He said nothing; he could not see and he did not care for the succession of chuckles in which Oconostota was resolved at the delightful spectacle of his dismay. The Cherokee had beaten this man of resource at his little game of war, and now had outmaneuvered him at his mastercraft of scheming! Stuart seemed utterly vanquished his spirit gone.
He was out-generaled, for one thing, because of his plan or his orders to strike a southeasterly blow; he was outmaneuvered by the presence of a vastly larger British force than he had any reason to expect, and he was outnumbered almost two to one. It was bitter fighting, and the German right contested every inch of ground stubbornly.
Liling, the grandson of this general, was intrusted with a fresh army to retrieve the fortunes of the war; but, although successful at first, he was outmaneuvered, and reduced to the unpleasant pass of surrendering to the enemy. Both Li Kwangli and Liling adapted themselves to circumstances, and took service under the Tartar chief.
On 2 May, 1813, he fell on the allied Russians and Prussians at Luetzen and defeated them, but was unable to follow up his advantage for want of cavalry.

After this her cause declined rapidly, and even her most ardent partisans admitted that she would never be more than an Intermittent Souse. The sagacious Quimbleton outmaneuvered them at every turn. Moderate drinkers rallied round Bleak.
"He'll have the range in a minute, sir," said Lieutenant Hetherington. "Bear off a little to the south," was the commander's reply. For almost an hour the Sylph outmaneuvered the German flotilla, and avoided being struck. All this time Lord Hastings was in constant wireless communication with the Undaunted, which was even now coming to give battle to the Germans.
