Be mindful of that, general, and act accordingly.

General Massena, you will undertake with me the principal direction of this bridge-building, and accompany me daily to the island of Lobau.

Bertrand will direct the building of the four firm bridges which will connect Lobau with the shore of the Danube.

We will select the places for six bridges of boats which must also be thrown across.

To prevent interruption, the Austrians must be occupied, and Generals Fouchet and Roguet will therefore post batteries of fifty cannon and bomb-proof storehouses for ammunition, in order not only to keep the enemy from the left bank, but also to drive him out of all the islands in the Danube.
