eoon er dawn the French assembled all Their drums
and trumpe,s on the Top OF me hgnes, Of tne ms
Nv earned and a wild flourish snd roll repeated
.gsip ard again ard broken by peals Of sound from
,l hughes Of the infsntry celebrated their victory ere
they departed. Itwa spirited stirring, and thrilling
rnusc and its effect no it sweled through the dark
ness Of early morning down over the valley, Gao
never be forgotten. Our watch.hres were still burn
ing languidly the sleepers reused Themselves, al
wet with dew, and prepared 70 leave the scene o.
their triumybs The fcgs Of tha night erept slowly
I'D the hill sides and hung in uncertain folds around
m. r suuuts revealing bere and there the gathering
columns Of regiments in dark patches on the de-
clivties or showing The deep, cklooking squares
of the French battalons, already IN motion toSard

moving eiong slowly by the line Of the coast, the
long lines of smoke trailing back on their wake.
But what il that gray mas on the plain which seems
