bivouac

Our airy bivouac, our fourth on the mountain, didn’t have an additional centimeter of space on any side.

In less than ten minutes, the bivouac was broken up, and our little army on the march.

There was a deep silence throughout the whole bivouac; some were sleeping, and those who watched were in no humour for idle chat.

The conjoint movement of the leaders toward the Indian bivouac was a signal for their followers to mingle and exchange greetings.

Ten minutes later they mounted and left their bivouac under the guidance of Lanzi.

Next morning Napoleon woke after his bivouac and looked to see his enemy gone, as at Pultusk and Eylau.
