Pickets of Cossacks and Hussars were stationed along the left bank of the Danube opposite Rustchuk, before the Russians crossed this river. At each Cossack picket was a beacon with tarred straw twisted round it, to be lighted in case of alarm, in order that danger might be at once sig- nalled down the whole line. 75 Skobeleff at Shipka. The day after the battle at Shipka, where the Turks under Vessel Pasha were surrounded and taken prisoners, Skobeleff reviewed his troops, and thanked them for ...the victory. The regiments were drawn up facing the Turkish forts, with their left flank on Mount St. Nicholas. Putting spurs to his horse, the general galloped down the line, and, waving his cap, shouted to the men : " In our country's name, on the part of our Sovereign, I thank you my comrades ! " It would be difficult to describe the enthusiasm that prevailed as the soldiers threw their caps in the air and cheered repeatedly, Skobeleff was evidently deeply moved, as I saw tears in his eyes. Indeed all were overjoyed at the success, every one kept holiday — except the dead, slain but yesterday, and still littering the ground before the trenches.
