brigade

The brigade was formed in line of battle, and after a pause started slowly through the woods in the rear of the receding skirmishers, who were con- tinually melting into the scene to appear again farther on.

After a time the brigade was halted in the cathedral light of a forest.

A brigade ahead of them and on the right went into action with a rending roar.

And, to save me, I can't remember whether the Hancock Fire Brigade was a republican or a democratic organisation.

And, oh, it wasn't John Barleycorn's fault that he didn't get me that night of the Hancock Fire Brigade.

AFTER the departure of the different detachments, or brigades, as they are called by the fur traders, the Beaver prepared for her voyage along the coast, and her visit to the Russian establishment, at New Archangel, where she was to carry supplies.

Her departure and that of the various brigades, left the fortress of Astoria but slightly garrisoned.

They removed their emporium from Astoria to Fort Vancouver, a strong post on the left bank of the Columbia River, about sixty miles from its mouth; whence they furnished their interior posts, and sent forth their brigades of trappers.

In the meantime, they detach bands, or "brigades" as they are termed, of trappers in various directions, assigning to each a portion of country as a hunting or trapping ground.
