with him two pistols and . dagger, they
opened the door with as little noise as
possible and rushed on his bed. Tho
surprised md alarmed, Pichegru con.
dncled himself with the greatest yigor,
and n Such = manner that even his ene-
6ilS re forced to esteem his courage
ia pity his misfortnnes. He jumped
out Of his bed, naked and without arms,
knocked down four gems d 'drmss, and
they were unable TO hold him, although
six In number. He almost choaked two
in pushing them against the chimney;
athird he struck 80 strongly upon the
breast that he yet pits blood and the
fourth ne pinched in the arm with such
strength, that the gihs d 'armes cried out
!" II YOU do not let mo loose I'll shoot You
