"Plenty of water all about, but I suppose mostly of bad quality; at least Torgau has declined drinking it, and been at the trouble to lay a pipe, or ROHRGRABEN, several miles long, to bring its culinary water from the western neighborhoods of Siptitz Height. Let readers keep mind of them.
"Through, no: and were we through, is not there the Rohrgraben?" thinks Ziethen, not seeing his way. "There still," reports Mollendorf, "the solid road is; unbeset hitherto, except by me Mollendorf!"
Ziethen's Generals, Saldern and the Leuthen Mollendorf, are full of gloomy impatience, urgent on him to try something. "Push westward, nearer the King? Some stroke at the enemy on their south or southwestern side, where we have not molested them all day? No getting across the Rohrgraben on them, says your Excellenz?
The Hill Siptitz, with this ROHRGRABEN at the southern basis of it, makes a very main figure in the Battle now imminent. Siptitz Height is, in fact, Daun's Camp; where he stands intrenched to the utmost, repeatedly changing his position, the better to sustain Friedrich's expected attacks.
Siptitz Village, and their Battery there, is on our side of the Rohrgraben: UM GOTTES WILLEN, something, Herr General!"
