The infant seemed as if its lips had but just then been disengaged, and it reposed its little head upon the mother's bosom, with an overflow of milk, frozen as it trickled from the mouth. Their countenances were perfectly composed and fresh, resembling those of persons in...
Seite 55 - Near another cart, a little further on the common, we perceived a stout- looking man and a beautiful young woman, with an infant about seven months old at the breast, all three frozen and dead.

During a march thus memorable for its miseries, he had just gained sight of a distant hamlet, where they might have obtained shelter from the inclemency of the weather, when his strength failed him. The commanding officer of the 55th rode by at that critical moment, but too late to render them any service ; and as the battalion passed the spot, the troops were witnesses in their turn of this melancholy scene.
