The hollow, in the twilight of a summer evening, presented a scene of great interest—the wounded of both armies crying piteously for "water! water!"

Our division made direct for La Belle Alliance; where being ordered to halt, and there being no enemy to be seen, but heaps of wounded French soldiers, we prepared to bivouac exactly at half-past nine, having been nearly twelve hours under arms, ten under fire, and, perhaps, eight hours hotly engaged in some shape or other.
