was transferred to the SfaX, but he walk
ed with firm tread and during the entire
trip never showed sign of weakness or
nervousness. Capt. Dreyfus was ignorant
of the fact that a new courtmartial await
ed him, and remained in Ignorance dur
ing the first part of the voyage. When
he was finally informed not a muscle of
his face moved. He merely said:

shall be glad to re-enter the army, which
| have never ceased to love"
