we plunged In Among the Russian
gunners Well wonla If have beer
for them if they had killed -us all
before We reached them. They
had done too little and too much.
| They had sci us on fire with pas
sion. Only blood could quench
our thirst for revenge. We passed
through the battery like wbirl-
wind, sabring the gupners on our
passage / don't believe one of
them lived to tell the tale of that
ride. Out of the battery aud into
the brigade-an army it was--of
cavalry. Our charge was resistless.
"The Russians fell before our
sabres as corn falls before tie
reaper. They seemed to have no
power OF resistance. And there
was no lack of material to work
upon. They closed in upon as and
surrounded us on every side, bat
we hewed our way through them
as men bew their way through
virgin forest, ard only stopped
when we reached the bank of the
Tehernaya river.
Wheeling here we proceeded to
cut our way back again. On the
return ride | was assailed by gi-
gantic Russian trooper who made
strike at me with his sabre. l
partially guarded it, but not wholly,
and the next moment felt a sting
ing pain in my neck. IT passed
in a moment, however, andfI was
about to make short work of the
trooper, when / heard roy brother
cry:
"'Ah! you would, would you?'
and the Russian fell cleft to the
chin.
"We cut our way through and
once more entered the fatal valley.
When halfway back to our start
ing point a cannon shot struck my
brother aud beheaded him. Tom,
all, thank you!"
The color.sergeant drained an
other glass.
when we formed up on arriving
1T our starting point. Eord Cardi-
gan, with the tears streaming from
lis eyes, said
"'It was not my fault. my men,.
"And the men replied with one
'oice:
1--WE are ready to go in sgain,
ny lord, if yon will lead u.s.
"Just then i became dizzy. My
calp bad been lifted by the stroke
t the Russians sabre, the skin of
ny cheek cleft across to my upper
p, and Z tainted from loss of
lood.
"When my time expired in the
ayalry I re-enlisted in this regi-
lent. / am always proud to hear
lyself called one OF the six hum
red, but-poor Jack Fill that
lass again, Tom"
Thus ended the sergeant's story
the famous charge.
