His route lay through Stratherric, Lord Lovat's estate, on the south side of Loch Ness. Fort Augustus surrendered without opposition; and the next visit which Lord Loudon paid was to Castle Downie, where he prevailed on Lord Lovat to go with him to Inverness, and to remain there under Loudon's eye, until his clan should have been compelled to bring in their arms.
For the Attack itself, which is to be Fourfold, our picked Officers are chosen, with the 20 best Battalions in the Army: Czernichef is apprised; who warmly assents, and offers every help: '800 of your Grenadiers, answers Loudon; 'no more needed. Loudon's arrangements for management of the ladders, for punctuality about the routes, the times, the simultaneity, are those of a perfect artist; no Friedrich could have done better.
"For, in fine, between 5 and 6, that is in about three hours and a half, Loudon was everywhere victorious; Zastrow, Schweidnitz Fortress, and all that it held, were Loudon's at discretion; Loudon's one care now was to stop the pillage of the poor Townsfolk, as the most pressing thing. Which was not done without difficulty, nor completely till after hours of exertion by cavalry regiments sent in.
Loudon's compliments, and will he step in here for a moment?" "Mr. Gregg the lawyer!" "Look here, grandfather," I said, "I didn't want any of this. I can take care of myself; I have prospects and opportunities, good friends in the States " The old man waved me down. "It's me that speaks here," he said curtly; and we waited the coming of the lawyer in a triple silence.
But all we want is that you should drink one glass of wine with us, Perrier-Jouet, from Longhurst, on the occasion of my marriage, and Loudon's Mr. Dodd's departure." "Well, it's your lookout," said Nares. "I don't mind half an hour. Spell, O!" he added to the men; "go and kick your heels for half an hour, and then you can turn to again a trifle livelier.
He returned from the army seriously ill, and although he had apparently recuperated during the winter, the close of the year found him beyond all hope of recovery. Even the joyful intelligence of Loudon's victories was powerless to restore him to health. Loudon had won several battles, and had accomplished that for which Joseph had undertaken the war with Turkey.
As to the naval transactions in this country, though less infamous, they were not less unfortunate. Immediately on lord Loudon's departure from Halifax, admiral Holbourn, now freed from the care of the transports, set sail for Louisbourg, with fifteen ships of the line, one ship of fifty guns, three small frigates, and a fire-ship.
A big City with weak walls: another place to defend than rock-hewn little Glatz, if there be no better than a D'O for Commandant in it! But perhaps there is. "WEDNESDAY, 30th JULY, Loudon's Vanguard arrived at Breslau; next day Loudon himself; and besieged Breslau very violently, according to his means, till the Sunday following.
But all we want is that you should drink one glass of wine with us, Perrier-Jouet, from Longhurst, on the occasion of my marriage, and Loudon's Mr. Dodd's departure." "Well, it's your look-out," said Nares. "I don't mind half an hour. Spell, O!" he added to the men; "go and kick your heels for half an hour, and then you can turn to again a trifle livelier.
He kept it strictly in his own head; nobody but Daun and the Kaiser had hint of it, both of whom assented, and agreed to keep silence. Friedrich had disappeared to southwestward, Saturday, September 26th: 'Gone to Pilzen, reported Loudon's scouts; 'rests there over Sunday.
