3 Now the fighting was in the next mountains beyond and was not a mile away.
4 It was a hot night and there was a good deal going on up in the mountains.
5 That day I visited the posts in the mountains and was back in town late in the afternoon.
6 It was dark outside and the long light from the search-lights was moving over the mountains.
7 There was fighting in the mountains and at night we could see the flashes from the artillery.

16 The river ran behind us and the town had been captured very handsomely but the mountains beyond it could not be taken and I was very glad the Austrians seemed to want to come back to the town some time, if the war should end, because they did not bombard it to destroy it but only a little in a military way.
17 I had imagined that the condition of the cars, whether or not things were obtainable, the smooth functioning of the business of removing wounded and sick from the dressing stations, hauling them back from the mountains to the clearing station and then distributing them to the hospitals named on their papers, depended to a considerable extent on myself.
