to him, though l went down. He

fight before | had time to look for
it.
About this time | got another
whack from the club That was
Powell. He and Paul ran toward
the train, with Smith after them.

Smith and | took our prisoners
to the camp hospital, where their
wounds and also our own were
dressed by DR.. Newburg and DR..
Davis. In the meantime the train
went off and we couldn't get to

Dingelberry from one of the Me-

Sergt. Smith, as he waited for the
1926 train, spoke highly of the
ability and courage of Gould, who
