watch fire

Napoleon's watch-fire was kindled behind the old guard, between Reudnitz and Crottendorf.

Camp Karonya was improving the moonlight night by sitting around a watch-fire, singing and telling stories.

Plater, benumbed with cold (it is himself who gives us the account), had drawn off his boots to warm his feet at the watch-fire.

It is a watch–fire, and our foes are waking up to warm themselves and to keep their watch.

Far away a red point rose and fell in the darkness—a watch-fire of the enemy upon the further shore.
