I asked at another — ' full of wounded soldiers.' In a third, also full of the wounded. In a fourth, just the same ; but I was not to be denied this time, and looked up and saw a window which was dark. ' What have you got up there ? ' I asked. * More wounded soldiers.' * That we shall see for ourselves.' I went up and found three empty beds, with good and apparently fairly clean straw mattresses. Here we took up our night quarters, and I slept capitally." The Crown Prince, who had received larg...e rein- forcements after the battles of Wissemburg and Worth, now detached his Baden contingent to besiege Strasburg, while some of his Bavarian troops proceeded to besiege Phalsbourg and other fortresses of the Vosges. The Prince himself, with his main army, marched westwards across Lorraine, took the town of Nancy without resistance, and crossed the Moselle ; then he turned northwards, and had joined the direct road from Metz to Verdun, at the time the armies of Steinmetz and Frederick Charles were occupied in pushing Bazaine back into Metz.
