say that after the first shot Collins
wheeled his horse and Spurred away. and
then was shot. On receiving the fire of
the officer he rcrlrd and fell dead. DobbS

water. Nevertheless, although if melted
before entering the mouth it assuages
thirst like other water, when melted in
the mouth it has the opposite effect. To

have only to remember that ice, which
melts more slowly in the mouth, is very
efficient in allaying thirst.
