seven in the morning
July 11 . Cialdini began passing the Po on the 8th , and crossed at three points , i.e. , Carbonara , Carbonarola , and Follonica . Beginning at three o'clock in the morning , he had finished crossing upon the two first pontoon bridges towards midnight on the 9th . The bridge thrown up at Follonica was still intact up to seven in the morning on the 10th , but the troops and the military and the civil train that remained followed the Po without crossing to Stellata , in the supposed direction of Ponte Lagoscura . Yesterday guns were heard here at seven o'clock in the morning , and up to eleven o'clock , in the direction of Legnano , towards , I think , the Adige . The firing was lively , and of such a nature as to make one surmise that battle had been given . Perhaps the Austrians have awaited Cialdini under Legnano , or they have disputed the crossing of the Adige .
