down out of his throat He looked
around him and saw that there was
some chance of holding the savages off
for hours. Out beyond he saw his two
stricken comrades. They were not
dead. He knew that because he saw
them move and occasionally weakly
raise themselves and send shot in the
direction of the red foe
