OF the several causes of fear, that OF

a severe thunder storm broke over

five OF the men fell senseless and were
mourncd by their companions as dead.
Col. Hayes detailed two men to each
Of the unconscious soldiers. and him
self demonstrated the methods used
in resuscitating the drowned. After
ten minutes Of Intellectual effort the
soldiers declared It folly to try longer:
the men were dead. The colonel or
