above. But l did not fear this. 1t was
easy to keep under cover. And their
shouting no longer startled me- began
to see glimpse Of hope. It was plain
that the townsfolk were puzzled how to
come at us without suffering great loss.
They were unaware Of our mum bers, and,
as 1t proved, believed that We had three
uninjured men at least. The staircase was
