Here, on the 26th of August, 1444, fifteen hundred Swiss had the courage to attack and resist a French army of more than thirty thousand men, commanded by the Dauphin, afterwards Louis XI. It is said that all but fifty of the Swiss were left dead on the field, with over four thousand Frenchmen. The valor of the Swiss so impressed Louis that when he became king he sought their alliance. In half an hour after leaving Basle the train entered a mountainous region, wound through a pretty valley, fol...lowing the frequent curves of a stream, and then ascended by a sharp gradient to the tunnel by which the Unter-Hauen- stein Mountain is passed. The tunnel is a mile and a half long, and upon emerging from it they descended towards the valley of the Aar, and soon after saw a long line of snow-capped mountains in the distance. These, the doctor told his companions, were the Bernese Alps, of which they would see a great deal during their travels through Switzerland. At Olten they changed cars, as the train on which they had come from Basle was going on to Lucerne, while they were bound for Neufchatel and Geneva.
