While dragged the cold hours, some of the officers threw the capes1 of their cavalry2 greatcoats over their heads, and stretched upon the snow, slept. The general, having finished his inspection3, did likewise. But the Osages did not sleep; neither did the men of the ranks, now collected closer in groups at their horses’ heads, to keep warm. The stag-hounds, Maida and Blucher, shivered and whined4, and curled in a ball.
Beyond, upon the crest5 of the ridge6, an Osage and two of the officers were keeping keen watch upon the unconscious village below.
Ned dozed7; when he awakened8, stiff and shivering, the moon had set, all was pitchy dark, except that far in the east just a tinge9 of grayness signaled the approach of dawn.
Somebody near Ned stirred, and struck a match. It was the general, who looked at his watch. The flickering10 light revealed his anxious face and moustache rimmed11 with frost. He stood, and bending over another sleeping form he said, low and earnest: “Moylan! Moylan!”
[205]
“Yes, sir.” And the adjutant also sat up, to yawn, and spring to his feet.
“It’s time we were forming. Wake the officers,” continued the general. “Is that you, trumpeter?”
“Yes, sir,” answered Ned.
“You may help us. When you come to Colonel Myers, either of you, give him my compliments and tell him to move his command out at once and take position.”
