this continued, but the sun went down,

kind OF trance. Soon the moon, pecring
over the mountains, penetrated into the
valley and cast the shadow of the great

so that in lny weakened state / fancied
giants were advancing over the floor OF

"How did l set about it? l struck the

arm into the earth, relieving myself OF
it's weight and at the same time freeing

over on my face and, supporting myself

g~allantry. He distinguished himself first
at Bulacan bridge and later at the en-
gagements of San Isidoro and Maasan.
He has proved himself a patriotic and
brave soldier under the most discour-
aging of conditions. When peace was
declared with Spain, the colonel desired
to return with his regiment TO their
homes, but in this he was opposed by
his officers, who wished to remain in
the field. The men under him combined
against him for this purpose, and the
regiment went to the Philippines. But
Colonel Summers did all his duty in spite
of the unpleasant situation in which he
found himself. In the swamps back of
Manila, he fought valiantly for the flag.
His record in the Philippines is highly
pleasing to the war department.
