had spent all his life in the service OF
the family from which the younger
man came. On this terrific day. when
they were within few meters Of the
Russians. when they fought with
rocks. swords and anything they
could get hold OF, I saw these men
cling TO each other closely AT the
height Of the bloody excitement the
older seemed TO be min6ful OF the
younger always. At one lime few
OF the Russians actually succeeded in
rushing upon a part OF our line, One
OF the Russians raised the butt OF his

these two men. Then saw the old.

down the Russian with .he bayonet
