But at the moment the first report was heard, Bagration looked round and shouted, "Hurrah!" "Hurrah--ah!--ah!" rang a long-drawn shout from our ranks, and passing Bagration and racing one another they rushed in an irregular but joyous and eager crowd down the hill at their disordered foe.

The attack of the Sixth Chasseurs secured the retreat of our right flank.

In the center Tushin's forgotten battery, which had managed to set fire to the Schon Grabern village, delayed the French advance.
