Denmark also concluded peace at Kiel and ceded Norway to Sweden, upon which the Swedes, quasi re bene gesta, returned home. The allies would, on the contrary, have acceded to all the desires of Bavaria and have guaranteed that kingdom. Even the Austrian troops, that stood opposed to Bavaria, were placed under Wrede's command.
The stone seemed to be a kind of sign-post; for as the old Bedou sheikh who was with us said, there was in olden days, about 500 years ago, a caravan road this way to Mecca, before the Bahr-Safi made it impassable. The Bahr-Safi is a quicksand, north of Shabwa, but none of those present had been there, and they all laughed at Von Wrede's story of King Safi and his army being engulfed in it.
The unhappy remnant of General de Wrède's force asked if they might defend this redoubt, which they did with much courage. The fighting began on the 17th and went on all day without Marshal Saint-Cyr being forced out of his position.

Wrede's artillery was captured by the enraged peasantry and cast, together with the artillerymen, into the river.
Thereupon Colonel Hudson Lowe rode away southwards, to beg reinforcements from Wrede's Bavarians. They, too, failed to break that indomitable infantry. The 180 wagons had to be left behind; but the recruits plodded on, and seemed likely to break through to Marmont, when the Czar came on the scene.
Cyr left Wrede's gallant conduct unmentioned in the military despatches, and that when, on St. Cyr's being disabled by his wounds, Wrede applied for the chief command, which naturally reverted to him, the army being almost entirely composed of Bavarians, Napoleon refused his request. Voelderndorf says in his Bavarian Campaigns that St.
The Tyrolean riflemen, who were accustomed to bring down chamois from the mountain peaks, defended the bridge, and made terrible havoc in the Bavarian ranks. They seized Wrede's artillery and flung guns and gunners together into the stream, and finally put the Bavarians to rout, with severe loss.
