My friends fired into several of the houses from which smoke issued, but with what effect I do not know.

The amusement of the place seemed to be to watch soldiers running along an open road which was exposed to fire for about thirty yards.

Two had been killed in the morning, but this did not appear in any way to diminish the zest of the sport.

At least twenty soldiers ran the gauntlet whilst I was there, but not one of them was wounded.

As well as I could make out, the damage done to St.Cloud by the bombs of Mont Valerien is very inconsiderable.
A portion of the Palace and a few houses were in ruins, but that was all.
