself would at once have gone upon, and been already well ahead with, That of instantly taking measures for the relief of Puttkammer.
