1 On the opposite side the enemy could be seen by the naked eye, and from their battery a milk-white cloud arose.
2 "That's our battery," said the staff officer indicating the highest point.
3 Having ridden round the whole line from right flank to left, Prince Andrew made his way up to the battery from which the staff officer had told him the whole field could be seen.
4 It was true that a view over nearly the whole Russian position and the greater part of the enemy's opened out from this battery.
5 To the left from that village, amid the smoke, was something resembling a battery, but it was impossible to see it clearly with the naked eye.
6 In the center, where Tushin's battery stood and from which Prince Andrew was surveying the position, was the easiest and most direct descent and ascent to the brook separating us from Schon Grabern.
7 Mounting his horse again Prince Andrew lingered with the battery, looking at the puff from the gun that had sent the ball.
8 His eyes ran rapidly over the wide space, but he only saw that the hitherto motionless masses of the French now swayed and that there really was a battery to their left.
9 However, he put his horse to a trot in the direction of Tushin's battery.
10 By this time they were all approaching Tushin's battery, and a ball struck the ground in front of them.
11 They had reached the battery at which Prince Andrew had been when he examined the battlefield.
12 About Tushin and the battalion that had been in support of his battery all was forgotten.
13 In the center Tushin's forgotten battery, which had managed to set fire to the Schon Grabern village, delayed the French advance.
14 The horses were replaced by others from a reserve gun carriage, the wounded were carried away, and the four guns were turned against the ten-gun battery.
15 He delivered the order and did not leave the battery.
