For their part, Kondo and Ueno bivouacked at the same height for two nights, waiting to be rescued before moving lower for the pickup. |
They then turned back but halted their descent and bivouacked at about 7,000 meters after Kuribara became weak, it said. |
By nightfall, Hallowell's brigade had covered sixteen miles and had bivouacked at Spring Hill. |
They bivouacked quickly, and with as little noise as possible, set up an ambush to the rear in case they had been followed. |
By evening they came to the ruins of an ancient city and bivouacked within a building that, though roofless, otherwise remained stood intact. |
