With the coming of the flashing Ughtning, with its illumina- tion of the country for miles about, we could see that we were in the midst of the seething life of the army, for, dragging through the fields, where the mud was less deep, were mile after mile the endless columns of the Russian munition and transport trains. Caisson after caisson, each with its six sturdy little horses straining against their collars, dragging their loads of shells forward, the riders on the teams dripping with the r...ain, their necks pulled in between their shoulders (even as a turtle pulls his head into his shell) to keep the water from running down their necks. For one instant one sees them stretching away ahead and behind on the road as far as the eye can reach, and then the return of the darkness shuts them out as utterly as the putting of a cap on the lens of a camera. Thus for an hour we plimged and wallowed through the mud, which each moment threatened to bring us to a standstill for the night. Now there creeps into the background of the turmoil of THE PRELIMINARIES OF VICTORY 105 sound made by the thunder and the roar of the wind and rain upon the canvas of the motors another sound, which is so unbroken that at first we take it for the rumbling of the storm, but quick white flashes on the distant horizon, first here and then there, indicate clearly enough where the Russian guns are laying the foundation for to- morrow's attacks.
