announced themselves by shooting
dead the first OF the brothers and dan
gerously wounding the second. The
odds are fearful, but the fight proceeds.
The wounded man leans against the
rock, and, though he receives another
and fatal shot, kills two Of the Turks
before he dies. The sister presses for
ward, aud grasps his rifle and his dag
ger. At last all are killed on both
sides, excepting herself and a single
Turk. She AXIS for mercy, and he
