We made our best speed across the
strip OF wood that now divided us from
the stockade, and at every step we

and plunged into the trees. %
After reloading, we walked down thu
outside of the palisade to see the faller
enemy. He was stone dead-sho'
through the heart.
We began to rejoice over our goot
success, when just at that moment {
