fore in the morning assault and the lines
as finally established left him midway be-
tween friend and enemy. One man had
been severely wounded in attemp ing 70

were thrown away before one lodged with

Finally, night setting in, opens chance
to get him of. A zigTsg is started from

well directed muscle, but noisslessly, as
