Suppose they had wished to quit his service, and so the whole army had filed off before him in full retreat, how could the patriarch have brought them to halt? Doubtless with his wife, seven sons, and three daughters for allies, he would have soon out-flanked the fugitive host and dragged each of them back to his wonted chain and staple.
But on getting into position Brown reported to Cheatham that he was out-flanked several hundred yards on his right, and that it would lead to inevitable disaster for him to attack. The 97th Ohio, of Lane's brigade, was to the left of the battery, in front of Spring Hill, with the left of the 97th extending towards Mount Carmel road.
"Yet is he a mighty man and strong, my Rogerkin-never despond, man, for I tell thee ha! heard ye that outcry? The outlaws be at work at last, they have Sir Pertolepe out-flanked d'ye see now might ye behold what well-sped shafts can do upon a close array pretty work-sweet work! Would I knew where Walkyn lay!" "Here, comrade!" said a voice from the shade of the great tree.
The line had crossed the head of the park and the foot, and was closing in on three sides. The detachment were being out-flanked. More than half the horses were down. The rifle fire never slackened. Matters looked very serious. An Indian called to Gruard. "Hello, Standing Bear! You are all dead. Do you think there are no men but yours in this country!"
I don't want to lose my head it's rather a nice one sound and reliable and all that." He sat back in his chair with a laugh. "You're very clever," he told her admiringly. "I always seem to be out-flanked in the end.
Had the swordsmen charged home, they would have cut everybody down. But they did not. These wild men of the mountains were afraid of closing. The retirement continued. Five or six times the two companies, now concentrated, endeavoured to stand. Each time the tribesmen pressed round both flanks. They had the whole advantage of ground, and commanded, as well as out-flanked the Sikhs.
But however great this enthusiasm, it did not blind Moreau to the terrible position in which he found himself. At the risk of being out-flanked, it was necessary for him to present a parallel line to that of the Russian army, so that, in order to face his enemy, he was obliged to extend his line from Lake Lecco to Pizzighitone that is to say, a distance of fifty miles.
The losses were not exceptionally great, and this fact proves that the British troops are of very much higher quality than their adversaries. At Modder River, on the 28th, the numbers were practically equal. The Boers were strongly entrenched and concealed, and could not be out-flanked.
A warm action ensued, which was kept up with great spirit until the arrival of Lafayette, who, perceiving Wayne to be out-flanked both on the right and left, ordered him to retreat and form in a line with the light infantry, who were drawn up about half a mile in his rear. The whole party then saved itself behind a morass.
At first I thought it was a party of savages who had observed the schooner, but I was speedily undeceived by observing a body of natives apparently several hundreds, as far as I could guess in the uncertain light bounding through the woods towards the scene of battle. I saw at once that this was a party who had out-flanked our men, and would speedily attack them in the rear.
