In a corner of the hut stood a standard captured from the French,

and the accountant with the naive face was feeling its texture,

shaking his head in perplexity-perhaps because the banner really

interested him, perhaps because it was hard for him, hungry as he

was, to look on at a dinner where there was no place for him. In

the next hut there was a French colonel who had been taken

prisoner by our dragoons. Our officers were flocking in to look

at him. Prince Bagration was thanking the individual commanders

and inquiring into details of the action and our losses. The

general whose regiment had been inspected at Braunau was

informing the prince that as soon as the action began he had

withdrawn from the wood, mustered the men who were woodcutting,

and, allowing the French to pass him, had made a bayonet charge

with two battalions and had broken up the French troops.
