inlying

Then guards and inlying pickets were mounted and the scouts withdrawn.

Behind it the infantry lie down to sleep, a section of each company, as an inlying picket, dressed and accoutred.

The inlying pickets were accordingly doubled, and every man slept in his clothes, so as to be ready.

A strong inlying piquet, to act eventually as a reserve, must be placed in a central position.

We very soon got settled down, and mounted a guard and an inlying picquet.
