The colonel tore open the envelope. "A Battery ... Limber-up and retire," he ordered; "B and D will follow." "The French artillery has been stopped," he explained shortly. "We are going to make the stand at Béthancourt, three miles farther back."

Murray, accompanied by Adair, and followed by the whole of the boats of the Flash, immediately pulled on board her.
Much confusion was observed among the artillery-men, and in a short time several of the guns were dismounted, and four or five powder waggons blown up. Then a loud cheer burst from the Russian artillery-men as they saw the French bring up the horses from behind the shelter of the crest, limber-up and drive off with the guns.
